He is enjoying it, I think we have him hooked! I believe it is having an engine fettle at the moment and he has some plans for the future as well.

My 67 feature car (Cover or Feb. 96 Hot VWs Cal Look issue) had a great stance to it. I was looking to get the old drag sedan stance from the late 60's/early 70's. It was one of my favorite builds of all the cars I've done.
I built it during a time when we were all trying to help create a resurgence in street driven sedans that with big motors could still be driven long distances. I had a much detuned 2110cc motor in it. One of my greatest accomplishments with the car was a trouble free 5200 mile round trip from Phoenix to Auburn Hills, Michigan, and back, in May of 1997. Don Builitta, Art Threan (ACE VW Carb Guru) and I, along with many others, did the BERG CRUISE that year to VW head quarters.

One more shot at 5:00am, in front of fellow cruiser Don Bulitta's house, the day we left for SLC to meet up with Art Threan (May 1997) before heading to Auburn Hills, Michigan. It had the look and stand going on.
