I like to think this build produced all kinds of happy memories and multi-generational teaching experiences. It would take a helluva lot of skill to pull this off so maybe that knowledge got passed down to others.
Q: Why?
A: Because I can.
I remember when I was in high school in1968, a friend had a shortened VW van. We would take it out to the oil fields in Brea and have a blast!
