      I agree I don’t understand in my opinion why collectors like to take original sheet metal from other cars to make one car when you could easily make the panels yourself and yes they’re not going to be original panels but at least it saves another car from being crushed I think it actually takes away from the collector hobby when you’re robbing good sheet metal off another car because you’re making that car a candidate for the crusher and it’s a shame because that’s one less left

And then you reached even greater heights when your buddy actually climbed Mt. Ever...😁er, uh, I mean the VW bus. Yup, I see more bus parts being rescued in your near future. Take care!!

We had a spell where winter returned but that was a few weeks before you, maybe we sent it over the Atlantic with love from the UK. 😁 Thanks for sharing this update Jason, hope you and the family are well.

    Nice ! 🙂👍 I remember there was a little import car garage in Canaan Connecticut across the street of a Chrysler Plymouth dealer the owners name was Bill what a character he was but he always had parts I needed for the old bugs I restored his basement was full of VW parts . I went down from Vermont one time and stopped to visit and he said check out the car I just picked up out back it was an all original 40k 1955 oval window Volkswagen beetle original cloth seats mouse hair headliner three fold ragtop paint wasn't perfect was alittle sun beaten like you see in texas but it was for sale for $5500.00 which was to much money for me at the time now it would be over $20.000.00 probably it was really a nice original car one other time I stopped he had out front a 1953 Corvette that was in a barn somewhere for years it still had the dust all over it it had sat for many years he said it ran but would need rebuilding. that car he was asking $5.000.00 This was back in the early 80s Bill passed a long time ago now I don't know if the garage is still there or not .Those were the days.
