This warmed my frozen, unresponsive soul.
Dr. Poo?
God, that is beautiful. Now I want it. Damn you, Torch.
When I was rear-ended in my (ubiquitous VW reference) 1970 Type III Squareback in high school, I was very lucky that it had headrests as (a) even with the headrests I managed to rip all the muscles on the front of my neck and (b) still broke the seat risers going backwards through the seat into the back seat.
Without…
If I’m not mistaken, your headrest / no headrest example photo is of pre-1974-era VW Type 1 / 3 front seats. If so, well played, sir.
I loved this movie when it came out in 1999 (I’m barely old enough to remember Watergate) - I’m glad you brought it up as I think my teen-age son & daughter would appreciate it. We may need to watch it this weekend (I think we have the DVD).
Also, KiTH sighting with both Bruce McCulloch and Dave Foley!
Or a 5th generation Mustang that’s been doing the South Beach Diet.
Or just set it on fire again and don’t call the FD this time...
Magic cadaver underwear!
Back in the 80s, I was that kid in a high school economics class. The teacher (who was really the football coach), got twisted in knots and kicked me out of class once when he was trying to talk about communism. He kept referring to the USSR as a ‘communist country’ (a la Ronald Reagan) in his lectures. Finally I…
Sounds a lot like the Pacific NW weather-wise. Although here we have passive-aggressive drivers instead (“No, please, you go first!”). You’d like it here - especially if you have a masochistic streak.
Also, don’t forget to refer to someone who passes you as either a “maniac” or a “yobbo”.
He just hates anyone who won’t toot his horn, is I think the more correct analytical framework here.
Aha - thanks for the link! That’s a funky-looking form-factor, but his reasons (crush space) are quite sound:
I want to see what he did with the front-end. I’m hoping for a trunk a la aircooled VWs (of course the radiator is still up front). With the gas tank still in the rear (at least in one of the photos above), it would need some weight up front to keep the weight ratio at some level of sanity.
Gott im himmel!
Seriously, that onramp video sounds amazing. Much kudos to the builder.
Buy yourself a 120VAC to 12VDC converter. Something like a Peak PKC0JK-01.
I came here to say this.
Classic car body on a Model 3 skateboard...I’m thinking BMW 1600 or 2002 would fit quite nicely. Plus you’d end up with a frunk!
