There is so much I uncovered when searching for the Steve "Builder" VandenBerg info for the 2007 KC Reunion. I was a bit overwhelmed.

I'll start here -- the
beginning of the adventure to Kansas City, taken from the
February 2007 News page, written by John.
IRWIPI - TRIPLE DOG DAREHe's CRAZY!!! It ran when someone parked it -- I triple dog dare you to drive it home!Read the
News story.
That was the *start* of the idea. Notice the News date is February ... months before the KC Reunion.

And the
beginning of the 1965 Chevy pickup comes from one of
Builder's Gallery pages.
His original submission date for this Gallery page was a month before the Reunion. An update was added in October 2007, just after the Reunion. By then, it IS the
The Erwhipee Truck.More to follow.
