I am responsible for building test cars, running the tests, fabbing test stands and running our two brake dynos. I currently drive a 1959 VW 3/4 ton pickup (loaded for the trip to Maine for our wedding). It is 99% correct and 100% ugly, but it runs anytime it is needed. I am currently ressurecting a 1978 passenger van for family use. The Reason: I am here to research the Deco trucks. The wife has fallen in love with them and wants me to get her one. So now I get to learn about old GM trucks.
Ted My ride but looking for a Deco Bolt for the wife.

I like the old VW, not too many of them around anymore.
