Bravo! What's next? Mk1 Scirocco? AWD Quantum with 1.8t?

Hard to say, it will be whatever I can find as a suitable candidate. This one was a little rougher starting point than I thought it would be, and I'm into it deeper than I planned. It would be nice to find something that didn't need a full-on bare metal repaint. I've done 4 of those in a row now...

Arne - I love that VW truck. Great looking and I am sure it will run forever now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I've been working on the Bunny Truck's engine compartment over the past few days, making some progress. It's never going to be pristine, but that's not really my goal. It does need to look presentable, though. Still a little more I want to do there, but realistically there's a point of dimishing returns on a job like this, and I'm probably already past it.

I'm calling it essentially done, other than some final cleaning and such. Posted this along with some pictures on a couple of FB groups and the requests for price and more info have been rolling in. We'll see if any are serious...

That thing is awesome! You've done a great job. This thing's gonna sell quick. I'd pull it and put it on BAT. I think you'd get double what you're asking.....maybe more.

I did give both BaT and Cars&Bids some thought. But both of them will only list it at No Reserve due to the branded title, even though the brand is not quite what it looks like. I'm not quite ready to take that risk yet.

But if I don't get any serious interest within a couple weeks, then I can assume I either have it priced wrong or don't have enough eyes on it. And selling it on one of the auction sites at no reserve solves both of those issues. So it could still happen.

Up next, Project #6 - 1964 Chevy C-10

Should be picking up a stalled project tomorrow. A '64 C-10 short step side. Converted to a 305 V8 (5.0L) and a overdrive manual transmission. Not as fast as it looks or as it will sound, so I hesitate to call it a "hot" rod -- maybe it's a warm rod.

This will be a new experience for me, I do NOT need to paint this one! Oh happy day!

Stepside short bed. Pretty cool. A gentleman farmer’s PU to drive to the diner for AM coffee.
