These are some great pics Valky. Thanks for stopping by and bringing my OEM exhaust for my ex-Crossfire. Kellie is thinking of putting it back on, and removing the Magnaflow.

Well Vaky, we went to Hooters after the Midwest Hot-rods event. They had a car show there as well, and my truck stole the show. Here are my trophies...

So you went and got yourself a Jimmy Dean coffin.
I must say that is a mighty good looking one.

Valky, I went to the Jefferson WI. car show. It's a huge 3 day show held in the Spring and Fall every year. I didn't have any intention of selling my truck, but some guy wanted it pretty bad. He made me a couple of offers that I didn't accept. At the end of the show he made me an other offer. This time it would have been just dumb if I didn't accept it. Everything has a price. He was willing to pay that price. This truck was definitely a good investment...

James Dean died in a totally different Porsche. (But he did own a white one that looked like FP's).

I added another VW to the fleet. This time it's a 56 Oval window. I got this one from the original family. I had it fully restored off the frame. This is the finished product.

This is the finished product.

Now, THAT is SWEET !!!!
My Phs Ed teacher had one just like it, same color and all.
He drove it everywhere flat on the floor at 70 MPH !
We used to love going out in the parking lot and picking it up and turning it 90 degrees between the two adjacent cars. Took 4 of us to do it.

You bought my exact dream hard top FP. So cool they still make them. I remember looking at one at the new car show, and spending about a 1/2 hour climbing all over it. Congrats.

Thank you my friend. It is one sexy car. The hardtop is what attracted me to it too. You don't see this in cars anymore. It looks really cool with the windows open.
