    Hello,

    A nice transportation for a surf exploration along the So Cal coast line. Cool looking, cool interior with A/C is presumed and plenty of space for campgrounds. Or, a nice cushion sleeping area in the vast cave of the back flat area. With comfort like that, even two old seniors on a weekly road trip to the ocean shoreline would fit nicely if an overnight was necessary or desired.

    If a surfboard were to take the trip with us, the small 6’ 8 inch modern speed rocket would fit nicely in the back or on a special interior rack. This would be a welcome relief from the road clogging sprinter vans, now reaching popularity along the coastal areas. At least it does not look as if it would get blown over in a nice cross wind.

    The problem of this build is that as nice as it is for the custom look and comfort, it may be too large to fit in our small two car garage. Unless of course, the tall front cabinets were modified and an air suspension was installed to lower the overall height to clear the door opening. Yikes!

    ^ That '67 looks great in Marina Blue. 4 speed, gauges, including blinker tach, dual mirrors, and antenna on the quarter panel would be an AM radio from the factory.

    Gotta like a 3 pedal car with an early hemi, dual quads, chrome wheels with spider centers, and a white firewall!

    Congratulations. There's nothing that can compare to it.:D
    I've got two new grandchildren imminent. One due in 3 days, one due in 3 weeks. That will up the tally to four.

    Wow I know that you’re excited about that!! His sister is my sidekick in the garage and loves old cars and hot rods. Anytime I take one out she is up for a cruise and insists that I come get her if she isn’t with me. This is her a couple years ago wanting me to take her for a ride…. IMG_1499.jpeg
