Thanks all!!!

Rambler: It was in really good mechanical and body panel shape!

Tom: I've been busy amigo!!

Klasse: No, I think that honor goes to the 1961 Ferrari 250 I did.

LE: That 930 Turbo still holds a place close to my heart, but this was cool!!

Very Nice!!!

I worked as a painter in a VW dealership body shop in the 1970's. VW's had great alkyd enamel paint back in those days.
