I bought a 58 panel van like yours when I got out of the army in 1970. I thought it would help me pick up hippie chicks, but it took a while for me to shed the 'ex-G.I.' image. Hippie chicks didn't dig warriors!

While I was waiting for my hair to grow out, I got tired of being passed in traffic by silver haired old ladies peering through the steering wheel. Man was that thing slow!

You know that your bug bus on that trailer is going to see speeds it could never reach on it's own, even headed down hill. Like the snail on the turtle's back said "Wheeee!"




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

So are you moving down full time? Are you going to restore it while in Mexico? If you need any hard to find parts let me know. My renter has been running an air cooled VW shop for 35 years and has a lot of good nos and used parts.

I like hippy chicks

how about some music to cruise by

not so sure about the dead head chicks though,
the LSD makes them bitter and depresed after a while.
they look good dancing in their long white skirt though
