RE: 1956 VW

I'm doing a 56 and have completely disassembled it to the frame, removing and rebuilding the engine, brakes, front end, shocks, and new floorboards and interior. I'm putting it back as if it were off the showroom floor. All original parts. Lots of wrecking yards and the ebay for parts. Hope you don't put as much into your as I will in mine, but I only traded an old shotgun for the car!
