VW Truck 1959 being customized by Don Campbell .

VW Truck – Todays picture shows another project I did to keep me busy in my sparetime several years ago. I bought this 1959 VW Truck and the next week I began converting it into a shorty VW truck.
I started by cutting a three foot piece out of the center of the bed and welded it back together. Then I flared the rear fenders and put a slight flare on the front fenders. I mounted wide tires and cragar mags to give it a sportier look. Then I sanded down the whole body and primed it. There was no rust on the body . It had a 36 hp motor in it. I also built the light duty trailer to haul my rail dunebuggies on.
Date Night – Hey Deb, Lets go out , we had ribs, fries, cole slaw and corn bread , yum !
Cabin Fever- More snowy , cold weather and it’s cabin fever time.
We are going to try to avoid cabin fever and try something different.
Walked outside – Deb and I went for a nice walk outside and it seemed so nice.
More snow in Washington D.C.- Nicole and Bill just got a few more inches of snow and they got another big storm of over 12 inches coming this weekend.
Have a great Wed. !!!!!!!
