Not new but never posted

Hi,
I've been a member here for a while but have never posted. In fact I had completely lost track of this site until I got a message yesterday that it was back up and running.:LOL: I'm glad that I was reminded because this is a great site.

My name is Walt, I'm older than dirt, and have been into Hotrods my whole life. I drive a blown 2 liter VW powered T bucket which is one of Andy Brizio's Instant T's from the 60's. I restored and up-graded it in 2001 and it's been a daily driver ever since. Currently I am in the process of building a Mid-engine Porche powered 34 Ford pickup for my son. I built the truck in 18 months and it has been stalled in the body/paint shop now for 8 months. The waiting is driving me crazy.

Here is a picture of the truck just before it went out to paint.
I'll see you guys and gals on the board.

Hey Walt,
Your truck has been talked about a couple times in years past on here. I posted the picture below 2 or 3 years ago that I got from someplace, but with some of the server crashes, even if I could find the old threads, the pic would probably be gone anyway. So here it is again.

I would encourage you to post up some in process pics in the gallery section linked to the camera icon under your name, folks would enjoy it.

Hi Walt, I believe I've seen your Volksrod at the Sacramento Bug-O-Rama car show. It's a very nice car and truely a piece of Hot Rod history.

My son and I run a 1960 Volkswagen drag car in the 11.90 index Super Gas class and attend the Sacramento race twice each year.
