Jeff, tell them what else we found for your truck! :wink:

I just now realised that I didnt ask Mike about the buggy! :twisted:

Remind me when we go next time.

I will try to get your headliner made next week so you can have it covered.

One of the things I have always wanted to build was a Manx style fiberglass bodied VW buggy. I have been to this junkyard a minimum of 50 times over the years and Jeff and I had walked it once already and after seeing how manyVW's were in the yard ( atleast 25, maybe more) I told Jeff about wanting to build a buggy one day. This afternoon we pulled the interior parts for Jeffs truck and decided to make another walk through and as we went by a building that we have walked by atleast 3 times prior to today Jeff said something like "hey, is this what your looking for" and there it was, a complete manx style buggy. Dont know how we had missed it as many times as we had walked by it. I was going to ask the owner how much he wanted for it and completely forgot!

We will be going back to pick up something else that Jeff found today that we missed last time we went through so I wont forget to ask about the buggy next time. The owner of this yard sells his stuff at super great prices so it should be an awesome deal if its for sale.

I dont remember seeing any crew cabs but there are a couple suburbans in there. Some of the trim should be the same as the crew cab. He also has an early 80's malibu wagon.
