And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

Had a '54 with 1100cc engine. Sheesh ,what a pig. Threw a rod coming back from Colorado River. Hitch hiked home to Tustin,CA and got a friend to tow it home behind his dad's station wagon connected with some half ass rope double up. Damn, that was a 300 mile E ticket ride.
I wanna build a VW bus witha modern suspension and driveline. maybe set the microbus body on a toyota Previa minivan chassis ?
gotta finish my 65 Falcon station wagon and my 73 Bronco first though, and finish painting my house, and replace the rotten sill beams in my hunting cabin, and, and, and ...
I had a '59 with double doors and the mighty 36hp engine!
