Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)

I never really intended to keep the Beetle long-term, but I figured it might sell quicker than the Blazer. I ended up keeping it for about 4-months before trying to sell. I had a local guy call with interest, & he was a VW fanatic looking for an old Bug to tinker with. Needless to say, he ended up taking it home in March 2009. That freed up some funds that would allow me to keep searching for a classic truck. It took about four months of browsing around before I came across the truck I now refer to as "Black Betty," which had been living right there in Pensacola "under my nose."

Now that all the "jibber-jabber" is out of the way, maybe my next post will be more progress pictures.
