WWII P-47 Belly Fuel Tank….Street Rod?

Pint-Sized Rolls-Royce: 1974 Volkswagen Beetle
Paging Tommy Chong! Alright, so this is a little more in-depth than Anthony Stoner attaching the grille from his parents’ Rolls-Royce to the front of his Beetle in Up In Smoke, but the sentiment is the same. Though these types… more»
