GW, in '60 I owned one of the first '58's we could get in the shop. A white one. Super early motor. Took it to the track and it vibrated so bad I just couldn't drive it. Pop called out to Mr. Mac and had a pre-production Mc5-to-Mc6 conversion kit in our hands in about a week. Never looed back. Charlie had a modified '58 hanging on the seatback of his converted dead axle Bug for a few months. It ran pretty good after my Pop ground a lot of iron off the rod journal cheeks. I doubt I can post a pic, nut I will try. Hey, it worked! Check out that sexy Athan steering wheel and the Dico steel front wheels that came off my kart. Ted
