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
funny...I still remember getting that conversion kit..it was a game changer,,,
