  • Today the truck saw daylight for the first time after a three year restoration. There are a few more things to do but the trials went perfectly. The restoration story begins here

    Hi King de Glide, Just got through with a thanksgiving binge watching of your fantastic restoration of Funky Truck. A Zen treat for sure. [particularly the before and after 2001 (inspired ?) 360 barrel roll shots.] WOW. Talent, good looks, great humor ... BRAVO

    Add some Coker whitewall croslys, and safaris. I promise you, they will hound you at every stop. That's how I'm treated in my 59' combie with all safaris open on real wide whitewall crosplys barring big band jazz from the radio!! I love it. Cheers.

    In my heart I know I need a VDub bus in my life .
    Discovered your Channel today and love what you have done with the single cab .
    I live in the U.K. . Please go check out what Wayne Allman did to his single cab . Look of Mental Breakdown on UA-cam .
    That was a scrapper too . It's probably the fastest Drag truck in the uk
