[T3] Crate is away for the season!

["Keith Park" <topnotch@nycap.rr.com>]

I got the engine back in and up and running... I planned on a midnight run
home to my fathers house where it will sit in a tent out of the weather for
the winter.  Seems the Crate has NO functional lights though, good thing it
already has a name or I would have named it "Lucas".  VW hadnt invented the
ground connection in 65 had they?
    So I drove it the 3 miles during daylight... which Im still seeing
through the floorboards.   It was a blast having it moving under its own
power for the first time in maybe 15 years.  It did OK, and made it.  Ill
post some more pictures when I get back from my Virginia trip next week.
    Next year I do the Pan, rockers and it would indeed be nice to have some
brakes that operate by foot.  We shall see how much time after Ive tended to
the 71.
