1st off, signup and show the people at Volksrods.com That's one of their fav kits, I'm they're be interested in seeing your project as well. I'm glad to see another one of those kits. Check out his story/resto of Walts kit here:
http://www.walts.info/Volks-Rod%20Home.htm

"Kent (the kit designer) built about a dozen before he sold the kit to Speedway motors.....Speedway proceeded to sell about two dozen over the next twenty years but stopped production in 1994 or 95....At some point Andy Brizio of Andy?s Instant T saw Kent's car and decided to build his own kit. He sold about a dozen, mostly to friends and relatives, before he dropped the kit from his line of cars."

Walt's is Brizio's model I believe. I don't know who's make yours is, maybe other clones out there?

As posting photos, most people at volksrods.com use http://starphoto.starblvd.net/

I'm not 100% certain but I think Barris was the original designer. I'm not sure if he also made them or commissioned someone else to make them but there's a lot of clones as well. My fav is the C-cab buggy. If I ever find one for sale
