After Buddy decided to sell his '30 coupe it eventually wound up in Northern California with Pro Skateboarding Legend Steve Caballero! After Steve drove the car for a while he felt the need to change the car "that everyone knew as Buddy's old car". He took the coupe to friend & fellow Road Zombies CC member Alex Gambino. Steve and Alex decided to completely redo the car in a very cool "gold" 60's style Hot Rod. It was totally stripped down to bare metal Everything on this ride is pro( re)built or brand new. As you can see...they did an outstanding job! This turned out to be one hell of a slick & traditional hot rod! Skip got the coupe from his friend Stan from Kentucky,USA Stan got it for two years, took good care of it, and drove it... like a Hot Rod should be driven. He got the car from his friend Steve Caballero two years before that, "man I'll miss that baby" Skip shipped the car over to the Netherlands. Were he and his Trashers buddy's get started. Lots of hard knock work & research to get a Dutch Title but at last... The coupe got Dutch papers !!! Skip made many cool trips ever since!
