Rogallo, David & '72 VW

I got a "killer deal" on the '72 because some guy committed suicide in it. Originally it was sky blue but his friends said it weirded them out to see it still driving around the Outer Banks, so I painted it. The color scheme is inspired from a belt I picked up while hang gliding in Guatemala. That trip is a whole 'nother story.
