Hi all,
I need some info. I found a 55-57 rag top oval bug at a salvage yard this weekend. its in good shape. The car is rusted to the ground and hacked, but from mid door pillar on up is great shape, hardly any rust. I think i can get it farley cheep. Now my question is: Can I grart this to my 1960? i realize that i would have to cut out the entire rear section because of the oval window. I am more concerned with the door pillars being correct size. I also have a 64, would that work too?
Thanks a bunch
