Fiberglass Body Build

Wow, that is Long. Stock beetle is 94.5 and we take those down to just over 80 for typical buggies. 122 is 3 inches longer than my dodge grand caravan. I would guess it is nice and stable in a straight line, but not much of a cornering machine.

Here, I fixed it for you.

I would seriously shorten this thing before I went to all the trouble of making a body.

Here's some fiberglass work I did using foam sheets and expanding foam to build a front spoiler. This may help you??

Trynne that's awesome! Very helpful. I may use some of those tip, although I don't think I'll be leaving the foam in the body itself, with the exception of a few places. Very helpful however!
