First Buggy Build

Sounds good. We will have to hook up this spring.

You will love the nostalgia. I have no complaints at all.

I would wait to lay the floor until you have the body set on so that you have something to reference.

There is some variations in the fiberglass that you will want to match up to with the box. Keep the angles close to to the same.

I am trying to get my body bolted down this week. Then on to the little stuff.

got the chassis to this point.

i went ahead and painted it even though i still have to build the "pan" sections because i may be switching gears and working on the 65 (to the left).

So how is the build going? What did you end up doing for the chassis? Did you have a titled chassis from another beetle?

Still dont have the body yet. I was told should be here in 2 weeks. We'll see. I'm dying to get working on this thing. Gets a bit old standing in the garage every night staring at it for hours... Razz

I did finish the front end and accumulate almost all the parts I need.

I got a title with the chassis when I bought it. It's in my name now and titled as a 67 Beetle.
