Depends on what you want to do with it. Do you want it to be a street car or off roader. Something in between?

Any standard Beetle chassis would work with Ghia floorpans. Might be the better alternative if you want to "slam" it [cringe] Rolling Eyes

Wise words here! Plenty of Things resurrected on a beetle backbone, with Ghia pans!
Good job on saving that body!

Can you get a friend to buy the pan for you. I had a buddy do that with a 62 Bug in a junkyard.
