Front end flipping

[rodderdan]

I am removing the fenders from my 68 Bug.I want to extend the front end.I saw a car with the front extended by flipping the front control arms.How is this done?Do you have to swap them side for side?What do you do with the steering?Seems to me the tie rods will have to be modified. Thanks...

You're going to want to check out www.volksrods.com a lot of the guys there have already covered this.

A little piece of advise if you go over there, use the search function. There is plenty of information in past threads and if you ask a question that's already been answered, you will get clowned.

Thanks for the reply.I am a member of Volksrods.com (my cars are pictured there).I have seen the front end extension kit on that website but nothing about flipping.I'll try the search and see if anything comes up.Thanks

Flipped arms has been talked abotu there a few times, someone has done it there and ironed out most of the problems. There's a sticky thread on top of the form Too Lazy for Search Function with commonly asked topics including this one. The topic you want is listed under flipped front end

Thanks for the reply.I checked that site once and the info was pretty vague.I'll check it again.Thanks...

I gave you direct links to the threads with pictures, steering box locations, pictures, trailing arm setups, pictures, etc. If that's still "pretty vague" then I don't know...

Got the pictures this time.Don't know why I couldn't before.I'm computer challenged (I don't know jack shit about em).By the way what the hell is a thread?

Your writing in a thread. Front end flipping is the subject of this thread.
