Some of you might get upset at me cutting up a bug. But anyway,I was asked if I could build a short vw bug. To be use as a clown car. I have seen a few pictures of some in the past. But can't remember were. Has any one ever done one or have any input on a short bug. The cutting,welding and body work is no problem. I got that covered. Mainly looking for ideas or pictures on cuite ,funny short bugs. I have a 1968 that needs work,and I plan on using. Thanks !

my phone broke so i dont have the pics anymore but at a local car show last year there was a "HALFBUG" convertible. The guy said he pretty much just cut the door section out and welded it back up and it just didnt have doors. You actually sat in the backseat while driving. It looked awesome! Just an idea
