Best thread on Samba.
Thanks for the updates.

Thanks y'all. If CB would donate an engine kit, we'd be set.

Now just few hundred more spot welds and couple a dozen more warp control clamps and weights.

Final welding done on frame top. Will flip over and do all final front end welds on bottom. Then Rotissori for pans.

How does your pedal assembly/foot space work out with the front frame brace?
or have you got something else in the works for that?

very cool build

Thanks man. It's getting to the point where you can slide your hands all along the chassis and not get cut.
