Sorry Mark thats not it, And I had the name wrong its called The Scamp.

Heres an ad I found of the wil-mac company.
I wish I could find one of these kits.

| I remember seeing them marketed as a "Veep" as well. Looks like it even says that on the fender. |

Grump: I posted about this thread on the Thing forum (many people there are familiar with ACVW SUV-type vehicles) in hopes of helping out. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=213957 Someone posted a good picture (front end) on there.
Keep an eye on that thread as well as this one.
Mark

Thanks Mark, I found a Classified ad here on thesamba for sale but it was deleted. These pictures are GREAT. I also found another company Heres the address.
Sun Valley Autotech
13802 N. Scottsdale Rd. #104134
Scottsdale, AZ 85254
(602) 991-8975
Kits: Jeep Replica
I'm going to wait until later to try and call them, I went to mapquest and tried to find them without results. Most likely out of business.
Thanks again
George
