Man, these unique builds are the best. I always love seeing new ideas coming about. I always see those huge 4 seater sandrails and I think the stretched out 4 seater baja will be way cooler than those. |

Saw this on the way back from Ocotillio last year.
Looked like they had cut 2 doors up to make one of the rear doors with square corners. |

I don't understand 4 doors. It just looks like you want to put people in the car with you. i.e. dead weight. Stick with 2 and tell them to get their own ride!

I have been wanting to do exactly what your doing for like 2 years. I got two cars i'd hack to pieces to do just what you are doing, a 61 baja, and a 69 baja. and i would have started doing just that, if i had the mad skillz you obviously have . right now, i'm just lucky enough to get two pieces of metal to stick together, let alone welding a car together, hahaha. _________________ 1974 Super Beetle: Custom resto in progress

I hope your garage floor is dead straight or when you go to drop that thing on a frame (tube or not) its going to be tough to fit it all together well.
Just my $0.02 worth. |
