Will Super beetles chassis work for buggy?

nybugguy

I am about to take on another build and found what I believe to be an early 70's tuff tubb body.It's a 4 seater so cutting the tunnel and shortening won't be needed. Is it true from what other bug guys are telling me that a super beetle won't accept a fiberglass body because of the coilover/struts? I haven't been able to find a standard beetle but the supers are quite plentiful.
Really need to know the truth before I go any further..thanks for any feedback people!

You will need the standard beetle. The people you talked to are correct on the struts.

You can swap out the framehead if your capable or have the $$ to pay someone to do it.

Pete at a-arm.com will sell you a new front suspension setup that works great on the SB pan

A friend has a super beetle pan under his glass buggy, just swap out the frame head and install a standard beam.
