top work! top car!
i love the idea of a hotrod bug.
do you have any more pics of the extension for the front? did you make it yourself? how many inches/cm extension does it give you?
i'm hoping to build something quite similar so any info greatly appreciated.
good to know it can all be made legal too! (what state are you in? it's probably different in each state...)
cheers

Sweet job. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Check the 50's Fair thread which is on in a few weeks time.

This rod is an awesome bit of work. Had the debate with the rod nut at work about the virtues of beetle rods.
Once I described all the features that have gone in to this volksrod, he was pretty damn impressed.
Love to see it down for summernats next year to blow away some awards.
I hope to be able to something similar but different in the not so distant future.
Excellent work

Hey stoppa.... What have you hooked the 'hairpins' up to?
