I hope Your 71 model beetle isn't a 1302s Superbug

as you can't do anything with them...

the front suspension is attached to the body Not the chassis..

If by chance you have a 1971 model Non superbeetle

then it can be done...

but it has to go past an engineer..

maybe someone has a closeup pic of a rat rod...
