was thinking of doing away with the running boards all together and filling the gap in the channels with foam or something. and painting over this. has anyone seen a beetle minus the running boards?

or have some pics?

cheers

firstly foam will hold water and your arse will be draggin on the ground due to a swiss cheese pan
secondly the car would look unfinished cos the end of the gaurds would be hanging out looking all whack !

r.boards are so old school, gotta love 'em !

i havent got any pics as no one does it.......

Hi

This another car that I have, it was done to this one in the late 70s with steel to increase rigidity.
