hi Im new on here and just picked up my 71 beetle yesterday and I am building it into a volksrod and I was just wondering if anyone can tell me how to extened the front beam. I seen the ones you can bolt on but where do you buy them from Can anyone help?

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...
