youcould get a I beam front end from a rod shop.

Its not the I-beam thats the problem.... Its the mounting of it to your bug!.... Thats what this kit does.... Like the SoCal kits (V1 & V2), but this one has the hairpins in closer to the body which gives a better turning radious....

hmmm....dream....wish my wife would let me go this way with the oval. She hate's the whole fenderless thing unfortunately. Guess the only way I'll own one is by getting a tat as a tribute to the hotrod beetle!

LOL!.... I can understand her stance on it.... To the layman, it looks just plain weird!... Maybe if you could get her a ride in a fenderless car she might get it..... Its a shame Reub.... A phat rod parked next to the VWRX would make one hell of a garage scene!
