any1 ever built like a play toy/ dd out of one of these?
thought itd be cool.
did some of them come 4wd or no
no 4wd's i had one for a while, got it as a wiring mess, had to re wire the whole thing. Had 31'' baja claws on it took it to the mounds, it got around pretty good. that had the 1757cc ?? kit was a ripper ;D
near here there is one on a 4x4 frame and v8 kinda cool look on you tube under moyie and you should find somthing, stock there duning freaks
I had a bug body on a ford falcon chassis with a 289, it was pretty cool. Had to make a subframe, it was a little bit floppy - kept comin apart so eventually scrapped it..
my step dad builds sand rails they r sweet
heres one with me driving!
go with a fiberglass tub, exact same thing as a beetle but 800 lbs lighter. mine will go anywhere a truck on 35s will go all day long
there light, cheap, easy to work on, simple man, they ran the same platform from 1939 to 1988 when they stopped making them in mexico
