:)Darrin, First of all. THANK YOU for your SERVICE and be safe. I have a prostreet chassis and I am building a Type III Squareback. My chassis is currently a "roller" and I am in the process of "dummying" the engine/trans assembly right now. I can only say one thing about the chassis...GREAT!!! If I can help you with anything contact me. Tom U.S.A.F. 449th Bomb Wing (SAC) Vietnam Vet

Thanks Tom, Had a little problem with site couldnt reply to anything for awhile but working now.I cant wait to see frame myself,I am having it also complete roller,it will hopefully go together pretty quick once it arrives,only bad thing is a will have to depend on other people to do most of work .As long as I am driving it and playing with the Mustang Boys in my home town is the main thing.I did alot of talking with Bob about frame and have no worries about it.I didnt have time to do myself and wanted to have no problems on frame or chassie,I believe I will be able to run any combo or Hp I will want with it. And any pictures or advice would help out and stop alot of trial and error(expensive mistakes) haha Darrin

photobucket is at www.photobucket.com and once you get there ,just follow the instructions and register(it's free! ;D)..and after you get registered,you can "capture" ,for lack of a better word,practically anything you have on your 'puter to put on the 'net..it's been a while since I've downloaded any pix off of yahoo,but if I remember correctly,you can download a pic off of there and put it in a folder and use bucket to take it off of that folder from your 'puter and put it on the net..

Here is some pictures my frame guy sent me of my frame: Darrin, Here's some pictures I said I'd send to you. I decided to make a few changes to your frame while I was building it so your car would be different than everybody else's out there. The round tube chassis will save a bunch of weight and get you up to speed quicker. I figured I'd make it a little more compact for ease of driving and parking. Also, this design should greatly improve your gas mileage around town. I don't know how tall you are but if you let me know, I can make a few adjustments so you'll fit and feel more comfortable while you're cruisin' through your neighborhood or going to your local car shows. Let me know if this design works for you as I also build trailers in case you need to stop for materials at your local Home Depot or Albertson's or if you want to take a passenger with you while you're out getting some fresh air. Just email me if you have any questions or changes you need to make. Also, let me know if the pictures help you and your buddies out a little while you're over there. Bob Bob

V8superbeetle I told prostreetbugs about what you said about the difference in wheelbase of beetle and superbeetle and he said I could adjust the difference out in the 4 link,but then he said he would go ahead and add the difference for me.He told me some time back but I forgot to mention it.Thanks for the info Darrin

Darrin, I have used photobucket for almost 2yrs...when I started I was not PC compatible either...here's a easy trick I learned cuz if you let the PC determine where your pictures go, sometimes there hard to find...I have a folder on my desktop that has the title of any particular project...when you go to save pics from an e-mail, just select the desktop folder before pressing save, it will be the upper left box that will usually put any downloads into MY DOCUMENTS, so change it to DESKTOP...it will save the pic in a pdf on the desktop, then just drag the pic and place it in the new folder...then after you register on photobucket, on the top right of the screen it say UPLOAD IMAGES & VIDEOS FROM:, there is a choice below from, PC, web, mobile phone, e-mail or tool bar...select the computer icon and then select desktop, your new folder will be listed, click on your folder and your images will appear in number unless you edit a title...also download the bulk up loader, way easier to upload as many pictures at once, this saves a lot of time...hope this helps.

That's true, you could adjust the four-link but it he could build the extra .75" into the frame that would be better. IMO
