Yeah, I believe with the look that I am going for the two hump roll bar would look great. Like I said earlier, Im not going to race it, just want to cruize and leave a few ricers at the lights.

Plus, just for some info...have you looked at wazabug's build page on volksrods.com? His whole build is in the new members page, and man is he a master fabricator to put it mildly!!! I got a lot of great ideas off him for my project. The rear end is just sick with the spiderweb design. You will have to check it out. Definately worth your time although it is very long.

Well, I finished welding all my fenders tonight. Now time to grind and bondo. I like the width of it now. I would like to do something new with the taillights though. I like how the wazabug used some old buick taillights. Just want to be different. ;D

That sucks when a bolt breaks! The fenders are looking good! I wouldn't worry too much about the engine at this stage. Mine was nice and purdy looking and it got all nasty just from working on other areas of the car. You can always touch it up later. Keep em coming!

Yeah, Ill just clean it up later. Thanks on the fenders. It definately takes a long time to weld all that in as you should know. But I think it is worth it and its all metal not fiberglass.

That's true! It's harder doing the late model fenders too! Although, I did give in and bought fiberglass fenders. Not cause the ones I made didn't work. It's cause when I change rim types the tires where rubbing the fenders. I didn't want to rewiden them cause it was A LOT of work.
Keep it up. Looking good!

Hey Matt, I have been looking at a lot of posts on here and it appears that you are the photo shop king. Any way i could con you into doing some for me? Two pictures up is one Ide like to do. Don't know how it would turn out with the different color fenders and junk on the trunk but worth a try. I like a deep blue and silver concept and just whatever your mind can come up with. If not Its cool, just wondering. Thanks.

Great!!! So glad I could help. How do you think you will make it work with the fiberglass fenders? You could just build them like mine and weld them to the frame underneath but just bolt them to the fenders. Wouldn't be too hard to do it that way either. Your bug looks good by the way, I like the fat wheels in the rear and the color. Good luck.
