I also love the flames on your dad's bug, and it looks like you have a pretty good body to start with for your project. Any chance you might want to share your project with us at the new V8 beetle group at www.v8beetleresource.com/forum Hey Matt it would be cool if you could join us too............ It would be nice to have at least 1 member with a finished car............. LOL

Looking good! That's a cool bug your dad has there. I'm sure you'll show him who's boss once you get yours done. Hopefully he doesn't sell his by the time you finish yours.

Awesome! I love seeing a bug body all cut up and ready to be mounted to a tube chassis with a v8. Can't wait to see this unfold.

Awesome! I wish I had lots of disposable income so I could build a volks rod with a v8 and a standard beetle with the fiberglass front clip.

I think that kid should call the law and report you for muggin a youngin, robbery, theft, and I'm sure I could come up with some more. ;D Super nice score, cheapest one I could find was $300 in Ca.
