Do you plan on making yours street legal? I plan on rewiring mine, but I want to make it street legal. They have some kits on eBay for "hotrods", but I was looking for a less expensive way of doing the rewiring. Any advice will be appreciated.

I plan on making my bug street legal. I made my own wire harness because the wire was all free . A friend of mine used the original VW Harness to wire his V8 Bug.

V-8, would you sell a copy of the frame plans you came up with? I'm planning to build a v-8 bug in the future and want to start getting things together. Thanks Ron.

V8TOY,
Are you running stock width rear fenders on that bug or widened ones ? What's the width between the frame rails at the back to get those tyres under the arches ?
Cheers,
Si

In 2 weeks I will be starting the motor for the first time. Then I will begin the body work. I hope by next summer I will have it on the road.
Thanks Mike
