just looked up 'kudos' did not know what it meant!

THANKS

thanks HOTRODVW, I had to take pics between each process cause explaining and showing pics is completely different, so easy to see whats going on when you have pictures, I not posting any pics here cause it is tedious, takes time, I just upload on flickr, all original size and you can see it zoomed ...

well the pics of the VW, the re-re one and the vintage ones are all on my flickr account, along with mods, carbon fiber parts, shock restorations, machining of the gear head 5 slotted wheels etc https://www.flickr.com/photos/110872915@N05/20957841292/in/dateposted-public/ check it out And check out ...

You not thinking of putting them the body-rear end? Or maybe put different lights but sitting on the rear fender You have very good suspension clearance and those cut rears sure look good from the back! I just went all out and cut them, figured even a cut fender is still going to limit suspension tr...

WHER EYOU GONNA PUT THE TAIL LIGHTS WITH THE FENDERS CUT SHORT??

ok, yeah, the fronts will curve backward during compression. It resembles the real Baja bugs! its cool, you gonna put fog lights infront? And I did not notice your custom rear fenders, nicely done

you see how the front tires are way out in front, thats why I cut my chassis short, but if you keep the body high enough, it will clear suspension travel and look alright on the chassis

ha - last yr I saw in the completed listings sections, a NIP vintage body, parts still in the tree go for $115!!!!! I said holy *#? man what luck, the buyer must have been jumping up and down at the score he just made, WOW. I am glade I got a vintage body, nose and rear plate hood for $90, the rest,...

that is what I did exactly, love the VW bug, if I was to put a body to this beautiful chassis it would be the beetle body and not just any body - tamiya SS body - it is not like the pretend - wannabe beetle lexan bodies out there, don't get me wrong, those are great for performance racing but for lo...

very nice, the 2014 re-re is just as nice as the vintage one, can't complain about the tub, I love the red one. Glad you love the wheels!

FO A MOMENT I WAS STOKED! :shock: - Thought it was my bug :mrgreen: It is WAY COOL! Can we see the insides, please? I wanna see what you got there. I had to cut the chassis short at the rear bu 1.5cm and cut short the fronts to make the SBB body fit. will do a carbon fiber bumper soon. Very rewardin...

How rare are these?

Phin also had a great idea of a 4x4 system where you just use a second gearbox in front, same assualt gearboxs - they have a bevel gear so the 2 gearboxes can be linked via a straight shaft to transfer same rpm, the rear gearbox can have a spur gear on the other end of the bevel gear shaft and power...

THANKS GoMachV, Mono shock on any ride is cool looking. Yeah doing a 4X4 scorp, totally up for it, TIME TUNNEL 2 has a 4x4 beetle, check it out but I would rather have the duel trailing arm setup in the picture shown here, chain or belt drive is the easiest way to go
