Thanks!
(I still haven't finished it...)
I'd love to see your project!
I never get bored with the Baja stuff, they seem to have infinite possibilities.

I might be able to arrange that...I'll try to get pics tomorrow.
I think the M chassis might be a bit narrow for this type of body, but anything's possible!

Great job!
Thanks!
I think I have some sort of compulsive classic VW disorder...(I'm doing my best to cut back.)
This was just another excuse to recycle a bunch of parts...

thanks from what i can figure out the front is good and the rear sits in 1/2" per side .. i know i can use diffrent offsets but i want to keep it as is for now

I had to temporarily rob the body from the Monster Beetle (the Ultima's 2 piece was too tricky to get to sit right on the M-chassis)
The front looks good with the different offset wheels, but you'd want to find a fatter rear tire combo for the rear...it's a bit skinny looking w/baja fenders.
Here ya go..:
