I tore apart my old bug to build my new one here is what i have done in the last 2 days







that was all day 1 pics day 2 it is almost all welded except for the floor that needs to be done and the pickup bed needs to be welded on the steering wheel is done and more supports were added new pics to follow next weekend

your moving along good. I keep on modifying my build, maybe I will start making head way soon.

well so far i know what i want to do and have 3 great people helping me as well

thats alot in 1 day! Nice job. Let me know how the hole thing goes. I want to build one of these frames. My old 1985 frame is well past warn out.

Its fairly simple if you have a few people to help you and the tools to get the job done righ!! sat i spent a total of about 8 hours cut my old frame off took the motor out set the rear end up set the fontend up and started tack welding piece by piece sunday we finished by welding it all togther now all i have to do is odds and ends and then the frame will be done as far as welding it togther plus i have to get the pick up bed as well it also helps when you have 1 already built that you can swap parts everything im useing is off my old bug except for the shifter im thinkin about switching that i dont like the bug pack shifter im thinkin scat dragfast what do yall think

Ive always used a Scat shifter and have never had any problems.Gene Berg shifters are supposedly the best,i dont know because they cost $250-300.

yeah from what i hear the dragfast scat is the way to go for the money so thats probably what im gonna go with

Any more pics? This is really giving me motivation to start mine now! lol

unfourtnetly not at this time the only time that i get to work on it is on the weekends and i have to drive to ohio to do it im in the military and stationed at fort campbell my fatherinlaws garage is in ohio so i go up there and work on it ! The whole month of march i will be in louisiana for training for are deployment to afgahanastan so this will probably be my last weekend to work on it since next weekend i leave for louisiana so its balls to the wwall this weekend hopefully it will be near completion so i can have all of april and may before i deploy to ride

You need to request some time in the rails they deployed there. Those are badass.....

Ok so been awhile but finally almost done by this Sun should be done just need to wire it up and run the brake lines that's about it its been a long process since i was in Louisiana all of march And a lily of this month and weekends are all i get to work on it

lookin good but you need to add bars on the front bottom bars like you did the top from the center to right behind the lower clamps if you dont the frame will bend there becouse its a weak point been there done that no fun

I did that actually there are 4 bars two that run up to the top of the dash and 2 go to the front bottom bars the pics were last week right before i left ohio and my brother in law welded them for me on thurs i only get weekends to work on it and not every weekend this weekend it should be done though not to much left

you are kicken but i like that frame with the truck bed

Thanks I like this frame as well surprisingly i have more room than i thought i would i can acttally sit in the back not that this would ever happen
