If I can't carry groceries.

Then I can't eat.

Then I'll lose weight.

Then I'll go faster.


It all makes sense, doesn't it......:silly:

I don't feel like spending that much money on the front end.

I just don't like doing bodywork.:p

I think just about everyoen would agree with you on that one genius. But then again I like body work, as long as I dont have to reshape any metal, like panels and such.......:D




John

Brendan, what year is your bug>?

There is a 69 Beetle over here with good body panels for $200.
Maybe we could split the cost. You can have the body & Ill take the pan.

Whatdya think?

Do anyone knows who does lexan windows for bugs/SB?

aircooled.net sells them I believe.

Go to the hardware store and make your own like me.

I don't think I want the body since I already replaced the heater channels and the wheel wells and the front body pillars. I have a new front clip from mexico but I'm afraid of welding it on crooked. I had a shop work on the rest of the body for 65 hours to get it to its present condition. Road salt got the best of my car since it spent some time in NC before I bought it. Ironicly my beetle is a 1969. It was made in december 1968 so it just turned 35 years old this month.:cake: How complete is the car. Does it have seats? I may not want the body but I may want some other parts. :)

Can you bend the plexi-glass to make the rear and front curved windows.:confused:

yes to the rear. illegal and unsafe (for street use) in the front. plus they scratch easy.

Thanks, thats good to know. What kind of weight savings are we talking about by using lexan windows.:confused: Will they work with pop-out rear windows.:confused:

Lexan is a little harder then plexiglass. I used 1/8" or 3/16" and it will flex for the rear window easily. Plexiglass is usually stiffer and crack prone. Lexan has a scratch resistant UV outer coating. About $30 for 3x4' .

also the stock window is 5 pounds or so and lexan is a few ounces. good weight savings. My pop outs are lexan.

What hardware store?

home depot?

Lowes?

Ace?

Scotty's?


What section of the store was it in. I get lost in Home Depot.:silly:
