sam cat has the right idea
im in the process of rebuilding a 71' super and what im goin for is overall balance. its nice to have a light car if you want to go in a straight line, but fast cornering requires good balance and responce. im going to go with fiberglass fenders(wings) because they may be smashed somewere in the future, but would like to get my hands on a cf hood and engine cover, as well as a few other goodies.
my big concern is the roll cage. i would love to build one, but im concerned with time. i'v heard that the beetles arn't to freindly with the body roll, and having stripped one, i can see were the weaknesses lie. i'v already made up 1X1 bar stock to fit in the channel where the body mounts to the floor pan, so i will have a solid mounting point for a cage, if i weld on some bracketry.
too many ideas. too many beers. cheers.
