thanks so much for the input guys. after glancing over the standard and superbeetle hoods i did recognize the differences in shape and size more. i believe the 71 hood is the longest (front to back) of all the vw-beetles. also it seems to be wider toward the front slope. and the nose is definitly wider at the tip. this could be remedied by using the standard apron- however- i found out that the front fenders for the 71 might actually be slightly longer than the standard fenders. this would be due to the fact that vw decided to widen and lengthen the front of the car to able to lay the spare tire down, and accomodate the new strut-style suspension. i dont think it would be that hard to fabricate a custom mounting system for the struts, that way i could just use the one-piece front end. jjust need to weld cross-members between the struts and then back through the firewall and onto the pan somehow. or onto the body.
