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! :D

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... :lol:

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..:
