Construction Day 8

Postby ALAN GEDDES » Sat May 01, 2004 6:28 pm

:D Interior all built ready to stain and install flooring. Roof insulation in and ready to cover. Rear suspension from Chevy Cavalier at Junk yard tire to tire $85. Perfect drop axle with 48 inch spread. Springs and parts at boat dealer another $39. A trip to the steel yard Monday and frame should be a total of about $220. Going to try and modify some VW Bug fenders so they match my Bug. Have a set laying around with tail lights. Hope to have on the road well before the end of the month. AL G

Jim, An aftermarket VW bumper is available at cip1.com It is a BRIZ ribbed aluminum, very Model A/retro look. PN ACC-C10-1140. If I remember to do it I will fit a set of bumpers to trailer to figure out which fits better (front or rear). AL G
