oh yeah im liking this one its what ive been waiting for im saving now are you putting mounting holes for the shell onit as well no more tub be nice if you could make it so standard beetle mount holes on the sills are used top top work as expected genius

 

[roofchopper]

hi cheers mateees, the cage will be a tight fit to the shell so side mount or sill mount would be possible,

 

[roofchopper]

on the rear gonna run the rose joints verticle instead of flat so they pivit better,
does any body know how many lengh dogbones fg make

 

[renbar]
