Thanks guys....yes it's an older kit from the early 70's, it was just a white gelcoat body on a 73 super beetle chassis when I got it a year ago. Chassis has drop pans..lowered...and disc brakes.....strip transaxle/2165 stroker with dual 45 dell's....interior is still in the works but I will post picts of it when complete....probably within the next month, I'm trying to get it ready for this summers car shows. 1000 watt stereo system with dual 10inch subs and four infinity 6x9's.....sounds amazing in such a little confined area. Full color backup camera system, and my friend and I custom built the rear wing(these cars never came with wings) This body shell is also a 1973.....Technically it's a "Manta" built "Montage" body...this one was #7 out of the molds.....all hand laid fiberglass ..1/4inch thick......no chopper gun work what-so-ever. It's quite the head turner too
