HOPEFULLY SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME. I HAVE RECENTLY SEEN A BUG TURNED INTO WHAT LOOKS LIKE A 40 FORD WOODY SEDAN DELIVERY. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A KIT FOR THIS......OR SOMEONE WHO HAS ONE OF THESE FOR SALE IN ANY KIND OF SHAPE?
THANK YOU

I have one that I use as a daily driver
. The hoods are not easy to find but the wood body can be made with some skill with tools. The plans on the above post are the ones I used. There are two site at the yahoo groups about the VW woodies that you can check out.

I started one....
Took a bit to find the WonderBug hood ($125)...
My best suggestion would be to find someone who already has one for sale... they're dogs to move... I watched one in BC Canada for a year go from $4k to $1k... and probably is still for sale.
I believe BGW Spectre still will cast the hoods if you beg them and send $750
They're very cool rides --- biggest issues I've found working on a few are cooling and shoddy wood working skills.
I'd love to finish a woody --- still looking for a retired cabinet maker who'd love a challenge.
