I can picture Carey cringing over thought that it might have been a Beck at one time. I like the T3 mid-engine mounting. Looks like Cory's sawzall paid it a visit!
Not a Beck. I've alerted S.E.
The steering box and wheel mounted in the middle of the beam along with the glassed over hood and door areas were initially suggesting this was maybe going to be a drag car. Then is saw the motor mounted midship- autocross or roadracer?
PS- I don't know who made them, but there are a few lightweight (no doors or hood) bodies around like that. Over the years a couple of drag racing speedsters have graced the pages of Hot VW's. I think Lloyd Mosher may have been involved in getting them made; he had the first one, iIrc. I don't remember those bodies being flared in the front, though. Al
PPSS- That paint scheme looks familiar....
ALB:
The paint scheme has churned up something in my memory as well, but I can't get a hold on it. You are right, it signals dragster/dragster project.
This would be a real test of "Glassing Skills"..... Looks like it was rear ended, front ended, and pranged at various angles..... The previous glass work looks like a crude hand lay up in places....
I doubt seriously if the Beck folks had any part of a single component on that thing.
Hmm, good start for a Suby motor/trans combo I think. Very rough! Looks like you could install a center mounted 911 rack and column with the double u-joint steering shaft. Cable shifter to Suby trans with 2wd mod. Add turbo and WHEEEEEE that thing would go, and maybe handle too!
I don't think that body was ever meant to be (or would ever survive) on the street. As I said earlier, it's for a race car; no doors, front hood or inner structure of any kind and probably pretty thin. Definitely not any of the mainstream Speedster manufacturer's efforts. If you want to build a VW drag car without the airstream penalty of a beetle shell, this would be a good way to go.
This is a thin wall pop up over thr frame body for a drag VW, like a funny car thingy.
I wouldn't touch that thing with a twenty-foot pole.
Nope. Not even to see if it was alive.
oh so sweet!! gr8t street car with a little work,chassie needs some work as does body. it does look kinda familur.( a little work to some is a lotta work to others)
Hi Guys
This looks like it could be one of the Mosher bodies as it looks very similar to the one i have
