Hi, I recently bought a very nice body from what I beleive to be CMC. The fiberglass is very thick, and there is steel throughout the body that the fiberglass is riveted to. It is very solid feeling. Doors are already hinged and hung. Initially I didn't want to go the vw route. I know it sounds kinda crazy but I want to mount this body to a miata chassis, performance should be superior in every aspect. But this does mean going front engine rear wheel drive. I'm not sure about going this route because there will be a lot of fabrication which means more time I won't be actually driving the car. Also, I have my eye on a '73 beetle with irs and a dual port 1600 w clean title for 1300 obo. I need info on how much to shorten the pan, where to buy the parts Meredith to make it road worthy (tail lights, headlights, etc) and other tips/tricks for getting the build underway! The engine cover was not included so I'm going to have to figure out what to do for a replacement cover. Also I'd like to post pictures of the body but I'm not sure how, its a widebody 356 speedster. Thanks in advance
