Monday we are taking delivery of a '74 Super Beetle. Yesterday he brought me his toy beetle that he wants made into a Switch Box for the bug. I gave it back to him today so he can color match it. Here's the pics of the switch box before paint & a pic of his beetle before its bagged



BEFORE



Shaved the bumper holes on the front & rear, shaved the driver side mirror & removed the rear mud flaps



SLAMMED THAT BITCH


Our Clearance Issues with the front end. Tie Rod bottoms out on body, no biggier..............Lower Control Arm bottoms out on Steering Linkage, BIGGIE. This is keeping the strut from bottoming out when fully deflated. It has like an Inch & A Half before it will bottom out



Front Lower Control Arms BEFORE


New bent sections of round bar that we will be welding in


Test fitting before we flip the tie rods. It has plenty of clearance now!!

kickass. but for all us beetle idiots, what is considered a "super" beetle?

A super beetle has the mcpherson strut set up as to a regular beetle has a beam type set up

If I remember correctly, suspension wise, the super beetle had struts up front as compared to the regular beetle front suspension...

Dan if I'm wrong please correct me.

supers have a completely different suspension setup then regular ones.

cool! keep us posted Dan, u seem to be always doing some different off the wall cool shit.
