| You
want to build a custom but you are not quite sure how to go about
it. OK, grab your tools, a Way-2-Fast, a Volkswagon Bug, and
lets get to work. First though a picture of what we are going
to build. |
 |
|
 |
Here
they are, Way-2-Fast and a VW Bug. For tools you will need a
Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel and a grinding wheel. You will
also need some tape, JB Weld(or any type epoxy bonding putty),
drill and small bit for drilling the rivets out of the bases.
Don't forget a small file and sand paper also. |
|
| Drill
out the rivets and take the cars apart. Don't drill through the
car into your hand because I can tell you from experience that
it isn't a happy feeling when you do. Don't lose the extra pieces
because you may want them for the next custom project you do. |
 |
|
 |
We
will be stretching the wheelbase so grind off the tabs holding
in the rear wheels. We will also need the firewall out of the
Way-2-Fast. |
|
| Now
take the front of the bug off leaving the window frame. |
 |
|
 |
Toss
the front into your pile of parts and pieces so you know where
they are if you need it for another project. If you don't have
a pile now don't worry. Once you get hooked you will need a box
just for parts and pieces. |
|
| OK,
clean out the back of the bug body and trim the back of the Way-2-Fast
chassis so that Bug body fits cleanly. |
 |
|
 |
To
make the wheels fit the wheel wells we need to mount the axle
under the chassis. Cut a groove for it where it looks right.
Also make sure the firewall fits right. If it doesn't do a little
grinding until it does. |
|
| Let's
set it all together to check for fit. It is looking pretty good
so far. |
