Chevy powered VW Squareback

Here are a few pics of my current build. It is a tube chassis, sbc 350/330 horse, Mustang II front suspension, 700R4 trans with a narrowed 9" Ford 4 bar triangulated rear. Oughta be fun when I'm finished.

That will make a sweet little V-Dub!

Oh I'll be watching this build, looks like a rocket to me!

I love the old squarebacks, I never had a type 3, but I had a type 4 that I loved, two door wagons need to make a comeback... [cl

Thanks. Out to be a good little "grocery getter" for my wife. Just a few weeks ago, I built a shed in my back yard and moved all, non car items out there from my garage. Then I installed A/C in my garage, so now I'm ready to roll again.

That thing won't even be able to get out of its own way!!!

Much like I tell my old lady, its for her..... [ddd

Your going to have fun with that one!! Good luck with the build.

Those square backs are pretty neat wit the mods you're doin it'll get ya there in a hurry too

Good to see you still working on the project! I've seen your car on several boards and it is one top notch project.

I cut up a lot of these working in wrecking yards back in the '70s, but not like this! Very cool build.

Very nice ride....I have one going together except its a 66 bug, built the frame with a trailing arm suspension and coil overs and the Beam VW front suspension. the power will be a 200 hp Toyota 22r with a 5 speed.never posted because didn't think anyone would be interested.
your car is really going to look cool, and I'll bet run like crazy....have fun

We might just have to get a VW Rod section added to this site! Rat Rods and Crazy VW projects seam to go together.

That will be a beast! [dr Ought to do the rear fenders in wood!

nice

i like it[cl

there is a 1960 bug in longview, washington, with a 400HP LS 1 in it, front engine, RWD.

I really would not call myself talented. I am slow, but I am trying to do it right the first time. I am 66 years young and want to get it done so I can drive it for awhile.

looking good! I had one of those that I had stroked and poked with a V.W motor many years ago, it sure suprised a bunch of those that thought it was ugly. I have a saying that my uncle tought me when I was young "anything that ugly has to be fast". It was both...[P

Neat ride

I bought one of those brand new and drove the heck out of it for years..Had duel carbs which were a bitch to keep in tune but it had a gasoline heater which was great for the pacific northwest..Will keep an eye on this one I always thought it would be a kick to do one like you are...
