Anyboby here ever combine a vw beetle and a jeep?? I may be starting one soon and would appreciate any input. Thanks :D
 

Just cause you can doesn't mean you should:) j/k good luck with that project!
 
What parts of each do you plan on using? Seen just about everything done with a bug from 4x4 to big blocks to engines front and rear (at the same time).
 
I recently saw one in a parking lot in Chico, California. It looked awesome. From what I could see, it was a VW body set on a Jeep frame and running gear. The fit was much better than I thought would be possible.

Sounds like a fun interesting build , would love to see what your starting from , never even thought about that combo before !
 
I'm planning on starting it in the next few weeks.I've got a CJ7 frame and axles and a 78 VW superbeetle so far. I'll post some pics asap.Thanks 8)
 

Found you some inspiration. This is from a local ride. Didn't actually see anyone drive it but looks kinda neat.

I saw a guy wheeling a '78 CJ-7 with a old VW Beetle body on it the last time I was at Rausch Creek. Looked interesting...turned a lot of heads, that's for sure. So anyway, I guess I'm just saying I've seen proof that it has been done before, and it is possible.
 
It's an RC car but it's still cool...

Not sure where I found the other one but I thought it was pretty funny.

Wasn't one it was for sale. Tried to find it again but couldn't but it had rocks, a sbc and he wanted a small fortune for it. And I too would wheel the crap out of it.
