Hi, aerohead. You're one of my favorite peeps from my lurking days. I'm looking forward to being mocked by Frank Lee. When you were building that 1970 VW Type II, I was drawing this:



Mexico is full of 2nd-hand VW floorpans. Non-VW replacement floorpans were available in the 60's. One could make one's own in a garage following this lead:

Autospeed from 2010

I like the Beetle's construction for it's modularity: stock engine and stock body with composite floorpan--or the other way around, or both, or neither.

Did anyone here recognize, or even see, the link to Local Motors?
