I started a thread a few months ago. The machine shop I was working with is having problems finding the time to do the work. The owner is great, he just got hit with loosing a couple of key employees and has been working 7 days a week for several months.
It will be a scratch build. My brother just retired from a job welding at a local Navy weapons station. He has welded steel, aluminum, titanium, stainless. He even repaired compressor blades for the Naval Air Rewrok facility in Norfolk.
I already have the ball joint VW front axle, a harley transmission, and a 420 CC 9 HP Honda diesel engine with only a couple of hours on it. Going to make the front end fit a 71 VW super Beetle windshield. Tubular exoskeleton with hand hammered sheet metal panels welded between the tubing.
