I'll try to find where my project was located.
My property is about 15 miles from home, 4 miles of mountain dirt road, 4x4 required in Winter. I lived there 15 years, it's totally off the grid, so propane, solar, and wind provide the power. I have a Lincoln gas powered welder for those needs. Most tools are up there, our HOA will not allow car-building at the Residence. The "tractor shed" will be a dirt floor, but I have a flatbed trailer I can use for a level work surface.
The plan is to pull a female mold off the VW body, if it works out, and then build the true body shell from the mold.
