Interesting subject...My brother who is a fabriacator and long time VW fan bought a trashed buggy with the VW pan and fiberglass body. After a year he has a street legal fiberglass covered tube chasis like the rail at the begining of this post that is covered by the original fiberglass body. He has extended the suspension and has up to 14" of travel out back. He can drive it to the sand on the road, use his turning brakes, catch some air and dirve it home. Pretty neat setup.
