This was very difficult. The boy's were not available to help. When doing this it goes so much better to have someone to assist you. It looks a bit hodgepodge but it will work great. I put at least 2 and up to 4 layers. This will add to how rigid it will be when I remove it to fiberglass the other side. It definitely is starting to look like a Morgan Beetle-back.

I was going to make my own suspension and then I started thinking I wanted to buy one. And then a friend at work suggested a corvette suspension. Here is a corvette front suspension. This is what I have decided to use. The one above is slightly modified, helping eliminate some of the weight. Cost is so much less then a new one and parts are all off the shelf. It is a great independent front suspension.

We thought we would test out the fit. Very roomy. Can't wait to start working on the frame so we can role it out of the garage.

Left side of the body.
We just completed the rear of the beatle back. This was difficult. I ended up doing it twice. We just got done sanding the rear and decided to take a few photo's.
