Seeking Blueprints for 1971 Superbug chassis
A customer brought a bare '71 VW "superbug" pan, wheels etc, and 4-speed
into the shop (no motor, no body etc), and wants the pan detailed so he can bolt his own stuff on top of it. He's willing to pay for a week of my time to go out there with a tape measure and calipers and stuff and actually characterize the thing, but it occurred to me - there _must_ be a blueprint of the significant dimensions somewhere - didn't they make millions of them? I'd be happy to charge this guy for a week's worth of NRE, but I'd feel like I was ripping the guy off, if he could just get one from VW itself or something for a lot less money than it would cost him to have me draw it. Of course, the PHB is way happy that the customer accepted my estimate; it's not an insignificant amount of money, and he told me to go ahead and search out a print, and we can just bill the customer for what time it takes me to find an existing one. Hope that makes sense. Also, I apologize in advance if this is an inappropriate crosspost - I went and looked at r.a.vw, and there's nothing but old spams, so I thought I'd shotgun it. If you do have an answer, I'd appreciate at least one crosspost (so I'll catch it), maybe with your followups set to your "home" group. :-) Thanks, Rich |
