Hi
Anyone know of any diags or plans to show where to cut the extra windows to turn an 11 window bus to a 23 window samba ! Just another of my crazy ideas ! Thought I could make the top windows out of acrylic. Rich |

I'd look for a wrecked 21 windo and graft the roof. I would not even attempt
to cut new holes in the roof.

I wouldnt want to do that !
a: I am in the uk -- If there was a wrecked samba it would still be worth resoring and so worth more that the roof ! b: I cant forsee any dificulty in cutting a few holes in the roof - Might even put a ragtop in too ! I will prob get around to trying it in the new year, although I have 4 bugs and 3 busses that need attention so this might be wishfull thinking :-) Gives me time to try and find more info anyway.

Ever seen the underside of a 21 or 23 window? The windows and ragtop are all braced, they are not just holes in the sheet metal. Why not hunt around for the real thing instead of destroying yet another Bus. --Dan E |
