anyone interested in a oval baja

I was thinking of takeing the 56 oval I just got and making a baja out of it.
The rockers are in good shape but the car has lots of rust and the nose and
rear apron are real bad. Just the idea I can drop the body on a titled 69
chassis (IRS) and put the oval back on the road. If someone was interested with
this Idea I will start on it soon and have it road worthy in time to play in
the snow,

What do you think Shaggie, por 15 the surface rust, tye coat primer then a Camo
paint job?

And out of the 24 vws I got I'm going to try to put 4 other good drivers
together, theres a 65 bus a nice 65 beetle a 71 auto fast back and theres a 67
beetle that looks good

...............I wonder what it would take to get somebody in law enforcement
to run those 24 VIN's through their database and see how many of them are
hot?

Probably a 2 minute phone call.

Yeah, I usually call the state police to verify the car I am about to buy
isn't stolen or anything. Not always the most helpful, (State Police in KY)
but better than buying a stolen car!

I guess the question would be how are you gonna get the VINs?

Jay most of these cars have been setting in this well known mans field for the
last decade and he has given me a dozen titles most of them I have matched
with cars and as far as the law would be concerned if any of the cars were
stolen the statue of limitation is long passed.

In another group we have been talking about the idea of tring to get some of
these restorable VW's out of the junk yards where thier just rusting away.
It started as 30 aircooled cars setting in a field and a barn of parts and it
was all or nothing. I have already started the restoration on 2 of them,(bought
earlier in the year) and going to try to save atleast 4 more. As for the rest
there are alot of good parts and untill I see an upgrade in aftermarket parts I
see this as a good find.
I'm going to put original heater channels in the 67 vert I'm restoring.

give me a week or so Chris I know where I night be able to get you a rag
section. I did see one at the last farmington show for $400 thought it was to
much.
But no not in the 24 cars is there a rag, there is a metal sunroof in a 67 body
and only one set of early popouts and there mine...lol
I'm setting on 14 titled chassis and I'm still going thru a ton of parts, lots
of 40hp stuff some new all useable, this guy seemed to know what to keep.
things like excillent original 62 to 67 tail lights a nos exshaust real nice
heater boxes. and I haven't stated cleaning out his basement yet but I have
seen new p&c sets and more.

the 400 dollar range(such as the one at farmington) i would hope the ragtop is
intact and complete(canvas condition not important)
