The Woody Wagon
One of our favorite building projects is the Woody Wagon, a classic recreation of a surfer's woody, built on a standard Volkswagen Beetle. The Woody has been featured in Popular Mechanics, as well as becoming a repeat feature in Hot VW'S Magazine, and there are a lot of these little Woodys in use from Florida to Hawaii. Project requires no welding or special tools and uses a premolded fibreglass hood kit available from several suppliers. A Bug from the early to mid-sixties is preferable, but anything but Super Beetles will work in a pinch. Makes a nice, tight little wagon, with lots of room; ours has been used for over ten years and 40K miles. Some full-size patterns.
There's now a fun Yahoo Group just for VW Woodies of all types! Pretty cool...
