Your KILLIN ME! With a .22 rifle! For me, laying out, cutting and welding would be the easy non-expensive part of "chopping"...Getting the glass to fit would be the nightmare, "for me"...Ive been a union Ironworker/welder for 35 years...I replaced both rocker panels, cab corners, both floor pans, two inner fenders and the right fender...Oh, I rebuilt the radiator core support and battery tray as well. My motto is "no bondo"...Dont you even dream of selling that truck unless you contact me first! Please! That VW looks damn good! Loose the hood and some sheet metal up front,replace it with a little small block. Throw a short axled S-10 rear end under it and "BOOM!" You got rippin little rat rod that looks like a Chopped 52 Chevy pick-up!
