Oh that looks so goooood.
I remember a panel van conversion from Wizard of Rods that could be had with a 40s Ford or Willys front on it. They also did a Willys coupe and a two seater convertible.
Think the 40s Ford front would really suit this woody.

My brother Steve, (Brock), has still got a Wizard Beetle Roadster tucked away somewhere. The first fully fibreglass bodied one, (earlier ones used 'glass panels bonded to the cut down original steel body). Built in the mid 90s. He rents several lock-up garages, put the Beetle into storage in one of them -& now can't remember where it is!

Very true,some times they just do these things to show what can be possable with a little imagination.
Which in turn help us home shed builders
