redoing the top of my rail...???

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

That's a 902 Berrien buggy.
Sides are pretty short like Leaether mentioned.
Bottom frame rail doesn't mirror the top and is tucked in.
That reduces your cockpit area unfortunately.

I keep 1-1/2" .095 wall tubing in stock if you need any.
You are probably an hour from me.

Ok, you found me out I took the best "woods buggy" frame i could find and crossed it with the best "desert car" and came up with this :shock:
