welcome to chr.

Sorry I had organized my photobucket. I'll fix my pictures. Its a 64 vw notchback 1500s. I'm not putting a v8 into it which would fit in here quite a bit more but rather a turbo vr6 motor. Its a 2.8l narrow angle (15*) v6. Not much in displacement but it will get the job done with a motor I understand and help keep the car a bit more balanced as i'd still like to autocross it from time to time. Haven't really decided as to how I am going to build the frame yet. My biggest challenge will be adapting my transmission to the engine. After that i'll start working out the rest of the details. I've got alot of reading and brain picking to do still as well. This will be my first real rwd project let alone chassis fab project. I am an engineering student and work full time as an industrial maint tech. So welding and fabricatiing are some things that I do on a daily basis.

Thanks for the greetings. What year is your square? How far along are you?
