Yes, much progress is being made. Nice jig to line up the chassis while it is being shortened. That should help when you do more of them "down the road". Thanks for the update. Tom

Topic : Tom & Kathleens S2 chassis

And so it begins. This is the start of a "high tech but retro looking dune buggy". The new Manx Kick-Out SS body style is the basis for that style. This car will end up in Connecticut where we live as a street buggy. I aslo hope to add a lot of street rod style tricks to this ride. The body is on the waiting list while Bruce Meyers does some hood improvements because he didn't like the way the molded in headlights came out. I asked for an early (1971 - 1972) chassis because we have a lot of criuse nights & car shows on the east coast with a 1972 cut-off. And Kevin delivers just what I need. Thanks! Tom

What is this????

Mendeola has a bug under construction (for a fortunate guy)??

We've been telling you the S2 T1 chassis was coming and now it's getting introduced in a BIG way.

Mendeola Signature Motors is building the ultimate "SLEEPER". Without giving out too many details we are going to build a period correct looking Cal-bug from the 60's with a twist of modern techknowledgy that will leave even the most harden sports car guys in turn number one. We already know that our S2 chassis under a Manxter will pull over a full lateral "G" on a 100 foot skid pad. A new Porsche can only pull .78 lat. "G". With our Five speed Mendeola transaxle and limmited slip Quafe style diff under a beetle, throw in a Chicho Performance turbo 2.3L and you have a Sleeper that will wake up anybody behind the wheel of the car in the other lane.

Thats it for now check back for updates.......

Here is the begining pictures of an S2 chassis that is going to be built with a stock lenth rear arm and will be shorted in the near future to fit under a Meyer's Kick Out SS... What a fun ride this will be....

Topic : S2 Chassis under a Type 1

Anybody care to discuss thoughts on whether the build cost for a Type 1 on the S2 Chassis is worth it? I am intrigued by the thought of actually taking my bug around a corner at "normal" speeds, driving at 70 and feeling safe about it.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Tim
