Now that the chassis and floor pan of Nate's Baja Bug has been painted, Nate couldn't wait to begin the assembly, this is truly his favorite part.

Sam and Nate tie up a few loose ends to get Nate's Baja Bug ready for paint. The chassis and floor pans get painted and ready for reassembly.

Sam and Nate install an EMPI 6 point "show" cage, getting this Baja Bug one step closer to being drivable.

Two of the bars for the subframe are in the way of the back two exhaust pipes so Sam & Nate have to go back in and redesign it.

Sam spends an afternoon getting the mounting point braced on both sides of the shock. This is called a double sheared mount, where both sides of the shock are supported and strong.

Floor pans are one of the biggest rust issues with any old Beetle and Nate's 1972 Beetle was not an exception. Follow along as Sam and Nathan get to work replacing them.

Sam & Nate get stock replacement Bilstein shocks installed in the rear of Nate's 1972 VW Baja Bug.

Sam & Nate continue work on this 1972 Baja Bug. This rear subframe will help support the rear of the chassis and will give the "show cage" a place to tie in to the chassis.

Sam & Nate are back at work on the rear trailing arms. They get the arms and the spring plates set up to clear the torsion housing for more suspension travel.

The chassis work continues with parking brakes, Sam and Nate team up on making custom tabs, brackets and even customize a couple of bolts.
