Hello everyone from the Peach state. I'm new to this forum and in the middle of middle of building a long body. I'd love to see any pictures of long bodies that you guys have.
Also is Texas Buggies still in business? I'm interested in getting a pair side pods from them.
Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the site. You could buy a set of short pods and modify them. Or start from scratch and make some racey looking ones. They dont have to look like everyone elses. If you were to come up with a viable solution to the long body pod dilema you come could sell 20 sets faster than you could pop them out. Some discussion on the Samba about that.

Thanks guys for the welcome. It must be bandit that has the long side pods. I've already bitten more than I can chew by cutting a short body in half and glassing it back together.
ckolek where did you get those awesome seats? I've pulled a set of front buckets from a 2003 PT cruiser that I'm planning to use. I got them from a LKQ salvage yard. $25 a piece. Haven't figured out a back seat yet. I've heard Jeep back seats fit.
