Hi Artcarcom,

nice truck... excellent workmanship.. well done. Did you eventually have to raise the body from the chassis to allow for rear wheel travel?
Ive just started a beavertail build.... trying to keep costs to a minimum... then if this works out ok maybe a Mk6??

You can see it here...

hi mack my mk5 5 smiley i just made a 2x1 subframe flat and put 2x2 crossovers on but mark 6 different suspension set up when smiley bottomed out it was level with top of chassis so extra 2 inch perfect but mark 6 wheels are nearly level with chassis so had to make it 4 inch bed but spot on very happy with angle and the way it travels when loaded just bought a 2005 mk6 but desided just sell and look for mk7 thankyou for reading tread and hope you get some ideas and watch for my mk 7 build Alan
