JBugs - 1971 VW Super Beetle - Rear Apron Tail Pipe Modification

View our complete selection of air-cooled VW parts on the JBugs website: www.jbugs.com/
Modifying the rear apron of a VW Beetle usually involves welding up or “shaving” the tail pipe openings. We’re going in a different direction though and we’re going to make the tail pipe openings in our 1971 Super Beetle a little larger and we’re going to give them a custom flare as well. This will enable our slightly modified 2 Tip GT exhaust to clear the apron without any problems. Watch and learn how easy some custom body modifications can be.

You can see that smile when he's talking about how great it looks

Woo hoo, We're getting closer to a full view of the painted body!

The ends flaring out over the exhaust look so sexy. Amazing work.
