Well, you are not alone brother. I built my volksrod much less radical than you are planning.
But I think it should be really cool, what are you planning for front suspension, and im guessing you are familiar with volksrods.com

Im going to use a '40 Ford front axle with split wisbones, quarter elliptic springs and a disc brake conversion on the Ford spindles. Yes, I have gotten alot of ideas from cars on volksrod.com

Thanks for the pics. It gives me another magazine to search for. My back fenders will be radiused big enough to fit a 30"-31" tire. I wont have front fenders. I will post some construction pics in the next couple days. Too bad they didnt use a Hemi in the Durachrome bug.
