1970 build

I have a 1970 beetle that im in the beginning stages of a baja build. Ive seen some pictures of some pretty tough outside mirrors, front and rear bars, and fender kits. im just wondering if anyone out there has any tips as to what kits to get and how to raise the bug enough

I'll throw my 2 cents in.... I have purchased several mark v baja kits and have been happy with their quality. www.markvfiberglass.com/
I also have done one each with chirco.com and mooreparts.com and they have nice fitting kits also.

Looks like nice kits. between the sites it looks like ive found most of the parts i want to get for the baja. Ive heared you can adjust the ride height by adjusting the tortion bars is there a certain procedure to this? also one more annoying question to a noob is is there any certain place to cut the front and rear aprons off to fit the new fiberglass pieces?

took the half tore down beetle out for a drive to give an off road before and after on the car and bent the crap out of the low hung front apron. Good thing its coming off. I do need a little help in that area though, is there anyone that knows where to cut the front and rear?
