Interesting, you seem to be the only one with this problem.
By way of diagnosis:
Two ways of looking at the album on flickr
There were some VW utility/work vans that had doors on both sides. I've seen
them for sale on Samba.com

Did he really put a second set of side doors on it? IIRC, my VW Bus only had
the doors on the right side.

True enough. In fact, conventional dragsters are engineered to break just in
front of the engine in a collision. Plus, weight transfer is accomplished via
the chassis bowing. This guy is riding on the wrong and very dangerous end of
the machine.

They don't bother about that with airliners or modern locomotives.
Better in steam days.

A quarter mile at a time is way too much if it doesn’t have a steel space frame
and roll cage. Accelerating from a standstill with some 800 horsepower and
grippy slicks will twist a stock frame like a pretzel.
Figures the dragster is his as well. Another killer. A front driver position in
that

It's a fairly rare model with doors on both sides. I think they made
that one for his mom.

One thing for sure: You're going to need earplugs to drive it. That thin little
wall and clear glass dividing you from that engine is not going to keep

I wonder what sort of frame this vehicle rests on. I don’t see a lot of
structural tubing. Probably a death trap.
I don't remember. It used to be up on a lift, I don't think I ever got
any photos of the underside.

Yeah, that would work well. I haven't seen that in SA yet. The popular
conversion here is the Ford 3L Big Six. The converted buses are mostly
used as towing vehicles but very heavy on fuel.

When I was in college I worked for a summer at the Boardwalk in Santa
Cruz. A 12 year old had a job picking up trash on the beach, and told
me about his (father's) VW bus that would do 120MPH, in the quarter
mile. My reaction was to think "yeah, I was 12 once too".
