Has anyone ever done this? First off I have big hands and I no way can get my big paws inside enough on my 70 bug to change the plugs. I have the rear fenders off and looks to me a small rectangular door can be cut on the outside of the body under the fenders and be a easy way of changing plugs. After cutting a door fit a little larger one on and have it to where it snaps on and use weather stripping. Do you think this would work?

Sure it can.
Not having at least some electrical knockout spring plugs in holes for access to the Weber idle jets/screws can cause insanity, unless one is descended from a jellyfish.
Folks cut off the whole back end and reattach it with (mostly) Dzus fasteners, fenders and all. (I'm sure there is a how-to or at least a dozen examples here somewhere)
More extreme, just leave it off and you have a Baja.
Taken to the logical limit, you end up with a rail or an Ariel Atom, depending on taste and pocketbook

EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.
