That would actually be pretty cool if they had rounded off some of the edges! Looks better than most of the volksrods out there. |

Not sure about that tree growing out of the front, other than that it's OK...

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

I'd have put a non-fatchick front apron & hood on it too. But leave the fatchick c-pillar vents alone. I love this car!!! |
I'd roll it as is! |

Is this an attempt to confuse and enrage people? 
Any more info, is it a push-me-pull-you or a can't-tell-if-it's-coming-or-going type car?

Photo-chop!  |
Lol, NO. There's a build thread on this. Glad to see he painted it. There's a few choices I wouldn't have made on it but, it's nicer than most.
It's funny when something isn't photoshopped and people scream photoshop but, when something is clearly photoshopped people think it's real... |
Sorry but the back perspective and the wheel sizes look wrong to me so I thought it was photoshop, still hard to believe for me |

I really love this thing It's just roadsters don't work well in MN. I would snatch it up and throw in a type 3 engine... actually get a working bed
Only issues I have with it is this
tailgate doesn't fold down. 
I like it. I hope it gets finished...

Trucks need type 3 engines so that you can actually have a useful load floor. That thing rocks.
