I have been customizing diecast cars for well over 10 years & here are the VW's I have done, for everyone to checkout. I will keep posting up the pics of all my VW customs on this post. I hope you enjoy them. Very Happy

The first one I wanted to show off was from my 2nd wave of Anniversary cars that commemorated my 10th year in customizing diecast cars. This one is the HotWheels VW Drag Truck. Cool

This is one I did awhile back. It's a Paul's Model Art Beetle in 1/43 scale that was disassembled, the paint stripped off and the body plated in 14 carat gold. It was then painted in translucent red with custom wheels added to create a redline Hotwheel split window VW in 1/43 scale.
