Here is a link to the pic cause I couldn't get it to work for some reason. I love the look of this Bug. I realize it would take a lot of clean up under the hood to run without one but I like it. I may give it a shot, Any other pics of ones out there? Just trying to get some possible ideas. _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

Car is cool but I just don't like the look of no hood. I wouldn't do that to mine but -- It's your car & if you like it go right ahead & do it. _________________ Mic

I think the car in the picture is called Black Baron build by the radikalbugz in Belgium. They build crazy cool cars! _________________ My 1958 PGSG project topic |

I think your car is cool Rokus, but I was thinking about rear engine bugs and what to do with the empty space up front if you don't have a hood. _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

I like this and I have the grill to do it, I think it would be hard to make the when arch area look clean up front on a real bug. _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

Sixfoot, a few ideas.
1. make a hood that fits to the grill. Not sure why you want hoodless if there is nothing to show off.
2. put some kind of cool suspension in that area to show off.... like F1 suspension with remote mounted cantilevered shocks.
3. Fab a super cool fuel tank to cover the firewall and fill the area.
good luck |

I saw that drawing years ago and it just spoke to me. Not sure if I will really do it? _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

Yeah I know the foot area is way off, I just love the idea for some reason. _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.
