That looks great! It's kind of funny seeing it in real life though as I Photoshopped a similar version about three years ago.

if you want a 69 Fargo just go and buy one, then post pictures on the Fargo forums. that is just wrong, wrong, wrong, comepletely wrong.
Vanagon is the epitome of VW Bus/Van design. Don't wreck it.
Amazing craftsmanship, but misdirected. _________________ Tencentlife said,

No, this is the real thing. this is a utility vehicle with raw power and speed. It is refinement while remaining true to the original. It is not a George Barris show car. _________________ Tencentlife said,

That thing is nuts in really kind-of funky way. I don't know what else to say. Fun to look at if hold your fingers up to the screen in different ways...It's like a rubix-cube van! |

Amazing well done!
Yeah. the sliding still works! That must be weird to see.
In many ways, it's better than the original.
I am too fan of the back angle.
I see he reused many original parts. Like the back window.
One of the best looking Doka.
