Greetings,
That's pronounced "be ugly".......
Before somebody goes off about destroying a VW to make this, let me tell you that I destroyed TWO cars to make this......
Well, actually, they were both totaled in accidents, one in front and one in back - so I was er ah... recyclin' - YEAH, THAT'S THE TICKET!
The front half from right behind the shifter forward is from a 69 bug that got rear-ended by a dump truck.
The back half is from a 71 super beetle that met a tree in front....
Very loosely based on a Empi Sportster I took pics of at a VW show some years ago....
I built this around 1999 and it still serves me and the family well around the farm in central Texas.
I've got lots of pictures during the construction somewhere...anybody interested?
Enjoy! _________________ Cheers,

very creative, and i love the paint job
and in all honesty, nobody would really give a shit about a 69 standard and a 71 super. which is why we love to cut them up for our projects _________________ OGST | CU05 | OGJHC

I don't think it's ugly, just missing something. A .50 cal mounted to the roll bar maybe. |
