I don't know which is crazier - the fact that he built it that way or that he expects people to give him money for it!

I agree. The car is really cool....But could almost use a "little" something to finish off the top of the windshield or posts...Just looks like it was whacked off. Been looking at it for a while and not sure what I would do.
OK - whadya think about this. The top of the glass should be curved to match the curve of the cowl...And then the top of the A pillars tapered a little to help flow more into the glass....Yeah - I think that's it.
Not criticizing the builder - the car is really nice....Just something I would have done.

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. |

Good call. I had to go look again. They do look like models. Just glancing they look real. |
