That’s crazy looking. Not sure if the color choices help or hurt it. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far

Some people think they stopped making beetles after 1957. Some people think they stopped making buses in March 55, or August 58, or August 63, or July 67.
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. |

Ha, even the dog is confused!
Looks powerful, if not at all aerodynamic.
Full-length frame under the body, possibly real/probably fake exhaust pipes filling the original front wheel-wells, complete engine/trans/drive-train out of something maybe... (or fully custom-built?)
Interesting choice of singular headlight, going for the train aesthetic? _________________ Two Bugs-
