I like the car in general...Not sure about the bumpers though, and why not just put duals with shorty manifolds on. Would have been much cleaner...And I agree about the battery patch. Aside from those couple things, neat concept.

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.

Never seen anybody use 54 Chevy tail lights on anything on purpose. Now, I see why. |

Very close, and I honestly don't know. I am asking cuz I'm curious.
I see a slight shape difference where the center nose band meets inside of the headlight bezel.

I dunno, that was one of the things that I really liked on this car. 53s are a WHOLE different matter though.
