In the last picture the vehicle is chopped at a different spot (a few inches back) from the other 2 pics. Looks like a 'cut' line on the roof and maybe a wood mock up or a different backend in the last pic. _________________ 1971 Super Beetle (past)

You folks should actually post pics of something you found. Not just pics of other people’s rides on the very site your on. Some are done very well. |

Very nicely done...My only criticism on the bottom one is that it almost seems like the top of the rear quarters should have a bigger radius. And maybe a little different transition into the rear wheel recesses... That car took a lot of work and is very impressive...Kudos to the designer/builder. _________________ D-Dubya Manx clone - 63 Short pan,1914.

If you did a feint entry the sloshing might help with the weight transfer to whip the rear end around. _________________ 1973 Superbeetle: 1st car, owned since age 12. Update thread --> https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9919140#9919140
