Hey, new to beetles. Picking up my first, a '67, on sunday.
I am really into hot rods and will probably 'volksrod' it.
Had a question, I got a pic online of a yellow and white beetle rod, I think it was a scale model. No chop but had a 50's rod look going on. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about that model? I need to see a few more views of it cause it's basically what I want to do to mine.
Thanks! |

| I agree, but I can't seem to get my registration approved by a moderator over there, so I can't post.... |

I agree...But it is your car. How about a 72', 73' 74' etc.? I still wouldn't want to see it happen even to a Super but you may not feel as much remorse after you realize what you've done...  Again, it is your car though...To each their own  ...Or so they say...Just my 2 cents  Welcome to aircooled's nonetheless...

Welcome, I'd think twice about the "volksrod" stuff... I'm a hot rodder too, the volksrods are goofy if you ask me, they don't look right and it's a stupid concept. Hacking up a volkswagen and slapping a set of kelsey hayes on it doesn't make it a "hot rod". But it's not my car.  |

This one is good but has a front baja clip.
My vision of a 'volksrod' is not as extreme as other's.
I wish I could find that model to show ya, just a really cool mild rod. |
