holy shit... all the brian bass lovers on that other thread should come and look at this.

motherfucker made a VOLKSWAGEN look cool. now THAT's talent!

 

pics some with a little photo shoping done to them so you'll get da idea.
this is the grill I picked up, I chopped it several inchess to shorten it and its going to be installed upside down, I think it looks better that way.

The suspension will be covered over with sheet metal.





this is the grill sitting right side up before I chopped it and welded a middle section to it.




and after chop and middle section added and upside down the way I like it.








the inspiration drawing you all know.....



and my photoshopped pic....





I picked up a 13 inch billet alum steering wheel and some drop down side door mirriors and long with 4 wheel adaptors so I can fit some 5X4 3/4 chevy rims, 20' deep dish out back and 18's up front.


the body work will be pau (done) this March when he gets back from vacation. I'm thinking of going with a bright silver.

 

Heres my chain link grille except for paint of course.



The ends are welded only so the chain link flex's.


The styling of my grille after this one. I nameing this the "Phanthom Hood"



.

 

Welcome back from Houston Tx look forward to more pics

 

Cool!

 

Heres a couple pics with some larger chevy stock rims and big white walls I had laid up against the car.

Large rear tires...



all large tires all around.




without.





played with the color on photo shot in this one.





Ok now you guys are all caught up on whats been going on in my life since Sep.
I still yet got some stuff for do today before the body guy comes and body works it and paints it then we install the windows on the back, sides and windshield of course.

Mahalo for the possitive things said so far, i was really affraid for post up my project on here but i grew so close to some of you guys I couldnt stay away long.

 

Put the hood back on it, that chain is horrible. i liked it untill then, and i dont care for volksrods much... and put a rear window in it.

 

It will be very interesting to see where this thread goes... It's got almost nothing to do with traditional hot rods, but I'm blown away by the profile you were able to achieve on the 'bug's body, and I appreciate the craftsmanship very much.

Hopefully the Vee-Dub haters wont crash the party and get this shut down... We shall see.

 

i like volks rods............but the chains look stupid, with the hood its an awesome little car
its your car & opinions are like.........
just my 2 cents

WTF? Fugly and wrong forum.
