Extreeme chop/channel/section/shorten etc.

There are some really talented metal shapers out there but this one I thought did a heck of a job! When I first saw the car below I thought it was a Fiberglass bodied scale version until I saw the videos. This guy took a full size bug and sliced and diced it into the mini version you see.

I know it is one of them Furrin cars! but you have to respect the talent in the metalwork?

If the short dude in the back owns the car, then I'm impressed!-MIKE

 

I'm looking for a shriner or maybe twelve clowns to crawl outta that thing.

 

Looks like a lot a work... cool..
Whats up with that dudes pants? I thought only girls wore pants like that...

 

There is a 40 Ford I have seen like that also.

 

damn thats pretty cool! maybe it belongs to the lil fella checkin out the engine!!

 

ya i think they are called caprees or something

 

Those pants are like that cause the dude is actually 8 foot tall. The bug in the foreground is regular size, the real piece of metal artwork is that huge oversized one right behind it

 

that is freakin AWESOME!!! makes me want to have kids. ha ha ha... and i almost did'nt open this thread cause i was afraid of what i was gonna see. i gotta check out them videos now.

 

I am surprised that nobody has said anything about the hiboy bug in the background with the wire wheels and wide whites?

Them furrin guys and their really long shorts or really short pants seem to get your attention more?

 

OH MY GAWD!!!! i've NEVER been afraid to cut up ANYTHING but watching the slides of the build intimidated me at the meer thought of trying to duplicate that thing. YIKES!

 

that's nothin new. we've seen a hundred of em like that.

 

The forethought it took to pull off this project is amazing. makes doing a chop top look like a walk in the park. DAMN!!

 

That`s the coolest "bong !" ever .

 

I KNOW!!! not to piss anyone off but i bet there was more thought, creativity, skill and just plain ole determination put into that little thing than half the rides you see in this place. i don't think i could have pulled it off, thats for sure. WOW!! all that work for a go kart. LOL

 

I like miniature versions of full size cars but mine are all fiberglass or plastic bodied. (Go Karts as you would call them)
I have one like this but it is not in that nice of condition yet!

 

Not with them green shoes!

 

looks like the guy who chopped the car did a number on that dudes pants too

 

Been trying to talk my Dad into chopping my sisters bug that she doesn’t drive anymore. It would at least give him something to do until he finds a 46-48 Ford coupe he is happy with.

 

Hiboy? wtf are you talking about? it's not sitting up on a frame....

 

repost.

 

Around here ( at My gas station) We see lots of Euro travelers wearing those pants, We always laf it up and call em wow mans pants, cause the dope don't know it came from the womens dept, the other joke is that dudes suit case was lost at the airport and He had to wear His Wifes pants, atleast I would hope it's like that , cause the only one in My family that has peddle pushers is My Wife, but to each His own. Von Doc

 

Bugs don't have a frame to sit on!
Take of the fenders and you are as "HI" as a bug Hiboy can get.

 

The guy who built this built it for his son, Who I believe is the kid in the picture checking out the engine. Here are some links to that car.

Kinda bummed out that it just has a B&S go-cart motor in it. It needs a 6-speed Rotax shifter kart motor.

Yeah, the workmanship is incredible.

 

this is extreme

 

no. thats fuckin RETARDED!!!! ...no offense to the mentaly disabled.

 

Here's a 42 Ford photo that I've always liked.

Wow! That's a lot of work. Think of the motivation this guy has (for something you can't drive)! It blows my mind. You'd have to REEEEALY want it bad... It reminds me of a certain thread about a BMW...

 

Hey Doc, how's that 'Camino coming?-MIKE
