Jon Cole Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) There is several VW van builds now finished or in the pipeline here on the board. So I thought I would show this replica of my nephew's first set of wheels. I gave it to him one Christmas. I don't recall too much, but I did scratch build the wheelcovers. Maybe the mirrors too. Sorry for the lousy pics. Edited February 5, 2010 by Spyder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Amazed it had the lifting roof. It looks like it would block all the windows when down ..how did that work that it didn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike- It was like a tent in that the sides (IIRC) were both screen material for ventilation, and a canvas for wet weather protection. I don't know how it folded up when the roof was lowered. Anyone know? The model is long gone, if I ever rebuilt one, I would like to make that part of it functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
