ScrappyJ Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 First time posting pics on Model Cars, so I apologize if I foul it up. Some of you that know me (like Gregg and Jairus), also know that I love VWs. Well this is a redo of an old project I did in about '95. Blown-fegnutten The VW emblem. the ring is turned so that the bottom of the dish is billet and the VW (made from styrene) sits inside of the dish: Engine sitting in the bed of the truck: The various parts for the engine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyAsylum Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Way kool VW. I like the reversed motor...like we did with Formula Vees back in the day. You model reminded me of one that I saw on the salt flats last year. It cause quite a commotion and gathered crowds wherever it went. I saw the owner driving it on the road between the freeway exit and "Lands End" (where the paved road stops and the salt begins) and it appears that he drove the sucker all the way to Bonneville from wherever he lives. 'Course, he coulda trailered it to Wendover and just driven the few miles to the salt. But no matter...it was just extra kool...as is your van. http://www.chevyasylum.com/bsf2005/sw/0508..._025r8_jpg.html I look forward to seeing the end product. Thanks for posting this.

ScrappyJ Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Dirk, you amaze me, as usual Can't wait to see this one done Will I see you at the Atlanta NNL in November? Thanks, Gregg! Hope all is well with you. My intention is to be in Atlanta for the November show, but am not sure the Crew Cab will be finished (not sure if anything will be finished, for that matter). Either way, I plan on attending and will bring the projects with me (along with the custom bikes). See you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
