Nice buggy, Tony!! Does that little bugger have enough HP to push those HUGE meats around?! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe you guys have higher octane fuel up north!! :blink: :lol: :lol:

Maybe it's the higher air density from the colder temps.... B)

Nice job with the update on the good old Bug! Big or not, I like the wheels on this one. :lol:

Thus the reason for the dual webers!

Thanks for the comments! It was a fun one to put together...I like the wheels, too!

Got it!! I was so overwhelmed by the moster meats when I looked at it the first time that I completely overlooked the Webers you're using to power the little monster!! :lol: ;) :blink:

Glad to see that you've got a good sense of humor!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Keep up the great builds and the posts!!

Also, thanks James and thanks Jared! I'm glad you like it. It was a fun build, took a bit of time to get it all the way I wanted.
I'm happy with how it turned out, though!

I concur - Very nice job on that Beetle, Tony. It's rare to see one of those Revell VW's completed at all....they mostly wind up as parts donors at my house. :D
