Recommended Posts

Here is a fun little Beetle I just completed. Features a scratchbuilt roof rack, "bagged" suspension, modified stock steelies with stretchwall tires, photo etch headlight visors, custom decals, scratchbuilt console basket, photoetch plate toppers & of course the fun patina paint. Thanks for looking!

OUTSTANDING!!  how did you "pit" the chrome?

Thank you!! I learned that from Dr. Cranky of course.  He did a youtube video on it where you basically just do a burst shot of dull coat.  & then for the rust, did the same with red primer.
