Foxer Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'm going to like following this one. Very nice work so far. The colors on the engine are perfect! I'm curious if you're planning on doing the chrome wind deflectors above the drive side windows. I have a build that needs them and haven't decided how I'll do it yet.

VW Dave Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 It's been said already by everybody, but I really like where this one is headed too. I'm curious if you're planning on doing the chrome wind deflectors above the drive side windows. I have a build that needs them and haven't decided how I'll do it yet. Aluminum foil maybe? Cuts easily with a #11 or small scissors, and offers a nice scale thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 What is the bazooka looking thing on the pass window ? Old timey swamp cooler. They used these before cars had air conditioning. Nice work, BTW. Looking very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kekefe Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks Tony Thank you Doctor... What is the bazooka looking thing on the pass window ? That is called swamp cooler, which is an old-fashioned air condition.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooneyzs Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 This is a totally cool build you got going here. I have this same kit and seeing you start on this one makes me want to start the bug I have wanted to build with this kit. I saw a killer bug at a car show a year or two ago that I took pics of and wanyes to make a model of it. Looking forward to seeing more of this build.
