It started last year, I had an idea in my mind, but other project toke over, and probably now I will start the real build... So I was thinking to use this body, left over from another project...

Also I think I remember a 24 hr. build. Keep us posted in your spare time! Depend also what you are building... I built one in 3 days, but was pretty much stock. This week end I had to work on a 1/1 car... But I was able to put the body on a bucket with some cleaning stuff for remove the color. It make harder now to complete it for next Sunday, but will see how it goes... If I can finish it good, if not I'm fine too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizio Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Here some small progress... I cut the body... I need to use some putty on the front end, the molding is not very good, plus I made some holes in the back of the fenders for reference when I was building the other VW. I don't have a chassis so I need to build one... Here the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Good luck. Those Revell Beetles have massive cast lines, and lots of flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Good luck. Those Revell Beetles have massive cast lines, and lots of flash. Thanks! Agree, not worth to buy it, you'll spend more time to clean all the the time to build it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Two day left, and here are the 'progress" on it... Now I'll show you the reason I cut the front end... And here are some stripes for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizio Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 looks cool, but I wouldn't want to drive it on a very windy day. Rock and roll. Me either. I had a few experience with bigger RV and on wind, or passing trucks is not too fun... I know where this is going. Looks that this one has twin tires, probably for better stability. The one I'm building will have singular tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Can't wait to see the outcome, you got alot of work ahead of you. I did a few things today, tomorrow I will take some pics. That's pretty cool! Good luck getting it done by Sunday and don't forget to post more pictures! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
