looking great !! loe the wide tyres and stance .. and detailed fuell lines

painted the seats first put medical , cloth tape on the center and cut it out .. the painted them matt black , now note > its grey outside and no matter what lighting i used it was one black mass on pictures .. bbest was by the window and then i made the pics lighter otherwise you cant see the cloth .. irl they are real dark black again here the seats look light , i lightened the pic .. much darker irl maybe i will put a chrome r/t logo on the headrest ?

looks great !

sorry yet a nother update .. added pedals .... made a box for now to hide the ugly bar .. when i made dash and all is together you will only see the pedals themselfs so ....

i started a center console , i had one so used that as a base ...filed openings so it would go over the cage bar i didnt like the console , too small and i wanted to make something custom that fits the rest better .. kind of create a mix between drag and street on the interiour , so i cut the top of and bended a new top from hard plastic .. made sides and rough filed the edges round ..kept the lines between the panels , later i will scibe those deeper , now they are full of glue finished the rear end , rough still needs fine sanding

thnx guys ! thnx and well this started as a fun build , got this from my ex brother in law who slapped it together without paint and loads of glue all out of line .. so it started as a fun build thinking apocaliptic gasser .. but as the project went on it grew bigger and more serious then i expected now i thought there would never be a charger gasser like this but i actually found 2 pics of charger gassers with flip front .. found those when i already had this mock up .. i would never buy this kit and then go this style or gasser .. only happened because it was a glue bomb rescue , in the end thats fun .. then you sometimes build what you would normally dont do ... a nother fun thing , i was more a ratrod - hotrod - leadsled kind of builder .. this one made me real enthousiastic about gassers and also thinking of building a pro mod in the future ... just having fun

thnx anthony ! went on with the cage .. tried a top cage to the a pillars , that looked horrible ...so i'm keeping a backcage and connect that to the bars on the firewall and front chassis so made bars from the back to the front keeling them low for getting in and out .. now i thing with a gasser this looks better then going all crazy with x braces the idea for this fuell cell .. i like it .. could look killer with more detail but i cant cut out the stock tank anymore to much in the way now ..... made a sidebar low behind the seats , this also keeps the bars to the front in line , i have to keep the cage removable for paint all together with the front , need to start on that as well make hinges complete cage out .. so i made small brackets on the side panels of the interiour tub .. so i can glue there after paint ...doesnt need to look nice all will be hidden

insanely cool and detailed > love it !!!!!!

stunning !!

cool !! looks great !

that looks stunning !!!!!!

stunning !!

dude > taking my hat off !!! whow thats stunning work .. most realistic scale beetle i ever saw .. the patina is soo convincing .. it all just screams realism ... if you would take pics of this one outdoors in the right setting ... you couldnt tell its a model

thats just stunning ! looks way realistic

stunning!

nice!!!

very nice kit .. always loved the ds myself !!

thnx guys ! will be added on ....will run through the front and firewall and tie in with the bars running from there to the front frame and the side of the firewall started making a brace between the rear bars , didnt do a brace in a angle , the space is quit small and imo this looked better and still tied in the bars then made bars from the hoop in a bend to the floor just next to the seat area , those also got a brace between them. the idea it to make brace from there along the side of the doorpanels to the front to tie in with the front chassis bars . now i tried just a anged bar direct from the hoop to the front , that would make it hard to get in and out , the way i'm doing it now will keep the bar on the inside of the doors low so they can step over it easy .. just let the interiour guide me on the shape and try to keep it looking like it makes sense seats will not have this color its a filler layer .. but maybe i will go for one racing seat a real race seat and put only one seat in it .. i kind of dig the racy look

started on the rolcage , wanted to do that never made a cage ti'll now now please trust me on the close ups the cage looks real thick .. weird because irl on the eye from a normal distace the thickness looks way less and spot on .. first made a paper template then made the hoop , 2 joints wich are drilles open and haave steel pins inside for stability drilled holes in the rear box finish then made 2 bars , filed it round so it wras around the other bar and run them through the parcel shelf

thnx joe and yes i will go for the high backs

cool !

finally started the rest of the interiour , building a custom tub .. its all made out of hard plastic from window blinds , incl the round edges .. those re on the sides of window blinds and can be cut of . started on rough base side panels where i can build some design on all flows nice into eitch other complete tub here with the thick seats now i could see these fit the best , will get a rollcage , enough room with these and the style fits

looks mean !! great job !!

scribed and rpimered the small buckets to see how that looks

awsome , those headers look stunning ! i have to make them for my charger gasser .. but my flaw is the frame and brace tubing .. i have to go backwards and over the frame .. will be a task ! love this build !!
