    Think about World War Two. Many have speculated what humankind would be like today if the Axis forces took over the world after winning WWII. What about automobiles? Germany made the Beetle, which was amazingly reliable. They probably wouldn't think so highly of American cars. But they wouldn't want to just throw the American cars away. So I've made a prototype. Take an American car. Oh, here's a Monogram 40 Chevy! How ugly! Germans wouldn't take so kindly to the American front-engine style. So what would they do? Put a VW engine in it, in the rear, where an engine belongs! They would put the headlights on the fenders, inset, where they belong! American seats? Pshaw! VW seats all the way! Pictures soon to follow.

    We "borrowed" our visor from a hospital...

    At least THIS probably wouldn't break over every jump like the Charger did in the TV show...

    Too much detail! Honey, I Shrunk the Alfa! I'm lucky if I paint the gauge faces on anything!

    This was on the workbench a while ago, but I'll consider it done. I took it apart about a week ago, for new taillights and a general look-over and new wheels.

    Those guns look great... Need to find one, both for the guns and Monacos!

    Since it's gonna be in a hillbilly truck, I was thinking old weapons and crude ones, like cut down rifles and shotguns, maybe a hunting rifle, revolvers, and that Tommy gun would work great, too.

    Found one! This website: http://www.phoenixmodeldevelopments.com/acatalog/Drawing_Room_and_Hall.html Not sure if I wanna she'll out for it, maybe I'll just find gun plans online use the dimensions to scratch one out of putty..

    I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the info, guys!

    There was actually a 1950s dentist chair in the classifieds I saw here a while ago... Didn't like the thought of being stabbed in the gums, however.

    Any info on guns in 1/24 or 1/25? I'm not too specific on exactness, as 1/24 and 1/25 look basically the same to me. I really want some double barrel shotguns for hillbilly trucks to make into sawed-offs XD Any kind of pistols, too, would fit nicely.

    I found a body, most of the chassis, and the engine with base for one of these in my parts box.

    Dang sweet, son!

    Look at this wicked Fastback with a mustang roof \m/
  18. chunkypeanutbutter
    Not bad! My dad rehabbed a Ghia for a guy from Spain. Somebody fixed the rockers in it before by shoving wads of newspaper and rags in the rusty parts and covering it over with caulking... Needless to say it needed completely new rockers!

    VWs are bulletproof in the right hands. Some people don't understand cars and mistreat them. Otherwise they are total troopers, and easily fixed on the side of the road.

    We never had a fastback. We have the 73 and 71 Squares, we had two Buses, and now we have a convertible Beetle. There was a time when we had eight Vanagons in the driveway.
  21. chunkypeanutbutter
    Thinking of taking this Maisto Squareback and making a replica of my poor old '73 :,(
  22. chunkypeanutbutter
    I have that same car, but it's molded in yellow. Older one, built by my dad years ago. Always thought it was a Chevy or something.
  23. chunkypeanutbutter
    Looks really great
  24. chunkypeanutbutter
    Hot dang... I'm in love
  25. chunkypeanutbutter
    Richard, those are great! These are all pre built except for the beetle. Some more work yesterday...
