79.9 inches wide.
so that would make it out to be 3.2 in am i correct?

Glad I could help. & believe me, I don't know this stuff off the top of my head. There are a few sites where you can convert 1:1 dimensions to scale. Google is a great invention.
btw would you happen to know the width for the front end i see know mention of it online the right lengh, i had to stretch it out a bit as it was short so now im lost on the front end bummer thanks
im going the 1/25 route

Interesting. Found this on the internets:
"characteristic dimensions: outside length: 5674 mm / 223.4 in, wheelbase: 3099 mm / 122 in"
223.4 in works out to 9.31 inches in 1/24 scale and 8.94 inches in 1/25 scale.
122 in would be 5.08 inches 1/24 and 4.88 inches 1/25.
thank you! that's cool you know that, now i can finish my build

Nice overall shape.
Scratch-built, or made up from parts of other models?
i used the outer shell of the fenders from another kit, sep i even had too chop them up and make them my own, as they where not what i wanted, roof is scratch built i started with plastic strips then i used some aves to give it the curve i need, i used one door from another kit but had to make a new one as i lost the other side , the doors are geting reshape and cut out,,, i did startout with a black hood from another kit sep i just scraped it the other day and made a new one with vents cut out as the old one would not shape well from it was warped and would never go back to normal

Are these finished models? The black Beetle looks like it has no glass, no rear firewall, no engine cover...
i left the fire wall out when i lowered it, it also has no back seats, they where in the way of my tires that i put on it, glass is not there i lossed it, and im not going to replace it anytime soon so i called it done, the engine cover was next to it i forgot to put it on before i took the picture

That shape is looking good. Give us some new photos if you have!
I just added some bondo and putty to feel up the gap in my hood after i just stretch out the car a bit, as it was a bit short from the 1:1 car i cut out my back window took like an hour to do, i have to do some more filling in the back of the car with some aves, then after that' im going to shape the doors add flairs to the fenders, and roof and little small details after that and i might cast it after it'/s all done before it moves to primer and paint
