MOVIN' MORE FENDERS... I cut most of the rear fender off the body... Then I raised the top edge of the fender and glued it in place about .25 inches higher. This will give me more room for the BiG Rear Tires!

Thanks Wilbert! Sounds Good to me...

TOP FITTING.... You can see in this photo that there is an .5 inch wide section of the roof that does not fit well. I didn't glue this section in yet... I cut the section out and carved it a little to make it fit nice and tight! I also carved the side windows out a bit...

MOVING FENDERS... I cut off the front fenders so I could shorten the sides .5 inches. Then I glued them back on about .5 inches back... Next I cut out the excess plastic, in front of the Front Fenders.

BODY MODS For MUD BUG!!! Before I started taking photos, I shortened the body about 1.5 inches: .5 inches from the doors, .5 inches from behind the doors and another .5 inches from the hood area... Here is what the Mud Bug looks like next to a stock VW...

More photos Coming...

MUD BUG!!! A Muddy New Project! I am modifying Revells Killer Bee to look more like a Deals Wheels "Hum Bug" Off-Road VW Buggy. The Hum Bug Kits are pretty hard to find, so I thought I might make my own VW Buggy. I will be trying some Extreme Weathering on the Mud Bug, any suggestions welcome! Most of the parts for the Mud Bug Project come from Revells Killer Bee & Porsche 911 Kits. Tires and other odd parts will be coming from the Deals Wheels Van Kit. Let's Get Started...

GREAT BUILD!!! Nice weathering...

GREAT BUILD!!! Nice Detailing...

GREAT BUILD & GREAT PAINT TOO!!! Very Nice...

THIS SHOULD BE FUN!!!
