VW custom drag bus

[cobraman]

Finished this up this morning. Started with the Der Beetle Bus kit by AMT . Cut up and modified the body to fit the chassis from the MPC Jawbreaker kit. Cut the rear wheel wells open and modified the roof section as well. Scratch built the interior, wired the engine with a MAD distributor.Modified the headers and put a fuel line in from the fuel tank. Red, white and blue paint was all Krylon Short Cuts as well as the clear. As always I welcome comments pro or con.

Thank you much guys. Yes ,the body is over the dragster frame with a bar mounted in the bed which rests on the frame. In hindsight I should have thought through the headers. The way I mounted them makes it removing the body not possible. The headers are glued to cutouts I made in the rear section. I always mess up something, it never fails. Time to mess up another one ! : )
