60 vw promo body

[damodelguy az]

friend gave me this vw promo body only that had a broken front fender. i had been to a show and seen one with the fenders removed and chopped. chopping one of these can get really tricky. decided to put a corvair engine.  enjoy  built middle of 2017

Very nice. I thought about doing something similar to the Revell 1968 VW kit, but I ended up changing my mind. I do want to build a Volksrod in the future though.

The top chop turned out very nice, looks cool! I also like the other projects on your workbench!

Cool, I like the peak over the screen, not something I've seen on a chopped bug before and after seeing it I dont know why when it work so well

Looks good.

That is pretty cool!  A good use for a broken body too!   I have a few VW projects up in my unfinished project pile I need to get back to. This is inspiration!

Worked for a fella that had a VW repair business. One of his younger brothers had a 58 that he put a Porsche 6 into.

That thing would lift the front wheels on a hard launch!

Cool build!

No, just that one photo!  That was just something I whittled up in an evening or two. I got frustrated with the Revell chassis and put it aside.  It's on the list to finish.

Super nice!

Now that's cool. You nailed the shape. Well executed.

Nice Volksrod with a bit of "dare to be different" look...

Looks great.
