nyguy Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Had this build since 2020 waiting for the NNL East and got sick this week and was unable to attend. Scratchbilt the teardrop trailer and used the VW rear windows and fenders. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlecan Dan Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Nice concept. Well executed. Don't know if that little motor is going to haul all that plus family of 4 and the dog. Lol. Nice job.

nyguy Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 I did just that. Took the dimensions and scaled them down. Thought for sure I would have to change the wheelbase but NO. Go figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Great take on the bug. The trailer was a nice idea to re-purpose the unused parts. Great project, makes me miss my beetle even more.😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
