1971 Shortened VW.

Broke the tabs on the hood so it’s glued shut. I was going to put the black stripes on the hood like the photo on the box. But they were not in the kit. Just the Coke stuff. Cute enough. Red cherry bomb muffler. Concocted my own exhaust seeing the hood was going to be glued. I didn’t glue the body to the pan because then you could lift the body to see the rest of the Bug. It came out ok.

What a little gem! Nice work David.

Built the same kit not quite 2 years ago, same color, had issues with the hood and fit and almost resisted the urge to put on the "anti-establishment" decals on........

But I gave Peace a chance, had a Coke and a smile and did the "Real Thing"........I slopped that baby up with those Coca Cola, good vibes, power to the people and stuck it to the people's ride so everyone could get the message!.......

A shortened yellow VW Beetle with a dune buggy chassis, parts box wider tires and a scratch built custom exhaust with a Tornado applied kit decals that would make any self respecting hippie vote Republican (1971 Era, that is!).

In other words I had a ball building it, unusual and unique. Yours looks Great!
