kod38 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I just did the body for this gunze sangyo 56 beetle and mocked it up. I do not have the chassis done so the rear has way to much camber. It will sit as low as possible and will have a similar rear camber look. It's only a curb side. Hope to have chassis done this weekend. Doug R
mhadman Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 WHOA! how are you going to bounce through the desert in that!!?? lol I like it..love the paint!I might blackwash the wheels to tone em down a bit,but the bug is cool...

Easy Mark, I have not done the suspension yet.LOL! Just wanted to bust something easier out. It's for a CBP on Bobby Boggs group. Doug R And thanks.
JAFFA Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 hey, so far so good, lookin forward to further progress, i like the paint. just what id do, just me talkin, id get some other rims, cos these (just my oppinion), i dont thin go to well with the body style, try sumthing like this maybe?? http://www.pegasushobbies.com/rims.htm
VW Dave Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 just what id do, just me talkin, id get some other rims, cos these (just my oppinion), i dont thin go to well with the body style It'll be a sad day when polished/plated Fuchs wheels don't go well with an early VW's body style. :roll: Those Pegasus wheels are much too 'Pimp My Ride'(just my opinion) Looking great so far Doug; keep at it.
RTK434 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I agree old VW's and Fuchs are a perfect match.
jbwelda Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 im with you on that dave. i would black out the spokes of the fuchs wheels myself.
kod38 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Posted October 12, 2006 Sorry guys, I am sticking with the fully polished /plated Fuchs. If I had a 1:1 that is the wheel I would choose,unless I could get BRM's. Call me old school,I can take it.LOL! I hope to finish soon,I might cheat and black out the rear windows. Doug R
mhadman Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 i like the wheels,i would just black wash the rescessed areas to make them stand out more...
Wildrice Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 What no Super Swampers on this one? LOL. Looking good Doug. I like that color.
VW Dave Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I am sticking with the fully polished /plated Fuchs. I agree with that choice; against the dark body color, the fully bright ones are best. The ones with the darkened recesses are pretty cool too, but they need to be against a lighter body color IMO.
mannyclub Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Sweet vw Doug! cool color too thats gonna be sweet looking when its done! i like the rims on it now too! Manny
