Daniel Peterson Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Those half shafts have maybe one good, hard launch in 'em! :wink: I really like it. Keep those photos coming!!
Modelmartin Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Very Cool! I have the same kit but was planning a more sedate build. It looks like the flame pattern tires need to be swapped side to side to get the directional tread going forward. Most people don't realize it :? but DUNE BUGGIES ARE COMING BACK!!!! Andy Martin :twisted:
VW Dave Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Most people don't realize it :? but DUNE BUGGIES ARE COMING BACK!!!! Some of us don't think they ever left. :wink: Very cool job so far, Mr. Bill; I'm looking forward to seeing what you add to it.
bestfreshman Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 beautifull work so far... Go and finish that buggie.
kod38 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 That's cool Bill. Did you ever finish your Bug eyed baja bug? Thanks. Doug R
empinut Posted January 1, 2007 Author Posted January 1, 2007 thanks for the kind words...i was hoping you guys would like it. i totally forgot about the flame pattern until andy pointed that out. thanks andy (lol). it only took me about 4 tries to get all 4 wheels to touch the ground as the original kit is not exactly engineered flat and I had to be a smarty pants and scratchbuild the suspension-tranny. I do not know if i have the patience to go through that again at this time. By the way andy...you have any other vw resin kits coming out? i was thinking the same thing about the halfshafts but what the heck...they are chromed and they fit the boots I made....it's gonna be a trailer queen anyway. hey bobby, ya got me thinkin about that the baja bug again...i put it away, but now have pulled it out again. I am tossing around 4 builds on the "lazy susan" bench at the moment. thanks again Bill Murrieta
empinut Posted January 1, 2007 Author Posted January 1, 2007 sorry Doug, I got my names mixed up. Bill
Jairus Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Those half shafts have maybe one good, hard launch in 'em! :wink: Hey, it's VW... lets get real!
Mad Slammer Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 It looks great. . . Did you try the front rims that match the rears? 8)
