    Thanks for the comments guys. I am going to do a dark Gun Metal with a clear red over it. I will put down some paint this weekend. I was also thinking maybe white, what do you guys think? Thanks for looking.

    Re: VW Tuner/Lowrider

    Re: VW Tuner/Lowrider

    There a little tough but i platformed my rear deck and that moved the mounting points forward and leaned the windshield but the overall kit of mine has a ton of subtle mods. i molded a viper 1/25th scale nose on the front of this VW and also added the scoop and molded it in smoothed all the seams and opend the doors and built the jams.

    Your kit is very creative, Look nice Just always remeber to pay attention to dimensions! and how balanced the overall car looks from every angle i build like most do on a mirror and rotate my car while its in mock up so im constanley checking the look and dimensions. why'll say the wheel are just sitting there etc. that beetle there would look great with a chopped top or a just a windshield aswell so many ways to build.

    Heres a 33 Willys i build a while back it actually started out as a Panel delivery and i cut out the panel part and moved the rear forward and made a X-cab witch they never made! so just always continue to be creative and push the envelope and do your own visions and you will stand out ! Good luck!

    Re: VW Tuner/Lowrider

    I think that the next one will be a roadster. I have a couple part that I have set aside for it so next time I see one on sale I will have to pick it up and start again. Do you have a ny build pics of the chopped top that you could share with me. If not I might find you when I start again. Thanks Justin

    Re: VW Tuner/Lowrider

    This one is in the case waiting for the next show to roll around. I think it will make a appearance at  the Oct. 25 show in Indianapolis I cant remember the club (sorry). I was able to finish buy putting in the windows and finishing the inside. It was funn cutting each turn signal and light lense out of clear styrene. Let me know what you think of the finished project. It was fun to build and I think it turned out pretty good. Besides my number one fan (aka wife) likes it so that is all that really matters. thank you for looking.
