See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet! My Blog | | | | | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 1,214 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 1,214 | I highly admire such craftmanship. It also just so happens that my 49 3100 shares "stable" space with a German engineered and built air cooled rear engined 72 Karmann Ghia, so I guess it's no wonder I have no problem seeing this combination. Course mine are gonna stay separate and independant as I highly enjoy their differences. And I don't possess such skills as witnessed in this thread  .

I don't think the flatter back of the AD cab looks right with the round volks roof and body. It kind of looks like someone kicked it in the back of the head (cab). Great work, not my style but I can appreciate that it's someone else's dream.
I'm not a fan of the bug drivetrains though. If this were my dream it would be on a full frame with a front-mounted SBC and rear-drive. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 388 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 388 | thats a TON of cork, and turned out really nice! Not my cup of tea (if the front was a little flatter, and less bug looking, it'd be better). But WOW, what a job he did! Really cool to see the step by step! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | Makes me tired just looking through the pictures, quite a transformation. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 | Dare to be different. I love it. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 305 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 305 | I'm an old bug fan and I think this is such a cool project. The 5 window would be nice but I can only imagine the work in that.
If I had the patience and shop, I'd love to build one, maybe work an AD front end in some how.
Very Cool! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 | That thing is awesome!  | | |
