beetle layout

Im nearly finished the interior of the 66 beetle im working on. jus wonderin what you guys think would be the best layout for the interior;
1) Drivers seat, nos bottle in place of passenger seat, amps, power caps, and screens in the back
2) both seats, two nos bottles along side the sound install in the back

wat you guys think? holla with any ideas or any new ones

Re: beetle layout

No nitrous!! Make it all-motor, Cali-style, keep both seats, shave the handles and trim, open the front up and install the amps there and build a custom enclosure in the rear seat area!! Just a few suggestions

Re: beetle layout

Why amps and speakers and nitrous? Why not think outside of the speaker box and do something better. How about... a dishwasher, and a sink, a cutting board, a fridge, a stove top and a little oven? That would be far more interesting.

If you insist on putting in ICE, and nitrous; you do realize the old bug's motor is out back? Why not open the front, and put it in there? That would be a cool way to incorporate ICE into an old Beetle - by using one of it's most distinct features to make a very different model.

Re: beetle layout

Hey,

I agree with willimo...ice in front trunk if you must, if its the tamiya or polar lights kit, or you have it cut out already. If not, ice instead of the rear seat, nos...eh...out the window...Your model, just my opinion. Have fun with it.
