Here's a group shot.

All are built from the same base kit.

Not much different on the outside

The bottoms of the seats were molded into the interior tub.
They had to go to make room for the sport seats.

An inside pix of the body work...
The working name is "Evergreen" lol

Re: <Custom Contest> Mystery?

From the first pics, I had also guessed it was a Newbeetle

Very good job so far
Keep up the good work.

Cool! I've never seen F-50 style vents on a Beetle, but they look surprisingly good . Wheels look great too; Just get it painted and it'll be a stunner.

the body lines gave the beetle look away, the fenders also did

I'm really having a hard time with the rear wing, I've discarded three attempts so far.
I decided to switch to the interior. Now to mask for the grey (almost black) base color. Still have to decide on green or black belts.
It's gonna be like the "Color Concept" cars interior only louder!

Re: <Custom Contest> Mystery?

dont know what belts to choose! the both look great. but in the long run i think the black would be best, there is already plenty of green inside the car! looks awesome. love the vents in the hood! looks killer man!!!!!!!
