Need some help ideas

Hi Guys/Gals.
I need some advice on ideas on how to tackle what might be my future
project. Anyways, I love VW Beetle ( the old one ) and ever since I saw the custom beetle Wesly Snipes drove in the 'Major League' Movie (w/ Charlie Sheen ) I've always wanted to make one...

Anyho, I've been thinking of using these kits

http://www.best1hobby.com/Merchant2/...y_Code=car1-24

I wanted to chop the front part of the BUG and replace it witht he front of the Sportester. Now my question is, what do you think would best the approach to merge these two kits. Or is there any other kit that I can use?

Ideas, comments or anything else are welcome.


Thanks,
d

PS: Is there any VW Beetle Cabrio Model kit availble? I've been searching the web with no luck.

Thanks man...I was searching for 1/24, that's why I can't find any VW.

So, what do you of my plan? Is it possible??

It's definitely possible, but I think it would look quite weird, but if it floats YOUR boat, that's all that matters!

Good Luck!
