I made this thread to avoid bastardizing Help needed mostly pics (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t89774.html)
On this pic , what do you see in front off the trailer?
You think it's a cool Ford F150?

Noooo :D you're wrong it's a mix between a VW New Beetle and a Ford F150. First of all, I want to say that it's diecast .TheSyndicate asked me some pics then I have to insert it here.
It's diecast but it can be easily made from a Revell/Monogram F150 and a Revell New Beetle (not the tamiya one, the Revell will be closest to the scale of the F150). I hope it gives ideas to some of you.

All the honors are not for me , they are for a friend from another forum.
His pseudo is "Type11" and he always makes great jobs.

Nice one! I usually build stock and racing cars myself, but innovative customs like this one really get my thumbs up :)

:huh: ok, I knew that they would both combined, reading the thread name. But I think that would look better as a matching set of both, or soemthing like that, it's just wierd in my opinion.

Not all customs are meant to be wierd. People make customs to look good, or look mean. Some do look wierd but true customs look unique. So you couldn't really classify them as any above. I meant matching pair as in all cars matched, paint, wheels etc. I thought that would look better then some tripped out truck. That paint is really nice though.

It's odd but cool looking. I would have never dreamt of mixing a beetle with an F150, very creative. Where did you get those wheels from? I use to have the Budnik Trilogys on my truck. I have a model of a Chevy Silverado that I started working on like 2 years ago and if I ever get around to it, I may want to add those wheels. The F150 Beetle is ingenious, lets see some more creative ideas.

that looks a lot like the chevy ssr pickup/roadster. the wheel well flares are more exagerated on this, and the retro styling isnt there, but other than those subtle differences, i see a lot of similarity.

Hi,

thanks for all. I've translated all your comments and sent it to my friend (he is french). He is very happy that you appreciated his work.

To answer some questions:

TexasF355F1: The Budnik wheels are scratchbuilt.

Integra14: Yes, it's diecast but he used 2 cars to do 1. You'll never find one like this in shops.

rlobo71: I've done this for you Flaming "How to" (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t90554.html)
Cool to find an other VW-vintage lover. My '62 beetle is now in restauration too.
