Here's something I've been planning for awhile, and w/a show coming up w/a VW theme, I figured now was as good a time as any to get this one done.
Inspiration comes from Hank Young Hotrods Volksrod, a car that I have seen once at our local Caffeine & Octane. It was by far the coolest car there that day! I only got one or two photos due to the very harsh sun, but found a few others on the 'net.
I'm using the color scheme and basic layout, but I'm sticking w/VW suspension and wheels. I have what I think are the right front/rear tires for the big/little look. I'm using Tamiya's '66 as the basis for the model. I need to scrounge up some vintage headlights, I'm going to model it w/the roof closed (using a Polar Lights piece).
My only photo of the model so far is a shot taken for an article, but this model is being built "for me" so I'll share along as it gets done w/o worry over publication. I'll have fun w/this, it's not going to be a replica but it should look a lot like this one. No top chop, fenderless, stretched wheelbase in front, heavy on the "attitude". So far I've cut off the fenders, and roughed in the front fender liner areas. I have to do the same to the back before primer. Hopefully by this time next week it is in finished primer.
