Re: Beach VWs(crazy progress)

nice project, i can't wait to see the finish piece.

btw... VW is actually contemplating with this idea as a concept. i have seen some sketches of the up coming VW beach bug concept. is VW paying you riches for your idea? lol

Re: Beach VWs(crazy progress)

Frank: that's really fantastic: I love the 2nd of the 3 yellow kind, only a design advice: keep the back door down, that should give a better "sport" appeal (do you mean the audi a2 roof?)

awesome, man, really a cool idea.

Re: Beach VWs(crazy progress)

They are painted. Gypsy is Ford Competition Orange, from the Mach 1. The Manx...I am unsure. It is a custom mix. Aslo, unsure because Chad and I mixed 2 different paints. And I dunno which he used. Those are suposed to be metalflakes in there for teh Grooooov The BeetWood will be a CC lambo color.

This would have been too much:

Re: Beach VWs(crazy progress)

Ok. I decided to actually progress on the beetle. I can't finish the buggies because Chad has the chassies for them!!>:O hehee..

So here is some progression on the Beetle.









Floor is from junker S-10 bed. Still need to make some kind of rear...I'm thinking dropdown tailgate with slide up glass. Glass will probably be down. And need color...Something beachy...

Thanks.

Re: Beach VWs(crazy progress)

That thing is looking good. I like it alot, and can't wait to see the final product, or yet more progress. Maybe a different shade of yellow for a beachy color....or maybe you could do a fade blue. Start out a really light blue, almost white, and then make it heavier towards the top or bottom, which ever way you want it to go, and eventually get to a dark blue. That would look pretty cool, like the sky at a beach and water almost.... Just some thoughts, goodluck
