All right, here is what I have been spinning in the work shop for a while. Started off with one of those cheapo Thundercharger bodies from Big Lots. Over all a general looking body and said "hey, that could be a cool Jetta" So work started.


But then what do ya know, it's contest time and the theme? Summer Swing Bling Baby! So that means this bitch needs to take a different rout. So after a little look over, she weemed to scream "Make me a beach bunny VW Cabriolet!" So the choppin started. It's interesting to note, the Thundercharger bodies cut like butter. I just used an exacto knife.


But the problem was the front end. What to do to get that classic 4 light shiners that they have. Found a Di cast Muscle Machines BWM and the problem was solved.


Ok to make this short Made the rag top detailed the inside and Badaboom. Here she is.






Needless to say, I am proud of this whip.

I noticed the progress pics pop up in your gallery a while ago, and was anticipating this... Dude, that's freakin' awesome.

that rocks Finks, you did an excellent job.
now that's custom!

the grill is killer, I dig how you did the interior too.

Thanks guys. Bird I kinda did that on purpose, glad ya noticed. This car is 100% a testiment to all you Pimps. As of this Christmas I got my 1st bit, and hell, I have never played around with modding anything. For that matter the last time I did any model stuff I was like 12. So everything I applied to this I have learned from this web site, EVERYTHING. Just goes to show you, if you can force yourself to pay attention to every detail and care enough to study the words of wisdom given here, you can play with the big boys.
