Chopped VW pimp’n
Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2005 1:59 pm
A True pimp JMays hooked me up on a couple of VW truck bodies and I have been itching to mod one! I started the other day! Or should I say as Dark Tari says I got the Naked chicks in my basement to working on it!
First I sanded like a madman as they came in rough as most resin cast do then I took my saw to it and chopped the top I thought it would look much more Pimp’n if I chopped the top. I then had to fill in the post and sand again to make the posts and roof match up with the body this was no easy task. After sanding and putty and sanding and well you get the point I washed the body in soap and water and set down the first coats of primer. I have it almost ready for the first coats of paint just a little more sanding to go.
The other body is to show how much the top was chopped I took a good amount out of it. The chassis is a bit chassis with some wheels I got from the German Group buy we did.
Again if any suggestions on how to make it look better let me know.
