Now thats nice[cl

I wish that one was real, it is a photoshop. Several people have similar builds to it but none look as good as that one would.

That sorta sucks. They chopped up a split window. If its a 53 or 54 that makes it even more rare as they were a mixture of split window and oval windows.

could possibly be a split window kit I remember you could buy one of those back when I wanted one.

That is a good photoshop rendering. I like the proportions a lot...[P

My recent acquisition - 1956 ragtop. Haven't had a bug since high school (early 90s) and I'm having alot of fun with it. Now I want a fast one, a VW Thing and a Baja!

Hey Maverick, that looks pretty similar to a picture of the pits I took when I was at Farmington in 2009.

A lot of guys I raced with at "The Farm" in SEVWA and IVWA. My drag bugs I raced there. Both have new owners now.

Are you referring to this one being photoshop?



I still can't believe it's photoshop, it looks pretty darn real.

Yep, it is photoshopped. It is Fred Hidaglo's bug (Stinkbug). Here are a couple of pics and link to more info. http://socalook.com/gallery_hidalgo64.html

Even without the photoshop that's a sweet car!

Yea regardless, even his real car is badass but that first photoshopped pic is how I would like to build a bug one day.

We finally got my brother n laws Rat roadster out yesterday and drove it to a canvas shop to get a top made for it. Looks pretty good on the road and it all seems to work much to our surprise!
