This car is 100 percent Street Legal and is still a work in progress. I Just got this car done enough to drive and started driving it 2 weeks ago. it has been to 1 car show and brought home a trophy with it. This car is a real head turner and a Blast to drive. Every thing on this car was custom built here at our shop in Bunker Hill, WV. Our little business is called: Johns Hotrods.

Awesome bro! I'm glad you made your way over to the forum! Check out some of the other rides on the forum. There's some big horsepower projects completed and going on. Check under Bug From Hell and 1972 big block bug. The 72 super beetle will have a 800+ horsepower engine, all motor and the moderator, Carmen, with the yellow bug has quite the stout BBC chevy bug as well.

I looked through your build on cardomain before. Looks awesome mate ;D

[badnblown69vw]

Hey V8Superbeetle, Im not to good witht he photoshop stuff. You think you could mix me up some paint and try it out on my vw and see if we could find a nice paint scheme for my VW. My #1 color is Black but maybe we could do a wild two tone scheme or something. Let me know what you can do. Thanks

[V8 Super Beetle]

Sure man, no problem. So are you wanting to see an all black version? And on the two tone, where would you like to see the separate colors? Normal way is either the top half and bottom half are two separate colors or everything is one color and the sides are another color. I'm sure you know what I mean. So one color would be black and the second color?

[badnblown69vw]

Well I would like to see a Super Jet Black version of it and a Torch red version of it, and then maybe try a two tone like Torch Red on top and the bottom half a Nice Silver color, and then maybe a Black on top, and a Green on the bottom half, like a NEW VW Green, or a medium gree. If you get the time just try it out, if not dont worry abou it man. Just let me know what you can do. Thanks

[staynedglass]

holy crap!! that's awesome. personally i like it just the way it is. with out paint and all. hell when mine is done i'm gonna primer it, flat over the primer with 2 coats. and while the 2nd coat is still wet blow brake rotor shaving into the paint. that way the whole car will be rusty. but only cosmetically.

[hellraiser]

wow thats a good looking bug, did u build the chassis ur self or have it done?

[badnblown69vw]

No, We do All the work to our car ourselves here at our shop: John's Hotrodz
The chassis all custom by us and is made of 2x3 square tube chassis. here is a Picture of the Chassis when I had the body off for paint.

[hellraiser]

wow! what do u charge for a roller like that, minus the narrowed rear, say with just 8" wide tires all arround

[badnblown69vw]

Dude, To be honest IDK what to charge for something like that. This is the first actual car that we have built from totally scratch. It was alot of work and alot of time. you aint the first person to ask for one after seeing our quality work. LOL. Ive already turned down plenty of offers on the whole car and Ive only had it out one time or a cruise in.

[V8 Super Beetle]

Here are a few to look at.










I couldn't quite get it to have that shiny look, without spending hours working on it, due to the paint in it's current state. I think it would look good all flat black with chrome trim to give it that gasser look.

[badnblown69vw]

Thats awesome man, I like all of them schemes except the red on top and black on bottom, It would look sweet any of them though. Thanks Alot man, if you ever get bored and want to do some more paint schemes, have at it man and have some fun, you got my premission to try em. TTYL man.

[racerman51]

those are Hoosiers on the back of that wild thing,right?..and it is a sweet ride!..must a pain to get to the battery though.. ;D

[badnblown69vw]

No Hoosiers yet. LOL its got 29x18.50x15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pros on it right now, it dont hook and go as straight as I want it to so I might be investing in a set of Mickey Thompson ET Streets or a set of Hoosier Quick Times or something. As far as the battery, its not to hard to get to, 4 screws and the covers comes off the battery and just lift it up and take it out. But thanks for the compliments. TTYL
