Extreeme chop/channel/section/shorten etc.
There are some really talented metal shapers out there but this one I thought did a heck of a job! When I first saw the car below I thought it was a Fiberglass bodied scale version until I saw the videos. This guy took a full size bug and sliced and diced it into the mini version you see.
I know it is one of them Furrin cars! but you have to respect the talent in the metalwork?  Part one images of the build http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiOK5FQL-78 Part two images of the build http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FypbA5ptpo Part three http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjj1RSYiq6o First test drive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1aOhNwl4sU

Re: Extreeme chop/channel/section/shorten etc.
Those pants are like that cause the dude is actually 8 foot tall. The bug in the foreground is regular size, the real piece of metal artwork is that huge oversized one right behind it

Re: Extreeme chop/channel/section/shorten etc.
I am surprised that nobody has said anything about the hiboy bug in the background with the wire wheels and wide whites?
Them furrin guys and their really long shorts or really short pants seem to get your attention more?

Re: Extreeme chop/channel/section/shorten etc.
I like miniature versions of full size cars but mine are all fiberglass or plastic bodied. (Go Karts as you would call them)
I have one like this but it is not in that nice of condition yet!

Re: Extreeme chop/channel/section/shorten etc.
Been trying to talk my Dad into chopping my sisters bug that she doesn’t drive anymore. It would at least give him something to do until he finds a 46-48 Ford coupe he is happy with.
