What do you do when the frame for your Revell T-bucket comes out of the box like this?

If you said 'curse at it a bunch, then shorten it and put a blown aircooled VW motor in it,' then I'd say you were onto something.

I had a lot of fun with this build, as VWs & hot rods are two of my favorite things. I don't build specifically for shows anymore, but this one was done in time for the 2006 NNL East's "I could have had a V8" theme class.

Here's the whole album of build pics:

I like things that are out of the ordinary, and not only is this build unique, but you did an outstanding job too! Way to go!
