Body and chassis united. Still considering seat options. I'm thinking make a seat something like a Kirkey stock car seat or maybe cut a section out of the stock seat and put sides on to make a sort of old time bucket seat. It's interesting that the kit is difficulty level 5. I reckon if you chuck everything bar the drive train and body tub away, it's probably a 2.

Things are progressing nicely. The body and chassis are brush painted matt black. Initially it looked a bit to good so I've gone over a few bits to rough it up slightly. I want it to look as though someone found grandpa's Model T in the barn, tore off everything they didn't need, and went racing. Metallic gold was far too bright for the grille shell so I added a bit of black to get a sort of dirty brass effect. I originally planned to run four straight pipes out of the head for an exhaust but there isn't space for a rear one. Instead I cut the exhaust ahead of the silencer and reshaped it over a tealight into a side exit.

Axles are on and I've put the wheels on temporarily. I'm not sure about the white tyres but they are all I have. I may try and get them a bit dirty. You might just be able to make out my side exit exhaust.

The wheels are on. The only things left are the seat, steering, and pedals. I'm going with the standard seat because the one I made looked rubbish. Hopefully it will look stained and worn because I've used about 10 different colours from black to light grey. I've also put the running boards and a few other bits on the Beetle.

The ground clearance on that puts some 4x4s to shame. Lmao.

Liking that a lot! I'm going with the standard seat because the one I made looked rubbish. Hopefully it will look stained and worn because I've used about 10 different colours from black to light grey. Looks spot on to me!
