OMG! "Rather than match the roof to the apron, I cut the back off the car and put a baja bumper on" ARRRGH

In other words..."Rather than do it right.......I took the lazy way out and ruined the car!"

Mark, please dont take that the wrong way as I love your car AND yours started with the back cut off but this dude did some really nice work and quit before he finished 'cause it got too hard

[scarecrow]

Oh... did not realize that untill you pointed it out. I can now see where that would be the easy way out.

Somethin about that chop just doesn`t look right, maybe, its because he dropped the front the same as the back?   s#r  s#r  I like the front an inch or 2 lower than the back.   just my opinion  grnbug

  I like it!

   Think how it would look with lots of chrome on the engine - two Webers or Delordo's with chrome stacks sticking up. 

  Besides look how easy it is to pull the engine.

It could be a show winner with very little attention to details.

When you consider what a body shop charges for a chop job or how many hours you would take to do it and considering you might F***k it up. I think the price is a steal.

Joe,

I'm with ya on this one. With some extra fat fenders, big tires and a trick paint job that might be "one of a kind". You could even leave the fenders off "Ala Jacks Rat" and have a cool lowered rat rod. Imagination is all it takes to turn a turd into a diamond and don't quote me on that!

Is it me or does it just look flat on top? It gives it a look like they streched it.

He's got front apron damage and no scrapers on the front windows. I also would get rid of those tail lights. Either that or move them down. There too high.

Pass.

looks a bit odd around the windshield too.

IMO I don't like chopped later model beetles in general. Though it hurts me to see a 50's or a early 60's chopped there's something about chopping a 68ish-79 that makes them look weird.  :)

I agree with John

Sorry - for me this still has to much chopped off. And I can see something strange in the roof just on the front corners of the sunroof.
