Bug body go karts....

[werksberg]

My former plastics job training classes used to make these but I still have the molds and templates.....



And yes, I'm 6' + tall and drive it!



Or maybe a wall hanging (I might try and make some of these for Christmas as I'll hinged the hood for a toy or dirty clothes hamper....?):

That is cool looking. I too can now own a Split Beetle!

Thanks!

The kart body actually is styled after a '58 - '64 (?) with a large rear window except when I made the PC window (lots of that scrap laying around here...) I painted it to look like split window as I was building this for body drop to challenge Jessie to a drag race...but a long story....

Fun episode with all the engine drama.

Gotta like a guy that ain't afraid to look goofy!

I just got 3x of these bodies delivered today....

Yellow, red and a blue one...

No prices yet, maybe later today.

I'll be also listing the extras for them too:
rubber edging
rubber running board cut outs
PC (polycarbonate / Lexan) windows

I still want to (but I doubt if i have the time before Christmas unless really paid to do so...) to cut one up into for a front hood opening dirty clothes hamper with a trap door (chassis with wheels and T bars too)

Or the rear engine deck lid hinge open for a toy storage box......

List will be $350 for a plain body hand laid fiberglass

I'm working on the 30' trim / rubber edging cost

A set of the PC windows $50

the rubber running board skins $20
