That thing is amazing. The detail is spot on from what you could see in the video. World class fabrication and workmanship there. I wonder if VWOA has threatened him with lawsuits yet? Or have they learned to keep a low profile from their last debacle?

I love how he downplayed the effort involved:
"It wasn't that hard, really. I had a cherry '59 Bug that I just took apart, digitized all the pieces, then built them 40% bigger, it all just bolted together."
Yeah, piece o' cake. Hope he decides to do a Big Bus next.
