That..............looks really good there Dale. Wow!! How much did you have to gut that thing to get all that to work? True inspiration to me in my quest to pull off my Pro Street version of the VW.

Joe, it was one hell of a build mate, it took me 3 months, most of my builds take 3-4 weeks. But it was fun, just trying to make everything work, and still look right. As it was an F1 rear and engine, i narrowed it all to fit, and went from there.. Thanks too mate,,  |

My all time fastest builds were a tie between my Dauntless Dive Bomber and my 1970 Challenger T/A, both which took four months......each!!! Most of my builds fall within the 10-12 MONTH category. It's probably a good thing though as display space is limited. |

Oh man, . . . that is just too KOOL!! And the paint work
is stunning on that VW. That is one nice piece of clever
crafting for sure!
Thanks for posting this, it is inspiring work DeeCee.

The more I look at it, the more things I notice.
You really had that cooling system figured out!!

Thanks men,
David, it was a very scrutinized build at the time, so everything had to be believable,
the radiators cool through the side vents as you have noticed, and the engine breathes through the roof scoop,
this build did my head in at the time making everything work, especially the trans-axle.

I'd love to do a MOTM build, but when I'm up against builds like this I just sit in the corner. Well done Dale.

This is one awesome build Dale. I take my hat off to you from the idea to the finish of the build all I can say is spot on. Cheers Steve

It's probably a good thing though as display space is limited. takes me 6 months just to figure out what color. just how much modeling time a week do you get?
build looks great, i have one of these and was thinking on a Ferrari rear trans axle and motor. i may have to get mine out after seeing yours.

Cheers men, Tubbs, i have as much model time as i want.... no missus...  but i usually spend a couple of hours each night in the model room, and a few hours over the week-end, depending on what else i need to do, or can be bothered doing.. |
