Sweet Dave, these V-Dubs are getting tempting with the currant builds popping up.

Neat looking chassis, Dave. I Like the wire holders; they look right at home on a brass chassis car.

Hi Dave, You might think that some think you're crazy but I think the correct word is more like clever. I enjoy your inspiration!
Thanks,
Tom Baker
P. S. How's the solder station holding up?

Outstanding (as usual)! I'm going to have to hurry and catch up with mine (it does have paint).
BTW, you know that sunroof just begs to have something sticking out of it........ :think:

This has to be close to one of the coolest cars you have built. In terms of the detail here, it's just eye candy.
