WOW! I like it.

[Citysurf740]

Did you build that.. :omg: even if you didn't the thing is crazy. I love it

[BenW]

Is it using the V8 from the XC90?

How long til someone drops THAT in a 242?

[SquareD]

I guess they didn't want to go through the hassle of making it a front engine-rear drive set up. :roll: At least it'll have a nice big trunk in the front...

That's cheating IMO, Hot Rod styled cars need the motor up front, just for the fact that it's traditional.

Beetle's aren't tradtional rod's, they are made after 1948, I'm thinking more like a 32' ford or 36' Chev.

True but I'll bet its a hoot to drive.

Can you say 911 fun? :rofl:

Production most certainly rose after 48--but they were made prior to 1948.

I thought that only in 1948ish they became VW Beetles and not KDf's anyway?

Regardless, it would be more considered a street machine even if it looks like a t roadster.

holy **** thats awesome. does he do all the work himself? where's he get the tools to do all the CF...

[Vee_Que]

Isn't CF like fibreglassing? just make a mould and then lay strips over it?

I believe KDF stopped in the 30's but I am not 100% positive. Heres a 47 up on the samba...
