Orv custom project

Recommended Posts

Hey, I'm building a project I've been thinking about for a couple years. Looking for ideas....

Im going the rat rod look due to the original condition of the body. I've already got about 20 hours into the body....

i need colors. I didn't want to go all black. I am thinking a deep red in the sides and black on the top. 

Also any ideas for the antenna mount. It's currently mouthed to a monster beetle skid plate with a super Blackfoot antenna holder.

additionally, I need a vintage MB window to hide all the innards.

It would indeed be interesting to see the project so far. Might help us come up with suggestions?

I will guess it is some sort of Beetle and suggest mild weathering/salting to get a rat-rod look going - although that will do for any 'metal-body' project of that type.

Yes, forgot to mention it's a monster beetle body that was thrashed. I've done a lot of body work so far to modify and repair as needed. Here's is what I have. I'm thinking a light green/blue rusted through.....I need to replace the chassis with the gray frog one to match better...

I used the brat body mounts so I wouldn't have to fabricate something in the side....

Not sure what I'm going to do about a window. Thought about making windows out of sheet plastic. Don't want clear anyway....
