Vokswagen Beetle hot-rod

Mad Physicist took his VW Beetle this time to rebuild it as a hot-rod, quite popular in the US. The bodywork is mostly the same but the mudguards are gone, the suspension is lower, the front wheels have moved ahead and the roof is lower too - just like with a real one.

Favorite cars from the Mad Physicist

We already covered airplanes from the Mad Physicist (Ralph Savelsberg) (here and here), let's take a look at his cars (click on the images).

VW Bug and Mercedes "Heckflosse" alias the "Autobahn":

Shelby Cobra:

Ferrari Testarossa:

Tourist coach:

Pontiac Bonneville:

Chevy Impala:

Ford F150:

Chevrolet Camaro from Chicago City Police:

Mercury Sportsman, 1946:
Each single one is perfect. It is worth to take a look at details like the wheels - almost each one of them is different even though the scale is roughly the same. Likewise, the mirrors, etc.

Now I am only waiting for a Trabant... If I stare at these images for too long, I may build one myself...
