One less item to wax.
Whos gonna sand all the paint off there Aveo hood first?
It is big with the VW guys too. It is only a matter of time before people get tired of buying new hoods.
my next mod! :lol:
its a carry over from "hoodride" which are truely rebuilt air cooled vw chassis', with bodies taken straight from the junk yard.
but with all trends there are nut swingers that think it looks good with everything.. there are even new mercedes that are airbrushed to look like rusty planes...
while my 75 rabbit is "unrestored" body for now with a new drive train, its not that. Although i do have a NOS hood sitting in my back yard under a down spout with an even surface of rust i could through on an be a vw superstar..
must be a new ricer thing :lol:
Ricer? Ghetto? Whatever you want to call it.
i call it ick!
I love it, but I've been a VW freak for 20 years... :lol:
hey ClintCart, i've had my fair share of vw's too, and i dont mind an original bug with a nice weathered patina on it, but that hoodride look is offensive to me. just my 2 cents.Quote:

a real hoodride is different from the hoodride look that has swept the nation...
Make a nice pattern and clear coat that crap :mrgreen:
look at that poor beetle!
interesting...
the whole basis is saving something that would otherwise not be saved.Quote:

look at the before pictures... and see what the did, thing is fully redone mechanically.
that was just beyond horrific for me. i cant see stuff like that!Quote:
