This won't float everyone's boat. I've wanted to do a VW bug with Dukes of Hazzard decals since I saw one at a model show about 10 years ago. I dragged my feet on it because I wasn't sure how I wanted it to look, but after seeing some chopped Volksrods in some Facebook groups, I decided to jump in with both feet. This is my first time hacking up a kit. So far, the Dremel has been helpful. Just thought I'd enjoy some more experimenting. Here's the starting point. Some parts from the token Dukes donor kit. Thinking of something kind of like this, but chopped. Let's get started. Top is off. Decided to cut down the fenders. What do you think- small fenders or fenderless? Mock up.

I decided on three cuts so I can make the roof longer and wider, due to the chop.

Hi,
Looks like you've made a good start. Chopping the top will prove tricky as the roof has so many curves. I'd go with small fenders myself. Any updates?
