Boyd thought after the Chrysler, they would go for a smaller footprint for their next project!!!
This is on a Scalley Audi chassis, and an 1/32 MPC kit.
Thinking resto-mod direction for this one.

Looks like the fellas have the start on a nice looking VW. The wheels look great. Regards, John

hey John you are adding fuel to the wheel discussion, in that we have some baby moons that could be apart of the wheel treatment, but they do look good as is too!!!
hmmmmm

Oh indeed the VW must have baby moons, no matter how the boyz obtain them. John

As the HRW community helps settle the debate, baby moons, larger caps, or no caps at all, the Boyz put the first coat of paint on tonight.
Going to be a two-tone with this first coat called RAF Dark Earth.
Not sure at first but it's been growing on the VW Club who stopped by to take a look and the Boyz!!

I'll vote small......the big ones would look good on a radical 356 though!

Continuing with the RAF theme this second color is RAF Green.
Planning on dullcoating it.

PS: baby moons look like the choice

I like the baby moons myself. It's looking good, and the other V dub's are cool!

the plan was/is that they would tie -in with the lense covers and back tail light surrounds.
when the boyz painted the wheels flat black, that looked good too.
then when the boyz "procured" a sample of the small and large caps from another neighborhood, then we had three choices that looked good.
will have to use Harry's famous "hot glue" to attach, so once a choice is made we can't go back to flat black, but I guess could pry off the small for the large caps if they don't look right.
Decisions, decisions!!!

I'll have to disagree on the wheels. A T1 Sedan of that period should have BRM's or if you have deeeeep pockets, Rader's. Poor people used Moon covers, wide five Minilites and Porsche 356 wheels.

Although a lot of selection process had to do with "what the neighborhood" has to offer the Boyz may be able to "get ahold" of several style wheel covers and show how both would look and not damage the current wheels
Hobby lobby has removable sticky tabs that just might allow for some trial and error before the hot glue gun gets plugged in
Back next Friday and will see if we can do some experimenting
