I wonder if Ztnoo Steve had anything to to with this.
I know how into the Country Buggy he is.
Dosn't look bad either. Makes me think.

Bill,
Damn....somebody beat me to it!!!
It wasn't or isn't me........but I have to say it looks pretty niffty.
If someone is making this out of plywood......maybe its a form of some sort for a mold, they have done a nice job. I say that as a trim carpenter.
The rear top deck area isn't quite the stock look, but everything else looks in good proportion.
Making this model out of wood demonstrates how simple the lines of the CB are. Someone has spent a fair amount of time fabricating this thing
I'll be interested to see how this project proceeds.
Regards,
Steve

Hi
You don't normally see how clean and easy the lines of the country buggy are...
all He has to do is cover it with steel.... lol
or maybe glass fiber..
I'll be looking to see how He mounts the bumpers....
then again, I suppose they will be made from wood also...

He should get that up off the ground.......Termites would eat it quick-smart.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
