This is a nice lightly used monster beetle that will be a runner with hopups.

Nice car Mike. Are you going to throw some of those custom aluminum rims on it?

Nice Beetle you got there Mike. I always liked those green shocks on a beetle or blackfoot. Those wheels will look sweet on there.

They are a very smooth shock and hard to find but i got two cars this week with them.

Here is my style of wheels that will be mounted on this when it is done. I have enough parts that i think i will build two beetles. One original and one with sand scorcher decals.

Well i have most of it all cleaned and ready to be re-assembled but i decided to make it more stock and have sold the trinity shocks and have the robinson rear for sale since i ordered the new scorcher. I will have some pics up soon.
