The eightball

Hi lads,
for all people who didn't make it to Mosney. I had around 2 weeks to get my blue beetle ready for the show. Here is, with what i was there.

The FlipFlop front with the external oilcooling system

Headlights black inside

Here goes the cool air in

Here the warm air comes out

Leather seats

No back seats, but lot of music

And Eightballs all over

Switches at the dashboard

Valve caps

Door pins

On the top

All that's left is the carpet and getting the seat belts black

Hope you like it. It's total different, but it's also an eye catcher.

Nice car,unusual,but its nice to see a different take on the beetle!!
Is that extreme metelflake paint or just dead flies on the front??:)

Just flies. As u can see, an eightball is faster then a fly :rolleyes:
