Beetle Concepts

 Tried some Khaki green paint having panel beaten, cleaned back and primed one of the old damaged wings. The head lamp ring is a cheap and rusty one.
 Quite like the idea of going a bit crazy on this one, washes, stencils, scratches, rust, n all and then 2K lacquering it. But a kinda Cal Street Military fusion.
 If I go military I still want that street feel so low slung and alloys like black Fusch or BRMs would finish the look. I think the satin matt type paint really brings out its military origins.
 Its got to be one of these colours, I believe:
Khaki
Beige
Neptune Blue
Or Mouse Grey............I don't want to run a stoker so anything goes with this one.

Stripping the interior out now, evaluating what stays and what goes, there's one hell of a lot of latter modifications to these beasts but most seem so unnecessary! There is also a lot of expanding foam towards the rear, This could be Expanded Upon, excuse the pun, to increase sound proofing.
