  • Wow man, that's a sweet ride.

  • Sick car. I like the tilted iron cross... may as well be a swastika lololol

  • THAT is freaking cool!

  • what a cool car i saw it on facebook sweet

  • Sick ride dude!! That thing sounds and looks menacing! I personally think the VW is a perfect car for the modern hot rod ethos...being one of the most prolific cars ever built, parts are cheap and easy to find. Perfect canvas for customizing, and it'll get better MPGs than your flathead. Plus i've seen beetles that run 10's

  • drive it to the nearest scrappy m8.best thing u could do with that!

  • nice alloy rims, dude!

  • No mirrors = LIKE A BOSS HELLS YEA !

  • better than Ferrari

  • Looks nice, but why so much negative camber on the front and so much positive camber on the back?

  • @StevoVsDanny you got that backwards bud. Positive in front, negative in back

  • @1WOODYHAYES Oh shit yeah, cause it goes by the top of the tyre :')

    my bad, but yeah why so much?

  • @StevoVsDanny thats just how voltswagons are.

  • amazing sound

  • Great job, looks pretty cool

  • i'll take this over any boxters!

  • Love it!

  • Oh' shit... I love this sound :D

  • now thats heavy metal

  • Man thats a nice looking chop job. I'm doing research...for my next project.

  • really HOT ROD!!!! Good job, keep it up!

  • Nice beetle you got there! I like the color !

  • sooo sick

  • What's up with the massive camber, dude?

  • Wicked Bug,Dude I,m going to RatRod a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Coupe

  • black and white with a 40's police paint job. yeeeaaaaah.

  • fuck yeah nice job

  • @kronikally420 ......Oh hells yeah....Thanks for the comment!!!

  • @kronikally420

    Hmmm...

    DEAR SANTA, I finally know what i want for christmas.....

  • nice

    

  • DAMN That's one nasty sounding flat 4 you got there! Damn too-bad cars today have to be all "Fast and Furious" and gay. For some reason people would rather parade around in an ugly ass pink honda with a fart canon muffler, and a 747 spoiler. What-ever happened to roding? It remained popular with young people from the dawn of the 20th century until the 90's correct me if I'm wrong?

    Anyway, that's an awesome bug you have there I would love to take it out for a spin!

  • pretty nice could use a little more work to look real nice

  • i'm from brazil and i wish i could see some cars like that around here :T its beautiful!! ;D wish i had the money :T

  • awesome ride dude congratulations

  • dont usually like chopped up bugs, but this is so cool, i have to have a more open mind now lol, that thing is so cool dude, good work! :)

  • @476ross ......Thanks I get alot of haters with this car.....but y'know what I dont care cuz I have found that 99% of those people that talk shit drive Prius's and cant build custom rides...Ha

  • @therodskuuts well the car actually looks darn cool if you ask me! didn't think a stripped beatle hot/rat rod could turn out this nice

  • @476ross it would have been even more delisious if it was all black, pluss metal over weels.

  • thats a mean car!

    

  • a skinheadcar :D

  • why is there an iron cross?

  • Dude, that's sweet.. I'm gonna have to find me a V-Dub to chop!

  • @Tramsootru thanks for the comment it was fun.

  • Man, that car is so badass!!

  • Nice ride guy

  • nice work, mate!

  • i love the rat look.never seen a rat look car in england though :( shitty britain lol.would love to see any links of some though

  • Father of all cars :O awesome Man :O

  • Coolest Bug i ever saw . Thumbs HIGH up :-)

  • thats a shit load of negative camber man must be steady as hell on the strip

  • Really nice lines with the roof chop and I'm loving the 2 tone paint. Nicely nicely!

  • beatiful!!!! =D fav'd

  • Mean as hell!

  • Now that is fucking creative,very nice work on the car bud.

    Don't mind what the idiots say,they won't ever own anything like this.

  • if you won't let me buy it , i'm gonna steal it

  • Damn THAT LOOKS GOOD!

  • Still, if only there was an easy way to correct VWs horrible rear-wheel camber issue when you lower them. I have the same issue on my lowered 78 and I hate it.

  • that is fucking beautiful. I want one.

  • wow you made a P.O.S into a kick ass ride very very nice work

  • Lol. Rear wheels must have great traction. Whats the camber on that?

  • love it, fuck the haters

  • BAD ASS MAN LOVE IT

  • I bet its fast as hell for being a beetle too

  • Awesome! I just bought a really nice '73...I can't wait to start cutting it up!

  • Oh shit look at that rear wheel camber...

    He'll have no tread in no time!

  • the car looks great. and the emblem on the right door: NAZI-WAGON!!! :D

    and yeah, that's not bad, it adds to the looks of the car :)

  • did you buld it if so how difficult was it awesome rod

  • how easy was the right hand drive swap? I've been thinking about doing that after I chop mine up. love the bug by the way. very badass and to hell with anyone who says otherwise.

  • Nice job, finally a VW that looks Badass enough to not be called a chicks car.

  • Make my vw look like this

  • wow you just made a awsome car more awsome :D

  • It's a volkwagon not a restored chevelle nice car

  • Absolutely loved it!

  • damn that thing is nice, its hard to tell what year it is but im guessing its a early 60's? only thing i would do to it is put a thin white wall on the tyres

  • Duuuuuuuuuuude. No rear window. That's boss

  • That looks MAD :D

  • Thats badass

  • thats friggin ludicrous! love it

  • damn thats badass bro nice build

  • I was going to do similar to my bug, but when it arrived it was near mint so didn't want to chop it up :P

  • Thats friggin awesome

  • @Cincinnatification Hey Thanks for the comment

  • This is one evil looking car... It's awesome.

  • Thanks for ruining a great car....

  • @madjimms I enjoyed cutting it up ,hanks for the comment.

  • @therodskuuts Well, I'm glad you didn't put some horrid US built engine in it at leased.

  • @therodskuuts are you the guy that is driving the car ?

  • @madjimms shut up looks like a dragster dragsters are cool

  • @titanicboy477 no... they look like crap

  • @madjimms They made 21 million of them, there are still plenty that aren't "ruined". I think this one is pretty sweet, and I don'r really like bugs.

  • @wickedmuffin76 The open wheels don't look good & the chopped roof makes it look like an American POS.

  • Bad ass!!! I got a '73 I want to do something similar with.....

  • my neighbors got one of these that mother fucker wakes me up whenever he takes it to work i love it tho.. ima have to run my 97 250 open header to shut his ass up

  • thats the scariest damn go-kart i've ever seen.

  • hey nice volksrod.......how much do those back tires cost?

  • ugly as hell ! :(

  • @suharinos haha exactly what its supposed to be

  • @suharinos Take a look at what you drive.....lets see your building skills Sucka!

  • @therodskuuts I like it mate nice build good to do something different

  • @suharinos Lets be honest, It looks DECENT Not ugly, But also not PERFECTION. Nice vid btw I like the design

  • @suharinos your a hater buddy you wish you had that car

  • @suharinos its not ugly just u have a different taste than some of us...it takes true taste to appreciate and have the ability and craftsmanship to build a beauty like this :)

  • @suharinos well ur mum is ugly, but i still let her suck me off!!!

  • dear santa.....

  • dude what kind of exhaust you got on that thing it sounds bad ass

  • i  want

  • Dubs and rat rods....my two most favorite things.....I'd cream my pants if a cafe racer showed up in the vid.....

    Nice car, nice job on it....Hope to show mine on here soon :D

    Have you ever been to southern worthersee or bug-a-palooza with it?

  • people its an old vw swing axel setup they hang out like that when u lower the torsion bars  nothing wrong with it I had 2 of them one 65 and 68 bug

  • daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn...

  • That is sick!!!!

  • what kinda engine is that?

  • pretty cool!

  • Bravo bother now this is a car :)

  • love the look!!

  • Is the windshield a rear window out of something?

  • Thing looks pretty bad-ass.

  • I like aircooled VW´s very much ! How cool must it be to own such an extraordinary one. It looks a bit like the hotwheels one ! ;-)

  • If I had to guess, I would say that the Neg Camber on the rear wheels is that way due to suspension geometry limitations of the lowered stance...

    Quote of the day "Fully engage Brain, before putting mouth in gear."

  • I want it

  • i like how when he reverses he looks behind "oh yeh theres no window" opens the door lol

    nice motor mate, i think itd look cool if you could make the bonnet longer, do you still have it?

  • What;s the point of 12 inch slicks if they are going to be s cambered in that only 3 inches of them are touching the pavement?

  • thats badass....

  • awsome stuff.......!

  • Very cool! I love the haters too!! ha ha

  • Very cool- I love the air intakes- are those weber 48's?

  • Whats up, Howie mandel?

  • fucking sick

  • look up camber angle on wiki.

  • WOW! At first i thought it had an "8" in it ! LOVE THAT "RUMBLE !!! "KOOL !!"

  • awwsome car

  • Dope ride. Love all the clueless comments on here.

  • Great Job on the beetle :-)

  • Whoops, sorry for the double post.

  • Gotta love people commenting on VW's that know nothing about them. If I hear one more person say that a lowered swing axle Bug has a "broken" rear end, or bent wheels I'm gonna flip. Do some reading and then post comments. Love the car by the way.

  • What does "sectioned 5 inches" mean?

  • What's wrong with the back tires? they look screwed up...

  • Negative camber is freakin AWESOME!

  • But it is nothing but an UGLY piece of shit.

  • good looking volksrod

  • wow that is actually pretty awesome

  • rat rods arent supposed to be perfect and shinny! as for the rear camber...its a v-dub! get over it!

  • People that don't understand cars and who aren't mechanically inclined should not be leaving comments on car videos when they clearly don't understand what they are looking at.

  • @secnpa well i am mechanically inclined but i still dont understand what im looking at or why the back tires would be sitting at angles like that, but i know it shouldnt and id say theres a problem with it, something maybe not set right from that insane lower

  • @AngelofDeath199 it looks like that because the back end is a transaxle and the cars been dropped around it,the same effect as bottoming out.it buggers the camber up.there are ways around it but i dont think the muppet knows how to.or he would have.its crap like that that brings about type approval laws.

  • This is the sweetest thing Iv seen in a while.. Got any tips on choppin the top on a vw?

  • why wouldnt u buy american u douch

  • beast!!

  • nice nazi mobile

  • Get the back wheels readjusted so they aren't bent it may just be u tightened them on wrong but still nice but really get that checked out

  • @fuzzybluehatwearer Bent Wheels? Ur a Dumb ass!

  • that is sweet... great job dude.. you are the man!

  • Nice ride man. I think that people who know nothing about the mechanics of cars shouldn't post uneducated responses. You really should get those back wheels fixed. JUST KIDDING!!!! I love the car.

  • Looks wicked as hell, sounds even more so.Awesome ride.

  • looks cool

  • hey dipshit the wheels of a bug are angled like that its how there made

  • yea i would be embarrassed to drive it to

  • I'd like to see you go highway speeds with that thing...Those wheels look like they are about to pop off 'cause of the weight.

  • @TonyLozada27 Ya its a real heavy car......1150 lbs..... ooh... whatch out! watch my I-5 southbound video and you can see it going Highway speeds!

  • @therodskuuts Its called sarcasm buddy...I know it doesn't weigh much...I was making fun if the fact that your tires look like they are in an angle just from the weight, meaning either you didn't tighten your lugg nuts enough or you just have a shitty axle.

  • @therodskuuts that thing is nice

  • @TonyLozada27 Yes, yes thats it, the Volkswagen motor is very very heavy, took a year to fab up the transplant too.

  • @TonyLozada27 the wheels are like that because he dropped the torsions on the rear end buddy know your cars before you criticize one thats bad ass

  • @TonyLozada27 dude its called camber... imagine a normal car, just without guards! tudaa.. its not like they are stuck on with sticky tape... some people have no mechanical knowhow whatsoever, then say stupid things.

  • @TonyLozada27 its called camber.

  • @TonyLozada27 Hellaflush...lol

  • were you blindfolded while doing the alignment lol

  • @supersupra101 yeah.....I was blindfolded .....ya tard! Its a fuckin VW not a GodDamn Corvette!

  • @supersupra101 Ever heard of Rear Camber?

  • @k9forkids ever hear of camber wear and feathering?

  • @supersupra101 AND? Whats your point? this aint no $90K Mercedes, it is a fucking Rat Rod! Get over it
