I dug really dip into my stash this morning, and finally found a suitable driver for this object!

Had to split the rear part of the body to make it work out with the sectioned sidepanels. The front half of the new, scratchbuilt frame was a tad to wide. So I narrowed it and now I'll have to make 2 notches in the lower lip of the front "valance" as the frame is supposed to be shown up front where I'll make a gooseneck attachment for the front axle.

Had to do another "mock-up" ...and now, HERE COMES THE REAL HARDCORE!!!! Let's do some serious plastic surgery to the bone stock Monogram 1960's styrene body! 3/16" was cut out and thrown in the trash-bin!

Almost done with the "strait jacket"..... It's all just scrap plastic for the arms/jacket and "wooden leg". No putty used so far.

i LIKE THE STEAM ROLLER FRONT WHEELS BETTER... OOoops caps Well, in a way I do to... but then I found these and they kinda works better with the theme and the era, so the spoked ones will stay. I do have several more strange VW's to build so don't worry, the "steamroller-wheels" will come in handy further on

Thanks, no I didn't win but - that's not the reason I build and participate. I do it entirely for the fun of it! And often I also use the "quick builds" over christmas as mules, to practise new ideas in building!
