VW decklid shelf

My wife has always been a bug nut…I think I’ll copy your efforts as a surprise to her. I’m sure she’ll thank you for the posting. Cheers!

Very cool…..my 1st car was a 61 bug that I bought for $150. I later had a 66….black and red…chopped in the rear, 150hp, holly bug spray carbs, erson cam, ported and polished, straight headers, goodrich all terrain 50’s on the rear made it fun in the dirt. Used to make the muscle cars mad on the street too…:)...beaten by a bug. Wish I had never gotten rid of it….wasn’t very practical for a growing family though. Guy I sold it to totaled it two weeks after he bought it….:(

I’d love to find another early 60’s to restore but I think the wife would kill me.

Looks like a superbeetle trunk. Very cool use of spare Vdub parts. Will that sub woofer fit behind the trunk?

Very cool. I think you may have started a trend here.

What kind of trend would that be?

Thanks for the compliments. Like may woodworking projects this was not an original idea. I had actually seen it in a VW magazine. No plans, just a photo.

I have not tried to fit the sub behind it. I would guess it would rattle too much. Might try it if I find I could use the space.

I think it is from a super however my ‘73 standard deck lid looked a lot like this one.

Very unique. Way to think outside the bug.

I like it! I haven’t seen that one before. My wife won’t let me make furniture from car parts, like porch furniture made from car bench seats. I made a lamp once from an airplane engine cylinder, but she sold it in a garage sale. She doesn’t know art when she sees it.

my second beetle was a 1951 that I bought in Germany and shipped back to the US. Had it for nine years. A friend of mine sold his 51 about 2 years ago. It was a perfect mint condition one.

Wow, a 1951! I bet that went for high dollars. Especially in mint condition.
