[MOC] - Hotrod + Hotrod + Hotrod + VW van ;)

[nunofilipe72]

Since I can remember, I always liked transformed cars , but in my country custom a car is almost as criminal as to kill someone...

And what better way, safe and legal to customize a car..... if not in LEGO?

... and better than one ... how about four ?!?!

The first , the Green Hotrod

It began with the viewing of a MOC from Norton74, the T-Bucket, I thought, "I have to do a similar"

So, I had to increase "my" challenge, and imposed two conditions:

- Use all those green pieces that I rarely use

- Do not buy parts in Bricklink

First condition:

Second Condition: .... ok, ok....just 6 parts

So here it is, hope you liked

The second car is what they call, in the Custum Culture, a hightech hotrod .

It´s a hotrod with more modern lines, more fluid, but keeping the old school mechanics!

This model is not based on any car, and has the distinction of being convertible with a 100% functional hood.

The third ..... ok, the third has a short history !!

Using those wheels !!! :grin: :grin:

And finally, the VW!!

Since the LEGO launched the type 2 campervan, I intended to change those horrible tires . It looks to me , like it comes equipped with tractor tires

But it needs some big changes on the set (removing part of the engine, for example), in order to fit those tires I used ... there I have done this van from zero.

It has a look inspired by the trend "German Look" (almost standard body, big wheels, more powerful engines, big brakes....)

For those who like VW vans may think, "but is missing some windows"...

No, not missing!

Simply I chose the "9 windows" model, just because it was the version built in Portugal (VW type 2 panels came from Germany factory ,in parts, and then were assembled in Portugal, cutting two more windows on each side)

I hope you enjoy!

Wow , cool cars!

Here in Spain I didn't seen any customized cars for 4 years ... ( Not counting the recent Lamborgini Aventador (Yes I did seen it in reality) )

Love that green hotrod !! It looks like if it was taken from the "Gas Monkey Garage"

Those are really fine looking models, I like the white/blue one the most and also you black pickup VW van with chromed rims looks stunning. Good job!

Thank goodness for the NHRA here in the USA. I would hate to not see cars like this in real life. Great job on achieving the shapes. It's nice to see form over function every once in a while. Keep up the great work.

Great work on these models, they have some really nice shapes. The blue one has some very impressive SNOT techniques, it's simply stunning. Keep it up!
