Today we're about to reveal our latest project that we never thought that we can accomplish.
So there we are sitting around with friends in a bright midnight sky at IKPN as always,
and we're wondering what else can we modified that are still rare in Jakarta.. Because, we're a lil' bit jammed with our bike routines. We wanted something new n fresh in our hood, something that not normal people would do. we call it a 'trend set'.
As we all wondered and joking around, we talked about to modified a vintage car into something that unusual in people's eyes. Finally, our friend (Aming) came out with a wicked idea..
He said, "why don't we make a 'rat rod' from a beetle (volkswagen)??" And he bring a few magazine from his VW collection and show a few pointer a "volksrod" look like.
For me, that is the most bad ass vintage car mod' that i ever seen..
And we all think about, and calculate it for the mod' and for the car it selves. Coz as far as we concern no one from our friends got a banned beetle on our garage...
So we search the car in the net, i got the criteria what i was looking for. Call the owner, look at the car, pay the dude, and i got my selves a beetle. YEEEAAAH!!
The car was ok, it runs in good condition, and it looks good.
I got hesitate for a while, i think maybe it's too crazy to make a rod from my beetle. And i don't know any custom body works who ever done a rod before.
But then, i realize that is the point of it. That's the beauty and the challenge. So i decided to tore it down into pieces, and make a "ROD" out of it.
The modification...
And the story will continue... stay tune!
