In a quality equal to his Hendrix tribute Bus, this is perfect for those Beatles foursome fans! To see the rest of THIS one, choose from the following: the display, the passenger side graphics and the top! |
These are the handywork of lacroix998@aol.com. They represent the variety of Customized Buses seen throughout these Pages. 4 out of 5 of these were the work of one individual. That purple one is found in the 30th Anniversary Collector's CD-Rom software! |
This is courtesy of djcozzi@worldnet.att.net and may be a candidate for possible Tropicana promotion! Bring it on! |
This was a very thorough and exceptionally-done piece. The flames may look too perfect to not be stickers, but that is just a complement to the handywork of its artist! E-mail the Artist! |
Can't get enough of the S'Cool Bus and VW Bus customs? This one is sure to please, also. Take a look! Also, another angle for your viewing pleasure. Please e-mail the creator |
Here is another view! |
Expert cutting and a flair for the aesthetically-pleasing are trademarks of djcozzi's masterpieces. The shiny body is an original 21-Window S'Cool BusŪ custom touch! More photos are available HERE and HERE! |
The rear view can be SEEN HERE. E-mail Tony HERE |
Check-out the use of those rare and yellow-colored "Turbo" wheels! You can also see the TOPSIDE of this piece. |
It is painted with the popular American Flag-inspired paint job, and silver accents, including the wheel hubs. More angles of it can be seen here and here! |
Interesting concept in turning the dragster Bus casting into the world's quickest mail delivery vehicle. Decals were used to enhance that "fly like an eagle"--down the 1/4-mile--image! E-mail Ford Nut! |
The detailing on this one is top-drawer, down to the white-tipped flames and the red lug nuts on the rear wheels. Great job, John! |
It features a purple/silver/orange/blue paint job and some real rubber shoes. Very attractive, indeed! Street Wave Customs would love to get your e-mail about their customs. |
The customizing expertise and quality of his work are seen down to the very finest details in this outstanding piece of work. |
Yet another twist on this casting that has inspired customizers from amateur to pro. Here is a look at the Bare Chassis. Please give kudos to Bud and visit his Customs Shop. It is sure to raise your eyebrows! |
The layers of paint on this one are amazing, and the color combo of blues and oranges looks, well, "korny". |
This custom is courtesy of sizzlers4us. Great work! |
Renne has found a way to improve on an already impressive custom theme. This one features a purple paint scheme with multiple-color highlights. That flip-open bed is very trick! More pics of it are here, here and here! Also, you can see more of Renne's work on Page #2 |
Clint has come through with a bushel-basket-full of customized Buses. Hand-painted flames are his specialty, but take a gaze and you'll see many more styles in there. There's also another view of this group. Check-out that flamed Concept 1 @ the top left of the first photo, too!
E-mail Clint. |
While the convertible angle is not a new one, leave it to Doug to find a new twist for the 'vert. Check-out those never-ending front fenders. Flawlessly done, and shiny chrome Racing ChampionsŪ wheels to boot! |
This is from another new-found VW customizing artist. Try giving coolcustom@aol.com a quick note to say how you like his work on this one and the others below! |

This is another taste of what can be done to make this dragster-inspired casting look even more pavement-ripping. Other race-graphicked Buses can be found on page #2 |
Wondering what another way the 1996 FE Bus could have gone? This is VERY a believable look. |
|
A brown-colored, whiskey bottle laiden custom. Fitting it's placed on this page by us NASCAR fans' customs... |
Boxman's M&M's Racing Bus!Some more angles of this awesome custom are here and here. Here's Boxman's e-mail address in case you wanted to get advice or an expertly crafted box. |
This well-done custom comes to us from an Ernie Irvan fan. Nice graphics scaling. See more NASCAR-inspired Buses on page #2, or just e-mail the creator. |
|
It features a clever new trend with flames. It's hard to describe, but basically the paint and the flames swap roles. Look and see! |
It has the classic flames with a pale yellow basecoat! |
This is another example of Jon's talent with the Bug casting. The orange color with black accents make for an attractive piece of work. The Cragar rims from JL help, too. |
This is just plain kewl! |
Interesting mix with the Mini Truck and VW Bug castings. The JL tires are a nice touch, too. |
Those daisies and purple color make it a very eye-pleasing piece. The wheels have been detailed, also. Take a browse at the bare chassis and another angle |
|
The paint on this one has orange up front that seems to be exposed as the paint from the rear is peeling away. |
Billy has combined that classic orange flames look with a black body color for another street-rod style Bug custom. He can be e-mailed here |
A creation born of many cars coming together to make this beaut! More views are HERE and HERE! |
Amazing what the Big ChillŪ and a Bug can be combined to create. Very nice! Take a look at the other end of it. |
Baja 1641 has a passion for the off-roading scene. Another angle of it can be seen here! |
|
Not only was the Bug body shortened, but it was given some high wheels! The red paint makes it look even sportier. Please E-mail Dan Morgan to let him know what you think! |
The engine that was too powerful to be kept inside the front of this Bug is now breaking free. See for yourself! |
This is a combo of the '32 Ford and the Bug castings. Very well done! |
This is the result of merging a Customized Chevy's pickup bed with the front of a Bug. The smaller hauler everyone would love to have! |
This is a simple-looking, yet eye-catching paint job. It would be perfect near the Jiffy Lube Racing Bus. Please e-mail the creator here! |
|
This is courtesy of hotdog7536@aol.com. It is deceptively simple-looking, which gives it a very pleasing overall effect. Hand-painted scallops--NO DECALS! |
This is a customization of the graffiti-tampoed release #171 from last year. The Racing Champions 5-spokes help make the overall Cal-Look successful! Great work, Dan. |
This is a precursor to the Way2Fast/Beetle combo trend and is equally impressive. Try visiting John's Homepage and see his other items for yourself! |
Jack has a wide variety of interests in customizing. Thankfully, VWs are a part of that list. Feel free to e-mail Jack about his work. |
Another trend-setting use of graphics on this Bus. Paint is also excellent. It was created by Danny Reyes of Cleveland, OH and currently sitting next to the Elvis Bus not just on the customized VWs pages, but at the home of Ralph Cady. Thanks for sharing the info, Ralph! See Ralph's website at http://hometown.aol.com/kingcycle/myhomepage/index.html. |
Created by the same 2 limbs of Danny Reyes that brought you the "Barbie Bus," this is a tribute to the King of Rock. Great work! |
This beauty comes to us as one of many customs from 64th Avenue Customs. It's made from a VW Bug casting, NOT a redline! Hard to tell, right? It has a Carson Top-looking roof, crystals for headlights, and many other mods. You can also E-mail Mark to let him know what a great job he did . Thanks, Mark! |
These are two versions of this theme. One is the simple all-white Bus, and the other has more detail, if you lQQk closely . This is another contribution from 64th Avenue customs. |
The Bug features a kewl pink paint job with flower graphics and JL 5-spokes. Please see more of G's customs at his Customs Website or E-mail G, if you want one made! |
Nice graphics applied to this Bus that also shows flames along the bottom edges, but who notices? Here's another view. e-mail the artist here! |
It has the very difficult-to-cut wedge top on it, reminiscent of the Hot WheelsŪ 1996 FE VW Bus. The wheels go perfectly, with the pink paint and rear/front detailing. E-mail JPS here! |
The amount of work going into this beast is just mind-boggling. It has, among other things, VW emblems on the center of the wheels, and a reworked rollcage to allow the Concept 1 body to fit on the Bigfoot chassis. Please E-mail Mike to heap on the praise. He also has a couple of different scale Scooby-Doo Buses on #2! |
This shows what the Beach Bomb might look like if the modern Bus casting was used to make it. These roof surfboards are more real-world-like. Here's the other end. Please e-mail the artist! |
It comes from the home of justhws@aol.com. Very well thought-out as far as graphics use! |
This is the first time someone has removed the rear glass of the Bug to put a surfboard through it. What is the creator's name/e-mail/webpage? |
Please e-mail Robertz Customs and let him know your thoughts about this simple, yet eye-catching custom! |
A rear view is here. Excellent way to make the rear-engined Bug look quicker than ever. |
He took an innocent Bug, relocated the engine up front, and gave it gold-rimmed RRs. Very simple, but gobs o' power! |
This is to commemorate the computer manufacturer's struggle to be the first with the 1 GHZ processor. Those are very intricate vinyl graphics. Great concept! |
This beauty features paint that was carved into after drying for 3 weeks to make it look as though it was wooden, not metal. Photos don't do a good job at showing the effect, but this method is a first-time for the Customized VWs Pages! Green-swirl paint job enhances the wood-carved appearance. Please e-mail the artist with YOUR thoughts! |
