A larger version of the Mystery Machine (VW Bus style) complete with lowrider whitewalls and lace rims! That graphic treatment is very accurate, too. Great job! |
Here's the first VW custom from the Capt. Let him know how great it is here! See more of customs and his site here!These are hand-done flames. |
Capt. Jim Bob's Purple Fade Bug! There is a delicate fading paint job on this one from light-to-dark purple. The Cal-look is in full force from the ragtop sunroof to the lowered stance. |
Jon's Christmas Bus!Here is a professional customizer's rendition of the Christmas Bus that should've been... |
Jon's Harley Bus!Here is Jon's response to the question of "What if Harley-Davidson made an LE Bus?" I think they would approve. |
Night's Customs' Shock City Bus!The graphics on this one are absolutely amazing and would be the centerpiece of a collection, probably. If you look closely, you may be able to see Bruce Wayne in there somewhere. Maybe not. |
This one would look right at home next to the Shock City Bus, just like in this table! |
Night's Customs' Fire Bug!See Night's Customs' Webpage HERE | Night Customs' Taz Christmas Bus!Night's Customs is known for their unique customs, and can be e-mailed here. for more info. |
This Bus is painted with a special-type paint that costs an arm and a leg per ounce. The color changes when the light reflects differently. Holy Flip flop, Batman! |
|
This is an exercise in custom paint on top of custom paint. It is successful in every way. |
This is Bear's rendition of the Way-2-Fast and Bug combo. Yet another nice creation from Bear! |

Hot Customs Dodge/Bus Dragster!Check-out the different angles on this beaut here and here |

First Strike Customs' Pink Bus!This is a great, simple color combo using those highly-prized 5-spoke PC wheels! See the First Strike Homepage for yourself for more customs or info on restorations! |
First Strike Customs' White Racing Bus!This is another creation at the artist with First Strike Customs. See the BUS OPENED-UP! |
Funny Car Bug!Take a look at those rhinestone headlights and tubbed rear wheels. Please feel free to e-mail the artist about their work! |
These are very professionally done, and the boxes they are pictured in look as authentic as they can get. The two look like they were made for a two-some LE set. Please use THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS to let him know what you think! I love it! |
This is Loren's first major attempt at a custom Bus, and the outcome seems to complement his taste and concept very well. Great going, Loren! |
This Bus has a unique wheel not seen before on the Bus. It seems to be inspired by the real saltflat-racer-type of wheel covering. The stripes looked like they required a little TLC to get them just right, also. |
TerryL.'s "Bugs-2-Fast"!This is the car that inspired RPM to take a chance on customizing--now I'm hooked! |
TerryL.'s "Way-2-Buggy"!Another way to customize using the Way2Fast and the Bug! |

Hot Customs Blue "Bugout"A variation to that asphalt-rippin' Antifreeze Bugout. Here is the under-side, and a view from the top side. Man, if only I had the patience & talent... |
Hot Customs Bus Pickup #2!This is another based on the rage started by the first Bus-based pickup, featured on the 1st installment of this Custom VWs Page. It's a must see! Another couple of views of this green wonder are available here and here |
Hot Customs JL Bus! Here's a great example of what can be done with a simple paint job, wheel change and graphics. Very schweet! |
Those graphics are more than Mattel themselves can handle, or are they? I smell a challenge... |
7-spoke Red/White Slime Bus!I do not know who made this one. If you do, let RPM know! Thanks! |
|
This is a replica from the early days when the VW Buses were harder to get, but I still like the originality in the color and wheel combo. |
Sal's Yellow Bus!Sal's latest addition is this yellow wonder with a new style of VW emblem on the roof. Yet another eye-popper, Sal! |
Nice use of similar-toned paint. You can't lose with a flame theme these days, and this one proves it! You can E-MAIL DRAGGERT to heap-on the praise. |
This one utilizes actual Chezoom teal color, along with a few others. Some more angles of it are HERE and HERE. Those are repro redlines on the front, also. Onsiterv can be E-MAILED HERE. Great work! |
Nice mixture of bits and pieces for a very unified, retro-look. The paint may have been tricky, but the final coats sure do look good! |

|
ScaryMr1's BusterAnother view is available here. This is his latest version of what has turned-out to be a string of hits for his customizing fans. Great job once again! |
Very unique and well-done custom, that would be hard to imitate |
This is probably the first custom VW using the CONVERTABLES VW Bug version. Niiiiice |
This is a radical custom that must have taken longer than it would take this car to hit the end of the 1/4 mile. I think. Also, HERE is a pic of the front of this monster. |
Bryan's S'Cool Bus!Very interesting concept of mating the S'Cool Bus appearance with the VW Bus' casting. Great idea! |
This is sweet, and that top is the most accurate I have seen! |
This is another version of a very popular custom theme, and this one incorporates the flames and JL wheels nicely |
Bryan's Way2Fast® Bug!This is another in the theme of Way2Fast®/VW Bug combos. Well done, with the complex paint job too boot! It was purchased by Eric Matson, the very proud owner. Look at a shot of it at home IN THE BP! |
Bryan's "7-Up" Concept 1!This is a very beliveable idea for a "7-Up" limited. Nice work! |
Very authentic and accurate paint work on this custom. The JL rubber wheels really highlight the fit and finish, too. Excellent execution. Visit Bryan's WEBSITE to see more of his custom work. |
Bryan's Custom Baja Bug set! |
The most striking parts of this creation are the lack of front roof pillars, and the paint job. |
The execution here is great and captures the spirit of the Beach Bomb's form. Another angle is HERE Please E-mail Doug to get the scoop on Da Bomb! |
More angles of this one are HERE and HERE. Thanks for the additions! |
Way2Fast + VW Bug = "Big Dawg"
I like the detailed bodywork here. |
This is a very clean and beliveable answer to: "What if the modern VW Bug casting were made back in 1968?" HERE is a pic of it in a 25th Anniversary package. Also, HERE is a close-up of the button made for the BP. Very well done! |
This features a lot of bodywork to make a visor and fender skirts. The graphics are also pretty trick, even ON THE FRONT! |
This is a very unique and attractive piece |
This one has been given 40's Woodie fenders, and the rear has been filled along with many, many more custom touches. Please e-mail the creator of this piece to heap on the praise! More views are here and here |
Orangecrush's Yellow/Scalloped Bug with PCs! |
Interesting variation on the tried-and-true flames/primary color theme. You can e-mail BBL here! |
Nice concept of creating that tye-dye look, from front-to-back. |
