Very nice combo of the Baby Bommer® chassis and MB's 21-window Bus. Check-out another photo of the bus here. |
V-Man's latest theme shows-up again on this beautifully-executed Silver Bomb Pro-Streeter. See more photos of the rear and the side (showing grass-scraping lowering job)! |
V-Man's Pro-Street Candy-Apple Red Rear-Loading Beach Bomb!The titl says it all! See more photos: showing the bottom-side and of the rear-end. Way to go Vince "Big Dwag" Mosley! |
V-Man's newest passion of customizing the Beach Bomb may raise a few eyebrows with the die-hard collectors. I know it's refreshing seeing someone take a new approach with an old favorite. Some other photos can be seen: of the side, of the rear, the top of the same-type custom, but painted purple and the side view of the purple version. |
Only looking at the photos can do it justice, words are useless with this kind of detailing and masterful customizing: Photo #1...Photo #2...Photo #3...Photo #4...Photo #5...Photo #6...and finally: Photo #7. Impressive and sure to be inspirational! |
Again! Believe it or not another jaw-dropper from this past Hot Wheels Convention's "Big Dawg Award" winner. Here are the utterly amazing photos: Photo 1 ... Photo 2 ... Photo 3 ... Photo 4 and Photo 5. |

Sarapart comes through again with this custom, along with the customs on Page #7. Other detail photos show the chassis and the body opened-up. You can e-mail sarapart here!. |
Very well-done and looks like it would be right at home at a VW car show! Seafoam green-and-white 2-tone is very attractive. Another view is showing the top-side. |
Nicely-done flames on one of the most popular themes done when customizing the Bus, next to NASCAR teams and beer. See another photo of the top-side. |
Nicely done version of what Miller beverages' racing Bus might look like, at a larger scale! Check-out other photos of its top-side and the driver's side. |
|
Very nice work on this Way2Fast-meets-Bug custom. Matching trailer is a work of art in itself. Yellow paint and orange flame...you just can't go wrong! More photos:of the Bug itself and of the Bus-based hauler |
Excellent representation of the '96 FE Bus in Beach-Bomb clothing, side-mounted boards included! More photos were provided by Weav: the bare chassis, the display (custom box) and the top-side view! Oh, yeah. Nice. |
|
This one is decked-out with a wild yellow base coat, plum Speed Spray-inspired graphics and even a matching trailer! Nice background custom, too! You can also see another photo of the rear-end. |
Very well done. So much so that it's hard to tell it really IS the 1:18 scale bus. This side-by-side helps make the differences clear. Great job again! |
|
This is a very sharp set that actually uses the original Custom VW casting. Updated, of course. See some more show-off angles by browsing here: the Bus' chassis, the rear-end view and the side |
|
|
Very-well executed rendition of what a Hot Wheels® VW Bus would look like in an ambulance outfit. Some more photos were provided the bird's-eye view, a side-view and the separated halves! Impressed? No seams on this baby. |
tomanytoys4u is a frequent eBay seller and the many customs turned-out can be seen by visiting . |
|
Milkman scores another hit with this beaut! See some more of his shots highlighting the front-end, the rear-end and the body opened. Ace job on this one Milkman! |
Adalmar took a modest-looking Matchbox Bus and made it a barn-burning strip-ripper! You can get a better look at the rear-end! Nice work. |
Very nice, different angle to go. Seems to suit it just fine, also see the back of it! Nice job for your first appearance on the Customized VWs Pages! |
|

|
Nice use of white walls to make this one really look like a sophisticated road-burning 1/4-miler. More photos are available showing the top and showing the chassis! Well done. |
Cartunz has a nice, low-impact Ferrari-type Bus. Kind of a Ferrarinugen-Light. Check-out a couple of other angles provided by Cartunz: the rear-end and the front-end!. |
For those of you wanting the next-best thing, take a look at Ken McClellan's contribution to the Customized VWs pages! Here's a front-side photo. Pretty well done, indeed. |
This set is what Kustom Kreations thinks Mattel® should have done with the limited-edition VW set to have done justice to the present and former VW castings. I definitely think this is better than what is actually to be released! |
Another looker from Kustom Kreations with another photo of it HERE! |
It uses the Corgi casting and an engine from the Tee'd Off®. Very nice end-look! |
The inevitable combo of the Surfin' School Bus and VW Bus (well, just the VW's front-end). Makes for a nice hauler for all your surfin' buddies and the 'boards. See more wire-wheeled views of this creation: the rear-end, the display box and the bird's-eye view! |
Nice rendition of what MB's newest Bus casting would look like as a rear-loading surfboard Bus. Please e-mail Vintage Joe here! |
|
Beautiful variation on the classic black base and rad flames theme. The wheels highlight the classic rod anthem happening here. Gene provided another view that can be seen here. |
Very cleanly done with a nice set of Weld® wheels. |
This is another appearance by the 1:18 scale Bus. Gray marble-type base coat with a Speed Spray-like 3-D pink & purple graphic. Additional photos show the following: the rear angle, the right side's graphics and the top-side. |
The detailing of the paint is amazing. That's not a marbled basecoat, those are skulls. Look closely... |
Check it out all you Spawn fans from the different angles: the rear-end and from the top. Excellent graphics use. |
JnJ's comes-out with a custom-within-a-custom! Take a different view of this custom from a bird's-eye view. |
Here is another representation of the ChromaLusion paint job, JnJ Customs-style. Another batch o' photos provided by JnJ Customs are provided looking at engine detail, more of the paint/graphics job and the body opened-up! Beautiful work here. |
|
The long-overdue versions of a possible Final Run Bus. More pics show the rear-end and the overall display setup! Nice concept, morbid theme, though. |
Qwik was inspired by both the nostalgia of the Bus' casting and the interesting heritage of the Skyshow theme. See more photos of the rear and this one of the front-end. |
Very tastefully done and nice choice of colors on this one. Please heap-on the praise by e-mailing Grass Shack or by heading over to Grass Shack Customs! |
Stretching the imagination along with this Bus, Milkman adds a tough-to-do twist on this one by using WORKING headlights. More views of the amazing custom follow: the entire set, the headlights in action and the chassis exposed! Bravo! |
Ver nice, cleanly-modified VW Crewcab. Looks like the 1:18 scale is finally coming into its own. |
Good use of the Concept 1 'vert. Somehow surfboards are just naturally drawn to Vee-dubs. Another picture can be seen from another angle! |
|
Simple-looking, but many mods like a new engine , shaved lower body panels and a lowered overall stance w/ new 6-spoke wheels. The lowered stance is also evident in this picture. Please fell free to e-mail RPMart here! |
Very nice with the realistic rims from Matchbox's Premiere set. More photos of it show the rear-end and its side. |
It shows what happens when a Cabbin' Fever® is mated with a '96 FE Bus. Voila'! Nice matching Bug, also. Here are some photos of the rear and the Hauler fully loaded |
Very nice cherry red and white surfer's dream Bus. 4ord40 has many customs throughout these Customized VWs Pages. |
This looks to be pretty shweeeeet custom, too bad this is the only photo of it. Nice purple/black paint. |
Chris privded this array of photos showing the many customized Bajas he has created, please browse the following photos: photo #1, photo #2, photo #3 and photo #4. Please e-mail Chris Thomas here |
Check-out other views of: the rear-endand the front-end. Nice to see some fresh, simple ideas for the under-rated MB VW Bus casting. Thanks Race Nut! |

Autonut shows us his variety of interests with this Herbie 1:64 replica, one of his favorites. See also the rear view! |

RA2 comes-out with his first custom on these pages and it's a beaut! See more angles of its rear-end and the front-end. Very nice accompanying box, also! |

Whyzdumb does it again for the low-profile customizing scene. A mild repaint, paint job and Hot Wheels® 3-spokes make this Maisto® casting look like it could be cruising on the opposite side of the interstate at any day now. Other photos of the boulevard cruiser can be seen showing the rear-end and the profile shot. |
Looking like it was meant to be parked next to the Blue Lowriding Bug to the left, here is Whyzdumb's Lowriding Jetta! See other angles of it here showing the front and here showing the side. |
