*Interesting Fact:* I spent 7 hours looking for the right music to suit this video, I think I listened to every song on 2 music websites, trying to find the best song to fit Herbie's happy, quirky personality, not sure if I could have found better, but after 7 hours I felt this music was good enough.

200+ hp on a car that weighs about 1800lbs is nutty. Doubt it's over 1900 even with all the upgrades, and the roof removes a bit of weight too.

It's very close to the original. The original was a 1966. It just needs the VW emblems on the hubcaps and the hood. The original was also left hand drive. Not much you can do about that living in a country were you all drive on the left side of the road. Great job! You've inspired me to go work on my own classic.
@HeathsGarage4 жыл бұрын
Bob Adams Herbie was actually a 1963 ragtop beetle and for the first few movies the VW badges had to be removed as Volkswagen wasn’t very keen on the idea - once the Herbie franchise took off the badges went back on for later movies and tv series
@bobadams1794 жыл бұрын
@@HeathsGarage Maybe it was the later movies they used a 1966. I could be wrong, Still you've done a great job. I think VW should lighten up. This car is an a complement to them. You'd think they'd be proud.

@@WonderWorldYTC the letters when the wheel rotates looks like a fluttering film strip. I was thinking if they put a comic strip instead then when the wheel rotates the image would look like its moving. The letters can only be read when the car us stopped. And a person would have to look upside down to see it all, so that really defears the image. And it takes away from Herbie by the confusing letters going round and round. Just put whitewalls on and I think it would look perfect. But thats my unwanted opinion. Other than that the Bug is awesome.

Tim Cantrell You are right, in the love bug with Buddy Hackett Herbie didn’t have tyre lettering. Herbie goes to Monte Carlo (which mine is based on) ran these Goodyear GT Radials - so to be screen accurate I had to fit them. Obviously they were really going for the 70’s race car look with the white tyre lettering
