yep.. it's done & tested.. well be season Premiere in August,
Here's a lil' info
"Ron Lummus NHRA driver on the team as a special guest on the popular Discovery Channel show Monster Garage to turn a few wrenches with host Jesse James to help transform an innocent 1951 Beetle into what will surely become an intense, jaw-dropping machine.


James hand-picked Lummus to assist with this project since he brings years of knowledge and experience as well as one characteristic that separates him from all other candidates.

While few details of the project have been released, one can only speculate that between Lummus’ experience and James’ imagination , the 1951 Bug will quickly become a terrifying über-Beetle."

Look for Lummus on the Monster Garage fall season premier at the end of August on the Discovery Channel.

BugNbox is none other than Randy from TVA. I can't wait to see your build man! I have spent a small fortune buying stuff from your store.

Side note, once this show airs MG will have built all three of my cars into monsters. Is that a record or something?
I own a 2000 New Beetle, a 1960 Beetle, and a 1964 Lincoln Continental.

It was tough seeing the lincoln chopped in half. I hope the Split fares better. I am sure you guys took great care of it.

Happy VWing,

James

Do you know what kind of paint that was that they used on the car? I can't find any info on it and would like to do that to my car.
Thanx for any info.
