Volkswagen T1 Transporter Rod
This is a bit of a weird beast. I saw (what I assume was a digital creation) on Facebook about a year ago in a Lego site, with an open invitation for someone to create this in Lego.
I was curious, saved the post, and hoped to come back to it sometime later.
While not strictly a #ratrod this build nonetheless meets most of the design requirements. The body is a T1 Transporter double-cab pickup, with the rear body replaced by a spaceframe, with a mid-engined V8 race-engine. This extends the wheelbase over a standard T1, which is originally quite short. The front end is lowered significanty, tucking the wheels up into the guards.
Paintwork, rather than the standard faded/rusted look of ratrods, is a two-tome dark grey, trimmed of bumpers and trim features.
Built for #mocaroundgang 48th build chalenge for ratrods.
