Thread: Volkswagen Single Cab Street Rod with 400 Hp Chevy crate motor

Just my humble opinion.. (and we all know what opinions are like right? Yep they all stink!) but those headlights are just so... "in your face". no pun intended.. I think the lights in the horns are the only ones with a good "fit". They are there but don't detract from the overall look.

Hey! You asked so I answered. It's the only part of the build that made me pause and even the engine cover didn't trip that trigger!

Thanks for your input. If you have any concerns that I can't take a critique, take a look at one of the first responses that I got on this thread

"Well welcome to the site and please take this whatever way you wish, but you have put your project out there for all to see and comment on.
What the heck are you thinking putting the front axle and wheel way out in front od the VW cab ? You are not only chopping the hell out of it, you are removing what leg room there was in it,(the cab). Wouldn't it looked better with a IFS set up with the cab set up like original over the front wheels ? You could still have the mid mounted engine etc and especially as you mention in the video that you will have the original rear tray built to look sort of standard.
I just think you have started with a cool idea but got completely lost when it came to the front and where the cab should be. I believe you are going to create a bloody ugly mismatched bodied vehicle.
Of course this is just my opinion and it is your vehicle to build the way you want. I just think there is too much ugly coming from the modern car designers now without adding to the mix by taking a cool VW truck and F..King it."

So regarding the hood...is the pause due to the fact that no hot rod should have a hood
