Here is what I would think is probably the ultimate Volksrod/VW Rat Rod. You have to appreciate the amount of work that went into it.

the bug wasnt designed soley by old ferdy porsche.

ferdinand originaly planned on using a 5 cylinder air-cooled radial engine, but no matter what he did, he could not over come the overheating problems and hitlers required 100 km's per tank. instead a young engineer named Xavier Reimspess designed and built the well known air-cooled flat four that all bugs have today.
