Has any one ever built one of these? I think it will be a fun project for my son, but I was hoping someone has done this before and can offer some advice.

I had built a "Tow-Mater" bed and a fire engine bed and a "castle bed" before but not a volkswagon. What questions do you have?

thanks for all your help. That orange bus is awesome. I drew one out yesterday with v-carve and hope to cut it out this week. I plan on using 3/4" mdf and plywood with minimal framing. I will post pics when it is complete and make the files available to anyone.

thanks
todd

It needs to be a red VW micro bus full of garbage, shovels, rakes, and other implements of destruction.

But what are you going to do with all that garbage on Thanksgiving?

Throw it off a 50' cliff and go back to the church and have Thanksgiving dinner that can't be beat

The VW Bus needs to be yellow with a peace sign painted on it. That is a cool bus.

Sounds like the makings of a massacreee!
You could end up on the group W bench that way.

It's getting to that time of year again. Saw him in concert and had a really good time.

are you constructing a part file for this from the picture or did you purchase plans from somewhere?
