Hot Wheels Custom Volkswagen Beetle Rat Rod 

That backdrop at the end is KILLER!

Fantastic result. Nice conversion.

Best use of a VW bug yet!!!

Hey Danny I’m 62 this December and used to collect these cars as a kid. You have made them so much better and I would love to try my hand it converting them into a true work of art as you do. Keep up the great work your new fan Mike !!

What a great custom you definitely have a talent !!

Very realistic rust,nice!

Hi, Big Daddy Roth would’ve be proud of this rat rod. Great job. For those out there who don’t know who Big Daddy Roth is/was..... Google it! See ya next time.

Danny Danny Danny you are a certified bad ass. I love it! Rock on brother!

Great job! Thanks for the show!

Danny I will be honest I had my doubts about the paint but after you got it put together I love it. Great work!👍

Amazing. It's just awesome. The rust is so natural . Impressed......again. and the scenary,makes it ewen moore realistic

Great colour choice. The contrast between the rust and the paint is amazing and top notch.

Man that wide stance on it is sick. It turned out great.

looks amazing ! I never could imagine how good looks that cast with a big motor in front.. gorgeous !

Top job Danny! brilliant idea using the rock salt in that way, makes a great effect when it's finished.

Great effects on this. The rock salt - what a brilliant idea. Love the finished car

Excellent job as usual!!!

I love the "rust". Great job. VW's are my favorite.

Amazing Danny, as always! The realism you bring to your paint effects are the best on RU-vid.

Fantastic weathering technique, very realistic looking.

nice job well done

The rust looks real and the engine looks awesome

Awesome video. As a Canadian, I can appreciate the irony of using salt to create the rust effects. Road salt is the number one cause of metal cancer after all. The only thing I would worry about if this were a real vehicle is just how close those expensive tires are to the exhaust. lol

The rock salt trick was 🔥🔥🔥

Love the stance on this rat rod, perfect wheel height and width.

That was a lot of work you put into this one! Well worth it!

Nice Rat Rod, I would’ve cut off the luggage rack, but it still looks great.

Super cool stuff 👌🏽 congrats from Portugal 🇵🇹

Could only imagine how powerful this beast would be! Power to weight ratio would be on its side!

you did a great job...

Looks awesome. Very nice build and great final pictures!

Thanks for sharing...

Thanks for another “how to” tip. Excellent work. 👍👍👍👍

This is awesome. I love how easy the salt method is. Not to say the chipping medium is especially hard, but this looks so easy and give a result that is as good if not better and uses stuff that you've probably got lying around the house.

Looks fantastic. Love VW's

best channel ever

Ripper custom build mate! ...superb detailing👍

Great job! It looks fantastic. I especially like the rust effect as it has multiple layers like real rust. Thanks for sharing his.

Awesome job

Love it!! Great Job!!!

It would be awesome if you could make a War Boy car carrier, like for example a NASCAR transport truck and trailer that was found by the War Boys or a traditional semi truck with car transport trailer that the War Boys are using to either collect rare cars from unfortunate Wastelanders or to transport damaged attack cars and pursuit vehicles back to their base for repairs. P.S it would be cool if the trailer would be outfitted/decorated with car parts.

Best one yet buddy. Love the rust on this one. 👍

Fantastic job buddy

Good job!

Really cool Danny!

Great VW Danny, the rust effect is top notch. I live in the State of Indiana on the Northern border about a hundred miles from Chicago. I tell you this because where I live RUST is our State symbol. LOL. In the winter they spread salt (Cacium Chloride) on the streets to melt the ice. It works but it also destroys everything else it contacts, vehicles, concrete and the environment. So again, great job on the rust.

That was a really fantastic build.

Keep up the good work, bro. And, keep rockin' us out here in South Central Illinois, indeed. ...VvvvV...

Yep now it truely is a Rat Rod Beetle . Great job Danny 👍

Looks so cool LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

Cool little rat ! The rust effects look really good.... I dig it ! 🍻

Very good

Looks pretty good Danny

Awesome job buddy looks great thanks for sharing buddy keep up the good work 👍👍

That’s amazing man. Excellent detail.

Verry good

Good job there mate. A hot rod VW Beetle.

Great work on the rust effect Danny. I certainly learnt a few things here and will give them a go myself, I also have one of these Beetles knocking about too.

Excellent work Danny well done again 👍

Awesome job Danny! Really amazing work!

Great looking custom Rat Rod Danny, nice work!...Bill

Superb rusting effects. Love it! For more realism go heavier on the wheel arches and sills, they are usually the worst for rust. This one is in your top 3 for sure mate.

Look good Danny cheers Brian Thailand

Great job!

I love the Volkswagen hot wheels I try to buy them whenever I look at the stores.. haven't found the rat rod

Excellent Danny, it looks great. All the best.

Aja la baraja, ese efecto con sal esta chingon. Excelente trabajo saludos desde México

Could of used the tell pipes as the brake lights, that thing it lit, I would mob in it, thank you, you have gave me some good ideas for my extra V Dub bug. 🔥🤘🏻

I like 👍 the look, worth the effort and time thanks

I've watched some of your other videos and every time you used that chipping stuff I kept thinking why doesn't he use the salt method? Glad to see you using it here, gives much better results in my opinion 👍

I would love to see this car merged with a bone shaker

Coole Idee. Bin auch gerade drann einen hotrod zu bauen aus nem volvo 850

Nice work , cool car. Cool idea. Mike Espo .................................

Y’all did good 💀

Cool interessante Variante den Rostlook zu machen. Ich habe da Rostaktivator genommen.

Great disaster lol, I love it

That's what I'm talkin' about. A true Danny's Diecast Disaster. Awesome. The interior/base/motor/axles look super duper cool. How do you think the salt technique compares to the chipping medium? Cool experiment.

Wow its súper Nice , Great work 👍👏👌👍👏👌👍👌👏👌👍👌👏👍👌👏👍👏From Buenos aires Argentina 🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋

As the adage goes; everything old is new again...

This style is called "Volksrod"

👍🏻🔥🔥 for when a mini morris????

Hey man i enjoy your videos your customs are spot on your weathering is perfect and please keep them comeing i have only one suggestion for your videos theres alot of dead air maybe you could slip some music in or some other track i appreciate your time in reading my comment and hope you have a successful channel

👍

Just a couple

Will you fit a periscope for the driver, lol. I like these videos and keep thinking I will have a go, but I am just to precious about carving up a model.

Don't the old-style bugs like that have the engine in the TRUNK (boot) not under the hood (bonnet)? Why did you choose to put it in the front? Wouldn't that require a LOT of retrofitting?

I think this salt method is better than the cracking medium.

Hi Danny. I just came across a one off video from Table Top Time from JAZZA studios where they are making a gaslands car. Thought you might be interested

That was amazing, but were did you get those wheels?
