Chicken Coop in a 1973 VW Bug - Part 2

     The out side of the reno to the '73 Super Bug. 
     I took out the headlights and replaced them with fishing buoys.  The fender medallions I made using the following: the beak is from pliers; the tail is from a set of  tongs and the body is a small fishing buoy.  Where the engine was I have made it into a feed bin  for shell grit, etc.  For the back fenders I put parts of an old lamp to add a different touch.  I put a Venmar vent on the roof to keep thing dry inside.  On the front door window I put on over racks for screening when the windows are down. 
     I will post the inside reno on the next post.

Chicken Coop in a 1973 VW Bug - Part 1

     Sometime people out there call me a redneck - I guess with my latest project proves that! 
     I've been looking for a Bug for the last six months to turn it into a "chicken coop"!  I found it - this 1973 Volkswagen Super Bug. 
     I'll post the reno's I did to it over the next few posts.
     I fixed her up!  I stripped out the inside and put down a new floor, touched up the paint and added accessories!
