Start out with a clapped out Baja Bug, Chop off the roof, weld the doors shut and waterproof the damn tub. (Thank God for fiberglass) Further waterproofing of engine includes waterproof intake systems (snorkels) and an exhaust height level for safe water crossings. While in water, an Evinrude outboard motor provides aquatic propulsion instead of the complicated and antiquated original Schwimmwagen set-up. Pontoons at both sides, just like the Schwimmers, provide additional lift but it uses modern surfboard construction techniques (fiberglass over foam core). The interior while spartan is made out of scuba material in ultra-black. (piped in white, of course). 3G, SMS, MMS, GPS, MP4 courtesy of the Ipod and IPaq combo wirelessly connected to the megawatt Speaker system (Waterproof, natch)
While on the road, black-powdercoated 5×205 steelies (no ‘caps) and offroad (Mudder) rubber add enough class for this reptile and hi-output “Angel Eyes” headlights brightens up the road (or off-road).
