1968 Volksrod VW Beetle

Tiki Themed and something straight out of HELL, Tiki Bob is because I have two younger boys and that is what they named it

Considering the Volkswagen Beetle holds the record of being the most produced car (Over 21 Million), and some would even say, the most recognizable car....Take that image and change it so drastically that people will often say, "That is Cool...What the hell is it?"

Started in 2005 and is still being "toyed" with.

I got into VW's out of college in 1993

I'm the second owner of this custom built Volksrod, Hell Tiki was built in Louisville Kentucky.

Sons Jackson and Jameson Fish , and My better Half Monica for giving me the time to enjoy my habit/sickness. Thank you Mr.Whitaker for selling me this one of a kind Volksrod. You and your grandson done a fine job and I appreciate you passing along the passion.
