Pikes Peak race car Ep4 - Body on

Buffy the Tesla Slayer finally has some clothes on. In this episode we cover the fibreglass body which has now been installed on the race car. We also show off the rear brakes and have some decisions to make on the wheels and tyres.

Love it! Amathyst Metallic (Porsche 964), with bronze or golden wirewheels.

[@PaulTC777]

British racing green with dark gold side stripes similar to the stripes in old Porsche 911 Turbo, with the word Teslabug or something original. The wheels can be dark gold Rotiform aerodiscs. Well, the aerosdiscs are an add on you can add on any wheels.

[@spudproductions7606]

Sounds good. 👍😀

[@alibro7512]

Steelies with traditional Beetle hubcaps would look awesome. I think Wheeler Dealers had some custom made for a VW van with non standard offset and much wider.

[@johnt.848]

I had some made for my Beetle too, they basically turned the hub part around and inverted the offset, then widened the rims by welding a bit in.

[@deemtube]

Totally agree! Maintain the classic style.

[@THSonGoogle]

white body collor, as it is in this video, would be amazing to keep.

[@johnt.848]

I'm glad it doesn't have the Carrera turbo style flares on the rear guards as they are wider but don't accommodate a larger diameter rim. I had them on my Superbug to allow wider rims I had made. I always wanted a tilt front or the Aero look kit that was available at the time but life got in the way.

[@buzzofftoxicblog791]

Looking good 👍 I met Frank Costin the aerodynamics who thought of the upside down wing for down force 😀 😄 😉 ..... Frank Costin ..... wheels I do love bling,,,,, paint job mmmm yes got to be Herby or yellow with flames 🔥🔥🔥😂🌏💚bloody fun 😀

[@spudproductions7606]

Flames 👍👍

[@Sn0wc4t]

Looking forward to seeing her run. Whatever you paint her, please DON'T do Herbie. Every customised Bug you see out there has got those 2 stripes and a 53. It's boring, let's try something else... Given the high tech workings and Fibreglass body, why not confuse people and give it a Patina look?

[@ElectricClassicCars]

I'm with you on the Herbie thing. Patina look might be interesting. 👍

[@unairamos74]

Great idea! Richard Symons (RSymons RSEV) has one Porsche Taycan with an "oily & dirty" look that is just amazing, all done with vinyl wrapping, which is a lot cheaper and more convenient that an arty paint job. You can check it out in his YT channel.

[@ForeverNeverwhere1]

Wheels? Ronal R50s, they do them in 5x 112 pcd and 18x8. Nice compromise between old skool cool and Racecar. Reasonably priced too. Colour? Pretty much anything 1990s Porsche 911 colour palette work well on a curvy beetle. The raspberry colour is my fave.

R50 on everything 🤘

[@ElectricClassicCars]

Yes👍👍👍😲 Best wheel suggestion so far. 👌

[@deanmcmanis9398]

Fuchs made the classic 911 "Five leaf" wheels, and they now make the same classic style in 17", 18", 19" sizes. And I would probably go with the 18" size to provide sharp handling, but give the tire some sidewall for better acceleration. For the color I would go with either photochromic medium blue to purple, or a deep candy red.

[@ElectricClassicCars]

18" Fuchs would look cool. 😎👌

[@grahamwest1079]

If Empi do a 5 spoke split rim that would be a good fit. Classic orange paint or ladybug 🐞 paint job. Or dung beetle as it will go like stink.

[@spudproductions7606]

😂😂 like the ladybug idea. 👍

[@ElectricClassicCars]

5 spoke EMPIs. 😎👌

[@pablopicaro7649]

1) Think of Herbie as a large airfoil Wing, Air has longer distance to flow across top than bottom. That Higher velocity air creates lower pressure above Herbie. that is Lift. 2) Now think of a See-Saw / Teeter-totter. The Wing pushing down on back of Bug is great, but also cause LIFT on front of Auto; The pivot is the rear axle. 3) separation of air at Rear deck area - causes low pressure area in back glass area. 4) now think of land speed record cars, and low Coefficient of drag street cars - a long tear drop tail to reduce above mentioned effects

[@Surestick88]

That splitter in the front will add front downforce. There's a high pressure area at the front of the car that is relatively flat. The high pressure will act on the top of the splitter and create downforce. I'd guess the motor and battery pack in the front will also provide a bit of "downforce" in the front too (and better weight distribution than a stock Beetle).

[@aarondejaeger7247]

Go iconic I would say, Porsche 917K Gulf colour combination (baby blue and orange)

[@ajosepi1976]

I think this car would look fantastic with the OZ Racing Rally Race wheel. I have loved that wheel since they ran it on the WRC Focus. This is an awesome build.

[@spudproductions7606]

Me too 👍😀

[@teejay]

18” alu Fuschs and rat that glass fiber so it looks like an old black, faded, scratched and rusted sleeper… a bit of (original) looking chrome bits and tan leather racing straps. Parts of the cage wrapped in exhaust wrap. Can you have/make a roof rack with skis that’ll work as the spoiler? Have bits of the upholstery and the center seat in red dark worn leather.

[@teejay]

...oh, and lots of 50-60ties looking stickers for batteries, high voltage, warnings - and big a weathered slanted forward pointing silver bauhaus looking lightning on each side, for an a aggressive stance-look. Perhaps with lettering in Porsche Franklin Gothic font?

[@ElectricClassicCars]

Great ideas. 👍👍👍

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

Minilite/Watanabe R wheels would be beautiful on it. Also, the Rotiform BUC, HRE P103 or similar multi-spoke wheel. Can't go wrong with the classic 5 spoke, either.

[@Rovinman]

Plum Crazy Purple, with a yellow stripe over the drivers side, ( for when you chicken out from the accelleration). Wheels : Thin white-wall stripe rubber on Turbine 8 1/2 x 18's

[@jcambeul5338]

I think the Herbie look would be great. It is unassuming in a sleeper kind of way. And as we have seen with your own Beetle Richard, the electrics are very deceptive from the outside. Just a little play and fun.

[@tope.sosanya]

Thanks for all the information and details! This is one of my favorite builds on youtube right now. You've demonstrated some amazing builds already so I'm already expecting something that's never been pulled off before- and feel like it's likely you're going to deliver! Super excited to see this coming along! Appreciating this from the USA! keep it up!

[@spudproductions7606]

Thanks 👍😀

[@roi354]

As you probably know, Porsche typically have very large negative offsets on their wheels, so just go for something with a small offset and make the GRP arches stick out further. Job done.

[@johnt.848]

I like black and white, but I might be biased as my Beetle was those colours.

[@masterofautobody]

Love the videos and content. The paint scheme on your racer could be metallic silver with lightning bolts down the side and the cars name " VoltsWagon." Can't wait to electrify my 2007 Dodge Charger R/T some day. Keep up the great work!

[@spudproductions7606]

Lightning bolts ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️👍👍

[@3rixon]

I like a Herbie style Beetle just with plain steel rim.

[@eclecticcyclist]

Wheels have to be 5 spoke, the Porsche Fuchs style might be cool but an electric car seems to deserve something a bit special like the XO Luxury Verona X253 which suggest sparks. As for colours, the classic Gulf colours would look cool.

[@spudproductions7606]

Great ideas 👍😀

[@ElectricClassicCars]

I love that wheel suggestion but it might look a bit too modern on the classic curves of a Beetle. Good shout on the Gulf colours though 👍👍👍

[@alexjones8296]

Looking great so far. Wheels? Easy! Going motor sport, go to image wheels for custom made faces/ET/width. Colour…it’s a race car; has to be yellow! Think Beetle GSR, or even bumble bee from transformers? You could even patina it a bit. Either way, looking forward to seeing what you decide to do.👍

Fantastic to See Buffy Coming Together, My suggestion for Paint is same as I mention Before, Herbie, But I think your Race Car will be moving so fast Buffy will be out of focus for most anyway :) (But the Video will go Viral, so Great Advertising, ;) .. No wonder Porsche went with the "Whale Tail" Spoiler, to cut that Suction on rear End, Almost worth "squaring off the Butt", as on Track you want down force, Maybe a Body like New Electric Kombi ;)

[@Xylomethazolinhydroc]

Gulf Beetle Design!!!!

[@spudproductions7606]

Good one 👍😀

[@anthonyrawsthorne656]

Paint wise, Probably down the lines of Tamiyas Blitzer Beetle, still a tongue in cheek nod at an electric classic (Toys they're not...) , but I think lesser known, and more at home on a race car.... Wheels wise, it's difficult, as what look good on one car, can look terrible on another, so maybe a set of custom spilt rims, in the classic 'smoothie' style ,which would give you a clean (sleeper??) look, and also the options to get the offset & width spot on.

[@edwardbroyles9738]

As soon as you said "paint". The first thing I thought of was HERBIE. I guess it would depend on if you want a kind if tongue in cheek approach or not. For your competitors who may not be aware of the potential of your electric car it would be an eye opener once it ran away from them.

[@CrazedCrittic]

HERBIE - Acronym: "Hyper Electric Roller-skate (with) Boosted Inductive Electricity". Bloody hell I should be in marketing! :) Whatever it becomes it will be a Moggy special and that is what makes this pioneering channel so special x

[@edwardbroyles9738]

@@CrazedCrittic I like that! It's very appropriate.

[@w.j.hammer5902]

I like the idea of running a set of the 18x8 factory VW 8 spoke wheels with the big center cap that came on the 12-19 beetles. (I think this is the part number for the wheel I am speaking of: 5C0601025H8Z8) Of course they would need widend to proper race spec but there are plaecs that do that. Then I would think about taking that big factory center cap and whipping up your own Aerodisk. Probably more work than it's worth but it would give you just a hint of retro while bringing the car into the modern electric era while keeping it all Beetle themed. As for color I would just keep it simple and do one base color and do any numbering or sponsor vinyl over that. My color of choice would be VW paint code LE6B (AKA Mountain Green)

[@spudproductions7606]

Thanks for the great ideas 👍😀

[@ElectricClassicCars]

Nice colour suggestion. 😎👌

[@lauralevenson6325]

Magnificent!

[@gregoryreschke914]

The Beetle is a wing design, flat on bottom and curved on top. The rear wing looks like it needs some support other than bolted to the body. Would using the rear side windows to channel air to the back window area help to decrease lift?

[@ElectricClassicCars]

I can see a trip to the wind tunnel in Buffy's future. 😉👍

[@manx1641]

I’d love some more info on how you make the hand brake work, I’m collecting the parts for mine now.

[@creightonfreeman8059]

I went with Enkei Racing wheels on my E-Fiero because they were the lightest aluminum wheels I could find at a reasonable price. Not sure what style you are looking for with a VW but I imagine they have many in 5x120; it is a more common bolt pattern than 5x100.

[@chargeheadsuk]

It would be great to have some efficient aero wheel covers... maybe Turbo fan like the old Audi quattro trans am racer that was banned for being too good and smashing the competition 😉. colour scheme wise I can't get a purple vampire colour scheme out of my head (Buffy) 🙈 failing that green with lightening graphic. Fingers crossed for the 9J's 🤞⚡️💪

[@spudproductions7606]

Good idea for the wheels. 👍😀

[@chargeheadsuk]

@@spudproductions7606 thanks, I surprised myself with that one

[@Monni95]

Color-wise I would go with at least 2 different colors with some design. Stripes are common, but kind of too common... For wheels, any rim style would work as I would focus on making the rim multi-color too...

[@EuropaSman]

Wheels suggestion: classic Wolfrace slot mag wheels in silver. Colour suggestion: Lotus canyon red metallic (paint code C117) with silver Electric Classic Car decals.

[@nickcooper14]

I think the Old school Fuchs and a Porsche Miami Blue or of course a high gold metallic British racing green with gold Cantered BBS rims.

[@spudproductions7606]

Nice one 👍😀

[@miguellima2204]

Oz rally wheels ... but that's me.

[@DPMConnacht]

- Slate Grey on the Porsche 356B in your previous video looks fantastic. - British Racing Green as mentioned previously. - Herbie the Love Bug, although that'd be in white, but with full length stripes over the bonnet, top, and boot. It would need a number as well. Great choice though. - Type of wheel is a bit tougher without knowing the size and offset you'll need so they sit close to flush with the wings. - I like a couple of the factory "Heritage Wheel" style rims VW offered on the last model sold. They seem to be available in different sizes, but the offset might be a problem without knowing this measurement. Also, how concerned are you with unsprung weight?

[@bawfuls]

just run more offset and even bigger overfenders so you can stick with the 9's

[@Surestick88]

It might not be as aerodynamically effective but I think a spoiler on the back of the roof a-la Delta S4 or Delta Integrale would look better than the one currently fitted. I suspect they kill lift pretty effectively but at the expense of drag compared to a wing. You would, however, get a cool place to advertise your company.

[@Dave-dg4ob]

I think this wheel would look good on a Race Beetle, Has a bit of a VW look. Think they do them in any offset. VN470 470 Salt Flat Special

[@DaWalkDude]

For wheels I'd go for a set of Fifteen52 Turbomacs or Tarmacs. They also sell a shielded wheel called the "Integrale" that could work if you plan to the bug off road!

[@ElectricClassicCars]

Nice wheel recommendations. 😁👍

[@DaWalkDude]

@@ElectricClassicCars Relatively light weight too! What do you guys got planned for the shocks?

[@johanfarnestam1572]

I think you should go with some Compomotive wheels on it. And the Porsche wheels should be 5x130

[@Bluswede]

@ Electric Classic Cars, @ Spud Productions I've a tire/wheel question below, but first, comments on livery and wheels. Personally, I would LOVE to see Gulf Oil livery. I was at the Vintage Races at Road America fifteen years ago, and there was a 917 Longtail in Gulf colors...lovely look and sound as it blew past the speed trap at full song. To see that livery, right down to the wheels, on a short and tall Beetle would be appreciated as both a nod of respect and a helluva joke! Now, that question on the wheel/tire combination that was used for the trial fitting in this video: The way I understand tire sizes and rim sizes, something didn't look right. The '285' should be measured width of the tires at their widest point on the sidewall, right?...and the '9 inches' (230-ish mm) is the measured width between the wheel's bead seats, right? The bead flange on the wheel is usually about 15mm/side for a total wheel width of 15 + 230 +15 = about 260mm...so a 285mm tire's sidewalls should bulge past the wheel by about 25mm, (12.5mm/side) but I'm not seeing that. Instead, I'm seeing the tire's max width right at the bead and tapering to a tread narrower than the wheel width. Do you, by chance, have a 10-inch-wide wheel in hand instead of a 9-inch? I heard you say that the wheel you were using was the only 18 X 9 wheel in the shop, so I'm assuming it was measured twice before the tire was mounted...but I've done that very sort of thing...cut off the end of a stick of wood twice and had it STILL be too short! :D Also, who was the bright bulb that decided tires should be measured in millimeters for width and inches for diameter? I'm just guessing here that it might be one of us American types...you know, like the two that managed to miss Mars with a billion-dollar NASA probe because one was sensibly working in the metric system and the other was measuring in pecks, pounds, bushels, quarts and teaspoons! I'd hate to see a 1-inch goof (25.4mm) mess up your wheel fitment choice when the fit is that tight...only to realize after assembly that you could have had another inch of rubber driving lightning bolts into the pavement! As with the rest who've commented, anxiously awaiting, and hoping for, a great first roll!

[@ElectricClassicCars]

Yep, you've caught the goof in this video that I realised after we filmed it. I picked up an 11" wide wheel, not a 9". 😆😁👍

[@Bluswede]

@@ElectricClassicCars Good to hear that you caught it before it caused you too much trouble. I'd figured that was a safe bet, but I had to say something just in case. I've been staring at the same problem myself for a bit now...fitting oversize wheels to a 200,000-mile Toyota Celica beater car so I can buy the tires I want. They aren't made in the stock size. While at that, I'm also developing a suspension rebuild 'kit' for when I find a clean 7th-gen Celica. That might actually be a swap for you to look at... The Toyota Matrix was built on the same basic floorpan and had an AWD version. An AWD or RWD 7th-gen electric Celica would be as unexpected as a Beetle or Mini.

[@RustyChapman]

Herbie would be a good place to start, but here's what I would do. Herbie's number was 53, if I recall; replace it with a number associated with the electrical conversion. Next, replace the plain stripes with an electrical sine wave or 3 (3 phase), and maybe overlay a plasma beam overtop of the sine waves. As for the base color, I'm partial to the dark blue on the Land Rover Discovery. Just a thought.

[@ElectricClassicCars]

Nice idea. 👍

[@jeep7]

[@daniellaroche465]

Just curious, why would you run such a narrow wheel? I also have a Tesla sport ldu in my super beetle thanks to you guys and your videos. Now I’m completely hooked on electrics. I run 10” corvette wheels and tires on the street and they are definitely no match for the Tesla. I know it’s a race car but 8-9” rear and 7” front wheels sure seem like they will be very limiting. On a side note, I’d sure like to know what times the silver beetle ran on the track 1/8th mile? I’m late to the party but I’m trying to keep up. 😆.

[@fydstar]
