Let's be honest, as project car builders, we rarely just toss the keys to our prized creations. Whether you've built a roaring Cobra or a painstakingly-restored muscle car, they're incredible rides – but letting someone else take the wheel? That's a whole different level of anxiety.

​

We've heard from hundreds of our New Beetle truck kit customers: the Smyth build isn't just about creating a unique vehicle, it's about sharing your passion. 

Because the Smyth Ute retains so many of the original car's modern capabilities and safety features, you can truly relax when teaching friends and family the satisfaction of creating a special machine. That's what this whole custom car thing is about. Watch them confidently drive and experience the thrill of a hand-built car, knowing it's designed for real-world driving and sharing.​​
