DIY Plexiglass Front Grill Build: Wild Custom VW (Wait Until We Turn It On!)
In this episode of our wild custom VW build, the comments section proved us completely wrong: the front end alignment is officially off by an inch! Instead of tearing down the chassis right away, Ian decided to pause the headache and tackle a custom acrylic grill fabrication from scratch—and wait until you see the front end once it’s fully wired and lit up.
We break down the entire step-by-step DIY process of shaping, cutting, and heat-forming clear plexiglass (acrylic sheet) into a bespoke front grill for a custom car. Plus, we settle the design debate: should this custom Volkswagen front nose carry a convex or concave grill profile?
At the very end of the video, we reveal the next major phase of this wild custom build, showing exactly why getting the front-end styling dialed in took so much patience.

Not just anyone can do that.
Is it possible to cut the forward section and slip it over to proper center?
She is YOUR baby - you do you & I will enjoy the content
I’m glad to see you still working and documenting the work, but also really enjoy the longer (more realistic) time frame for each project.
Yall do a great job, I appreciate you sharing this with us.
