Dean Hodge was looking for an edge when it came to speedy deliveries for Dino's Pizza shop at Glenmore Park. He hasn't missed the mark with his '57 Oval.

In Dino's hot rod style he has made the bug his own. Matt black with some old school features you wouldn't expect the result of putting your foot down.
 

Dino's Beetle is quite the surprise and is not just built for the street. Having participated in VW Drag Racing events Dino is also a regular at the "Day of the Drags" events. There are a few wary Hot Rodders out there that have experienced some embarrassment to this pizza delivery beetle.
