‘Shotgun!’
We’re seeking businesses who share our vision, to come along for the ride
Sponsorship Opportunities…
With two highly successful Charity Beetle builds now completed, and the third underway, we’re seeking like-minded businesses to help us build our most ambitious project to date.
How it started.
The Charity Beetle promotion kicked off in January of 2021 - with the murdered out black and copper icon, aptly named ‘Charity’. Entries for the completed car sold out early in the promotion, and it was a long and anxious wait for the draw in December. The lucky winner, Liz Turner, from Washington State, USA.
Throughout the year, Charity visited several shows and claimed a swag of awards, including:
Best of Show - Best Interior - Bugapaluza, TN.
Beetle Mid (58-67) Custom - 2nd - Bugapaluza, TN
2nd Place - Summer Volksfest, St Augustine, FL
Best Interior - Tannehill Volksjam, AL
Bug - Custom (Early) Up to 1967 - 1st - Rare Air Volkswagen Show, FL
Best Interior - Rare Air Volkswagen Show, FL
Best of Show - Rare Air Volkswagen Show, FL
2nd Place - Full Custom Beetle, All Years - Florida Bug Jam
Best Interior - Florida Bug Jam.
The vehicle was also featured in the 2022 Annual of VolksAmerica Magazine.
How it’s going.
For our second build we wanted to do something completely different, to demonstrate the versatility of the humble VW Bug. ‘Paisley’, again designed by Cate Culp, features a far more ‘classic’ take on the classic Beetle. The 1960 Euro Beetle with original semaphores, was completed at the end of March, 2022, and will made its debut at Bugapaluza, in April. The car combines classic styling, with modern upgrades like four wheel disc brakes, and brand new, zero mile, turn key engine, and ice-cold air conditioning!
We only had Paisley long enough to attend two shows, but she took home impressive awards at both:
Beetle Mid (58-67) Custom - 1st Place - Bugapaluza, TN
Best Of Show - Aircooled VW - Summer Volksfest, FL
AND then came Audacity….
This is where you come in…
It may seem like we do this because we really, really like cool cars and we want to build ALL of the COOLEST cars, ever. And that’s partially true. BUT we also do this because one of us (it was Cate) started an orphanage in a developing country, during the ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ phase of her life, and has had to find ways to continue to fund the humanitarian projects that Foundation 18 provides in both Indonesia and Malaysia.
MetalMorphosis Customs has so far donated over 1,000 hours of labor, and will continue to donate an average of 750 hours of unbilled hours EVERY. SINGLE. BUILD. We also pay for all of the auxiliary costs associated with running this promotion - like the advertising, marketing, graphic design costs, and the website hosting. So we thought it would be really cool if we could find some other businesses who would like to help us raise money for a really worthy cause, while simultaneously building super epic cars.
There are two ways you can support us - either by cash sponsorship - or by product sponsorship. Product sponsorship doesn’t necessarily need to be specific to the build. We are happy to discuss the options with you. We’ve broken sponsorship into four different levels, to make it accessible to even the smallest of businesses.
The completion date for the Audacity build is late March,2023. The car will debut at Bug-a-paluza in Chattanooga, TN in April 2023. We will be touring this car extensively throughout the 2023 car show season.
**WE REGRET THAT SPONSORS AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO WIN THE VEHICLE RELATED TO THE BUILD THEY ARE SPONSORING.
