It’s obvious that hours of careful craftsmanship went into the project. According to Mr. Bojic and his wife, creating each tile was a 23-step process, including cutting, chamfering, bevelling, drilling, and smoothing the wood before it could be applied to the car.
The Beetle took 18 months to reach completion. Although it was originally going to be worked on by Momir alone, his wife thought he was crazy trying to do the whole project by himself and offered to help.
