That’s exactly how I plan to do mine. Thanks for the video.

M.G. good to see you back in the garage again.. That is going to be a very nice bug when you're finished.. See you on the next video.. Take care and God Bless...

The early models do not work. That way, there is lot tension on spring where connect to decklid it snapped backward in order to install you have forced back on with lid halfway close on your back and same time forced spring back on lid.

Nice video. I just pulled my body off on my channel. Can’t wait to put it back on. Subscribed!

It would help if I could see what u did to hook up spring

M.G. its good to see you in the shop again.. Are you going to repaint the car after you have all the body work completed? Thx for bringing us along on another adventure.. Take care my friend...

That 58 is beautiful.

Fasteners are designated by their diameter, not socket size that fits them. So those "10 mil" bolts ate technically M6, and require a 10mm hex socket to turn. Thanks for taking the time to produce the vid.👍

Thanks! The MIG is an Eastwood 140 Amp MIG Welder. I wanted to get the best cost/value for my dollar.

Great Video. What is the MIG gun, Looked very interesting. Kudos for the PPE.

Your videos are too short, make them a little longer and you should be able to pick up more subscribers.

THANKS!!

Even better: remote cooler in line with a full flow system.

How do you check/fill brake fluid reservoir after the body is back on the chassis??

hoover bit ... You forgot your HOOVER BIT !!! And the foam to seal the air leaking out around the oil cooler

Nicely done and I enjoyed hearing the walk through of your process!

67 had swing axle with the straight clutch arm. We change those all the time to the straight one and it doesnt hurt anything. Also when it it is the bent arm Once it is tensioned it wont interfere. Just a little hard to get the wing nut started. You will want the wing nut on there at some point . believe me. On clutch cables most of the problems happen in the tunnel behind the pedal assembly. That is where the most stress is. Sometimes in the back because people dont counter hold the clutch cable with vice grips or a 7mm wrench properly. Usually I use vice grips because with 1 hand I can hold them and spin the wing nut. With the Bolt style you cant hold both so it is easier to fray the cable.

Make sure you have all 9 shims in between the pully on the belt.....All 9 shims need to be in there or it will crack the pully. Some on 1 side some on the other side. But you need to have a total of 9......

I all my years in California back in the 1960s, I don't recall ever seeing a Beetle in yellow. Tan, yes! Blue [various shades], yes! Red, yes! Cream colored, yes! and Green, yes! But yellow!?

That car heater that uses the engine's heat exhaust to warm up the heat exchanger . . . _watch out_ for carbon monoxide poisoning, as that was an issue with the '67 Beetle I had.

Great Video.

That is the wrong master cylinder for when you remount the body. That one is made for a dune buggy; the proper master cylinder will have two lines stretching to the trunk to a tank to check the fluid level and keep it full.

I believe Airkewled makes a clutch adjustment tool called the 6 shooter and it makes adjustments very easy.. ck em out if you're interested.. thx for bringing us along.. Take care my friend...

3:40 shows the “Hoover tin” , usually thrown away. “Hoover tin”? Whaaaa? And , a wider fan is of course required for the doghouse style to work properly. Just trying to help.

Junky motors beat themselves to death..

'58 All the way!!!! 🐱

This series is helping me learn about beetles. Because i want to start my beetle journey soon

Dude. No. That fuel line is ready to fail. Get some ethanol safe line ASAP

What brand of carbie did you buy? Kindly send the link.

Had my fuel inlet come out while changing the hose. Roughed it up with sand paper and reinstalled with thread lock. Added safety wire between the hose clamp and bolt on the far side of the bowl. No problems yet, but yeah I'd rather drill tap some threads for a different fitting. One thing, read on the Samba that Dist. Vac Can hose needs a hook or loop to keep fuel from eating the diaphragm.

I have done the Dog House conversion on all my single ports motors. Really runs cool. Summer time cruising all day. I still like to run 92 octane in the summer. Thanks for the video!

Just curious if you checked the end play on the flywheel?

How about ditching the music and letting us hear the engine exhaust?

Looking good sir. I'm doing a similar build on a '61 bug on my channel and just found your channel. It looks like you are about a month ahead of me currently. Keep up the good work on the bug and the videos.

I recently had help with my '63 Beetle from a mechanic who worked for VW in the 60's and 70's. He advised me to avoid the braided fuel lines, as nice as they look, because the covering hides any cracks or weaknesses in the inner hose. Made sense to me.

Always a good idea to grind off the lip on the hub inner edge, clean out the star adjuster holders, and lube them with non seize. Make sure the E-brake cables are free, too. Makes adjustment loads easier.

i just bought a bug and want to learn but I know nothing about cars and I am so over whelmed. I don’t understand any of this.

It was a good video, and I did enjoy it... How long do you think it will take you to complete this vw project? It sure will be nice when finished... Thx for bringing us along on another adventure...Take care my friend...

The boots tore because they are installed wrong.

VW owners manual states to check fluid at each fill up. That's why the reservoir is located remotely. Also, that is why you have an emergency brake. This is not needed really. If you are losing fluid, you will notice if you are proactive.

Axle boots should have the seam at 9 O'clock , seam facing the rear with sealant in the seam. There is no bellows in the seam and will tear. VW owners manual.

Who is this aimed at you got a dog Sat there

Weird? Pure genius!

VW didn't use a filter because with 2.6 qts and changing oil at 3k mi., it didn't need one. I clean strainer every 3rd oil change. It is always clean though. Quick job with the center bolt.

Amazing!

Great video!

Thanks for the video!

Love the video!

Awesome video!

I like the work you're doing on the bug.. It's going to be very nice when completed, do you have any idea when that might be? Well it's good to see another video, and you take care my friend and God Bless...
