Dolly is done for the beetle. I forgot a lot of stuff to get and no luck on the metal yet.

Make it way earier to be able to move it like that!
I'll probably redo it now. It's all screwed together so not a problem. It's not rolling so good because I haven't cleaned the floor and there's pretty good cracks in the floor. It's better than working in the driveway!
@@jarnosaarinen4583 are you having a bad day Jason? Lol
@@jarnosaarinen4583 I'd be sarcastic with you but I haven't met you yet. Someday. Hopefully unless you're an ass hole. Lol
If you can get ahold of an old worn out fork off a lift, I have a couple they make great ( anvils) and dont take up any room.. I have built all kinds of stuff out of them
I keep general Mills going. 100 pieces of equipment. I have forks all the time.
@@ChrisJEllis Only thing I miss is the supplies I use to get any kind of spray or the old stuff.. Never did in house always on the road.. first road call replace a steering column on an old clark like a 3k in the basement of a restaurant supply.. all I say dont fight that iron as it was told to me it will win.
@Malcolm-s3t I was a road tech but now in-house
Chris it will do 18 go slowly with it dont try to do the complete roll one shot, you may need to feed it through and tighten it a little bit each time. my last comment got deleted not sure why? another youtuber with the same exact roller did 1.2 mm stainless it worked fine.. and I would suggest grease the drive gears and the little bushings on the top roller just a bit, and dont make a longer handle Im sure it will strip the drive gears.. all this just a suggestion of course its yours do as you please. if its compound bend feed it in on a slight angle. keep messing with it you will get it.
I looked it up. It's 16ga. That's why I can't bend it. Every place in town sells 16 or 22. I wanted 18 or 20 but couldn't find any when I was patching the 64.
@@ChrisJEllis what model did you buy? the SJ 300 will do 18 gauge you need to just go slow.. just keep messing with it, if it put a curve in it, it will do more, dont over tighten the upper roller or bottom roller.. another words dont crank the shit out of it.. Haha
@@Malcolm-s3t SJ300. I was trying to bend 16ga.
@@ChrisJEllis In the vid you said 18 gauge .. Ok you got me now.. it dont take much to confuse me 35 years repairing forklifts did me wrong.. Haha
Yep. I thought I had 18 but it's 16. My bad. I need to find a metal yard around here.
Well its all trial and error chris
Well Jason is saying it should be 19ga or 20ga. I don't know where to get 20ga and that panel came out as perfect as I hoped. IDK
like 1 !
Nice
I think VW's are 19 gauge, 20 might be the closest? 19 is pretty hard to find
So you think 22 is too thin? I can try and find some 20ga. Damn that piece turned out nice.
Mount the vise to that work bench 2 bolts it will be fine and clamp that roller in there it will be fine your only putting a very slight curve in the metal
Sounds like a plan. I've never used one before so didn't know how much pressure it would put on the bench.
Get hold of vwcoco he the man will send you pic of what it should look like
Will do
Just take your time Chris & try & have fun with it! I'm sure you'll get it!!
Thanks Jason.
Try messaging Doug, he just got a vw shell that might have some metal he could send ya!....😊
I can't afford to send body parts from Canada. But I did see he had one.
WTF??
What? It's a shit show here.
Transport rack for the future transportation 👍. Ya, it kinda sux, have to remember, turn off the radio whenever you press record for youtube.
Lesson learned...lol. Thanks for stopping by!
Keep going chris you will get it
Hi bud, thanks for the support. What's your real name?
Looking good Chris!
Thanks Jason
Let's hope the storms ain't to bad keep videos coming
Everything is good today
Thx guys, all is good. on the up an up now.
@@chrisellis8918 glad all is good kid!
good to be ready!
Thanks Jason
Winter is ere
Wednesday it's going to drop here.
What’s up with the creepy noise
@@WaaO_O that's my wave machine. It does sound creepy. Lol
@@ChrisJEllis oh, I thought you edited that into your vid. It’s a lot less creepy now lmao. Cool cats btw 💪
Good to hear your boy is doing well
Thanks Craig.
Glad your son's going to be Ok!
Thank God. I'd trade spots with him if I could. A dad thing I guess.
Here's to a speedy recovery!
@@Hanlonsgarage thanks Craig
Praying for your sons fast recovery !
Looks good to Me Chris, I reckon Winter will be fine!
Thanks Jason. It's spring for you..right?
Keep doing you're thing chris
Thanks
your bed making is phenomenal.
Thanks
polydactyl kitty 😺 both are cute!
Yep, I have a couple polydactyl cats
Good luck had all same issues on my 73. Front apron fit decent. Rear apron sucked wish I would have keep original. The samba classified usually can find rear donor
Good to know. Front is the one I have to replace. Rear I might be able to straighten it out.
Good luck with repair not the easiest
Thanks Andy!
Cat got some big paws, my brother had a cat just like that with six toes on each front paw😮😅😊
We have a bunch of polydactyl cats here. Stanley had enough toes that he had thumbs and could pick stuff up.
don't think that wheel well patch is factory
I was thinking the same but the new tub for it had the same hole.
Remember the yellow Alabama bug!
@@jeanneprusak1031 I remember
that looks tore up but you got this.
Thanks bud but no promises. I have a roller coming. Let's see what I can do.
@@ChrisJEllis cant wait to see what you get. Im struggling on my project still havnt got the suspension out of the crown vic. got to pull the ac pump the starter and the driveshaft, pull the mottor and then get the suspension, i did order a plasma cutter today, so close but so far away..
@@shogibyvictortree5028 projects take time and life gets in the way. You'll get it done.
He'll yeah brother
No promises. We will see.
you get the SJ 300? machine.. just need some sheet metal your on your way you will be a pro with it after a few panels
I did order that one. Thanks for the help!!!
Vevor has a cheap roller like 12 in, 70 bucks and some sheet metal. I had a customer I went to all the free sheetmetal I wanted all cut offs.. do one panel and get your feet wet you got this.
I like Vevor. I'll look into it.
Do you have one of those rollers? It says for 20ga. Will 18ga work with it?
@@ChrisJEllis I dont have one. not saying it will but I would say it prob would work on 18 gauge.they sell a 12 in roller that will do 16 gauge that is like 100 dollars.
@@Malcolm-s3twhat vendor do you use?
@@ChrisJEllis for sheet meatal I use a local place has all kinds of closeouts and steel
Don't have much use for raccoons. Keep your eyes out for a donor car that might be in better shape
I'm going to try and fix it first. If I can't then I'm going to get a donor car and put it out at the farm.
See vwcoco for doner car 😂😂😂😂
If I was across the pond I would....lol
I like Craig's Idea, if possible! I'm traveling till tomorrow night Internet is super slow & week here!
That's plan B
Go to a scrap yard and look for a donor car for parts.....something you could cut the quarters off of maybe?
That's plan B. I'm going to try and patch it. I'll only be out a little metal and time if I fail. On Facebook the one of the guys showed me the section he used off a donor car and it was a pretty good chunk of the back so I can try and fix it and if I fail just do what he did.
Complete patch panel very expensive . Better looking in breakers yard Chris
Been looking and it doesn't look like they make it.
The old dog wanted them raccoons bad lol
Yep. They come out every night. 4 big fat ones.
Maybe spread out a cheap Tarp over the Floor?
I just hope it doesn't rain every weekend.
Just found your channel, subscribed. Comment and a 👍 for the algorithm 📈.
@@TSRGarage thanks man
@@TSRGarage I subscribed to your's too
Might be Paint & Trim Codes? Definitely check with the Master!
That's what I'm thinking Jason. Chrysler used the same kind of tag.
Vwcoco great place to get information and parts shipped over
Andy is awesome. Thanks for checking in.
Love the green colour good luck and glad to see you working on it
Thanks Andy. Do you know if the dents are supposed to be there? I need to know how bent up the front end is.
@ no should be smooth all round Chris
@vwcoco great. This is going to be fun to fix.
Cool color. Hope you are going back with that factory color.
That is the plan!
@@ChrisJEllisMy history teacher in junior high had one that color. Of course back then it was a new car.
@@Cartier_specialistcool
Give it a go chris what's to lose
I can't hurt it....lol
Almost 50 years old. Im sorry.
