Beetles are my true passion, ive collected 3 so far, but as a kid it started with hondas and lowriders. Also having an obsession with rust really gets me excited to see this build come together. You truly stay unique in the fact that youre always doing something that most of us wish we were doin
Bro, I love your drive. Currently, I am doing a body swap and sometimes I get overwhelmed with research. You are the inspiration to everyone that says, you don't need to super clean the metal before you weld, you dont need perfect material to use, and you can get a lot done with an angle grinder.
Great to see a young man with a vision and skills to make it real. The car is ugly, but my opinion does not take away your vision and skills. Definately follow this build
Nah man, you do it, work with what you have. I've been there, and i know what you did on this video is not easy. Still you get the job done. Instead of complaining about not having the "right" tools for metal shaping and panel beating. All that stance thing is.. not for me but i still follow your youtube videos. Nice to see a young kid getting hands dirty and work on cars.. And hey, we're car guys. That makes us all have a variety of the same mental disorder.. And we having different opinions and tastes does not make one right or the other wrong. Opinions are just like ass holes, everyone got one
This needs to be a Hotwheels car. I mean, Honda Civic mixed with Volkswagen Beetle fenders, and a Jeep front end? Black with flames maybe? Definetely a Hotwheels car! Maybe I'll make one in 1/64! :D
I’ve been binging Crucible Coachworks content which is all about finessing sheet mental into incomprehensible shapes by hand…and then I find this gem of a channel which is all about tacking shit together. Both approaches work well, I love the contrast
As someone who has yet to get into welding you give me faith not saying you're bad at what you do i just love the confidence behind the way you just dive into shit i have mad respect for it ill get there eventually.
You know what? This is probably the one and only stanced car i will ever actually enjoy. Looks-wise its not for me but i still love that you have a vision and youre just going for it. Car scene needs people that arent afraid to chop up a car to make something unique and fun. Will be keeping an eye on this build!
At first when I watched your few years back, at the old shop, I thought this channel was only about abusing cars but damn this has turned creative! I appreciate your vision with this civic and I appreciate the work hours you've put in this!
Yo this is absolutely ridiculous in the best fn way possible. I’ve seen other people kill the game before but you create your own game all together. You are a mad scientist sir.
You talked about the grinder discs and lifespan so I figured I'd mention that, skim pass cuts eat less of your wheel than plunge cuts. I noticed when cutting up that square stock that wheel went away pretty rapidly lol. Just food for thought. This thing really has a unique look, I dig it!
I plunge when I’m using the disk for strait cuts. And skim when trying to make those curves cuts. But the 6” has like 3 times the material to use at a 4.5”
I love this build so much, the thought and inventiveness is awesome, but if I saw this thing in my street I would run so far and so fast in the other direction!
man got to respect your work output and just getting things done with what you have no moaning u just put ur head down and do what needs to be done appreciate your work bro
@@Ruined4banger all the best brother you earned a fan and my respect all the way from capetown south africa and coz of how real and raw u are it makes wanna start making videos i kinda just work work on mercedes but will do any car if its family or a real friend but yeah bro appreciate u
id love to see this become a max effore build. all the seams bondo'd and flattened and smoothed. have everything painted. just as nice as the car could get
I love seeing this vision of yours come to light this shit is unique af. Keep up the hard work I found your channel when you had your tdi hatch at like 100 subs or something like that
Can't wait to see what ideas you have for the rear, or plans for exhaust. I think just a big cannon would be too simple for this build, but also don't want to go too wild. Side pipes maybe? Or maybe some verticals out the rear that are about the same height as the bumper?
Im lovin it! Im glad u didnt try a civic bumper. Keep it metal! I like the square jeep headlights vs. The bug fender headlights but its cuz theyre square. I tend to stray from rou d and lean towards square, boxy, edgy for aestetics. I do like the fender turn signal lights from the bug but the front turn signal hole from the jeep could be some yellow fogs...
Standing on the engine says this is the type of guy you want to party with 🤘 engineers be busting their skulls trying to reinvent the hood latch and here you are showing them up with a wrench 🤣 don't forget to add cuuurb feelers...
Can't wait to see this build progress and what it eventually looks like once it's done! This is a cool one bro I've seen your vids before but I subscribed so I can keep up with this one 🤙
You’re literally building the equivalent of a import hot rod def a refresher to the car culture need more ppl doing this everyone is always afraid of opinions and don’t follow own visions
Not even going to give any opinions, i'm just curious to see the end result. I hope you enjoyed doing this as much as I enjoyed watching it. I'm currently in school for welding fab, so i can do shxt like this on my off time.
Man , brotha , this thing is coming out way more rad than I was even imagine, mad respect broski , this is true rat rodding , and I love it 💪🏽🤙🏽🤘🏽.. I can't wait to see the rest of what ya do to this, bro .. in the end, you should give it juat a insane power plant to 😅 like a boosted 400+hp type engine in it . Man, would that just set it off .. not only would it look killer , but it would also kill people's feelings if they try to line up 😅.. anyways, bro, b4 my adhd takes over, and I have a story for ya 😂, peace and love all, keep it rad, stay safe, and build on..l8r famz and keep having fun all
Shoutout maxpeedingrods, thats sick. Good shit dude i think this is the content that will push your channel way bigger. (I thought i commented on this video but couldnt find it)
The thing that stands out about your channel is that you're not afraid to try something different. It's inspiring.

Try to spend all my “work” days, in the shop
i promise you there is not a soul that wishes to create such shit as this LMFAO
Give it some more time, and the number of bugs will triple. I've 6 got already
I’ve 28 beetles :)

The front end is giving me 60s mustang vibes with the way it flows from the circle headlight to the grill
Stumbled across this channel watching some Facebook reels, came to the RUclips channel, was not disappointed. These builds are rad 🤘🏻

One of the sickest buids on youtube right now keep up the good work man

I really felt that “I folded it backwards… what a f***ing idiot!”
😂 100% me when I’m in my shop 😂
There’s something about watching someone’s ideas come to life it’s super inspiring!
This looks so good! With just using minimal tools and working on the ground, this is awesome stuff🤘🏼
Don’t ever stop creating. Been a while since I’ve been so
Impressed.
Do a split bumper like a Camaro! Just found your channel! Great hands on work brother!!
I’ll have to look into this. What year we talking?
73 Camero
1968/1969

So refreshing to see someone building something different on yt I appreciate it thank you 👍👍
Not a single stock car left in my parking lot at this point
@ I am the same way I can’t leave anything alone everything must be modified in some form or fashion everything right down to my lawnmower
Totally digging the front VW fenders, it really works. Cheers Sir
This build is the coolest one on youtube right now!! 1000% unique!
This is so cool and original. Loving the new shop and video style. You got some talent man. Show it off!
Really coming along nicely. Better than expected. You have a very creative mind.
Cheers from, Ohio.
I love this build so much, the thought and inventiveness is awesome, but if I saw this thing in my street I would run so far and so fast in the other direction!
This is the kind of builds I like, out of the box, and unique, keep it up bro 😎👍🏼
Watching the cut off wheel lose diameter while cuttjng the square tubing was pretty cool lol
I didn’t even notice the size change. I’ll have to watch that back through
Your are a metal work genius dude. Respect from 🇬🇧
Yes bro I'm gassed for this build!!! Love the process and I think I see the vision!
Coming together pretty dang good so far. Still so much more to go
I think this just became my favorite build on RUclips. Inspiring me to get off my ass and work on my truck. Keep going dawgy the vision is rawwww
Always try to inspire
Great progress and craftsmanship.
man got to respect your work output and just getting things done with what you have no moaning u just put ur head down and do what needs to be done appreciate your work bro

Definitely the most interesting build going on right now. 25 hopefully will be just like this.
Custom
Freehanded
Waaaay outside the box.
Love it
Love this build, cant wait to see the rest of the build process. That hood latch is fuckin mint!!!! So sick
id love to see this become a max effore build. all the seams bondo'd and flattened and smoothed. have everything painted. just as nice as the car could get
This with a crispy paint job will look soo dope💯
Me and my buddy own Hammered&Cambered and this is absolutely Hammered&Cambered! Great work.
The look is growing on me great job brotha !!
This is the sickest thing i've seen for a civic
the front end def coming together, pretty interesting to see the vision you have on this ek hatch
This is truly amazing. I have always been a fan. Keep up the great work man. Love to see more.
i knew i saw the vision right this is fire
Very invested in this build I see the vision

This thing looks weird af and I’m here for it super cool
By far the coolest thing hes ever built can’t wait to see more
Youre insane for this and I'm all here for it
hopefully you skyrocket to 200k. this thing deserves to go viral
Wow that’s bloody awesome I didn’t realise you had this in you some skills doing that in my opinion.
Absolutely love this build! Deadly!
An idea. With the Beetle fenders, maybe make an extended VW Beetle bumper? I think that will tie in well with this project.
Should make an exterior windshield visor like the ones they had on the old beetles. Would look sick
In the plans. Need a big chunk of metal
@ killer
I was skeptical of the grill look at first but you made it look dope
this build brings pitcrew mx5 vibes I love it! keep up the good work!
Bro you just leveled up in my book but as most know you can’t show all them there talents so phuckin dope brada smoof operator..
Bro, I have to say this is actually looking pretty damn good
Im lovin it! Im glad u didnt try a civic bumper. Keep it metal! I like the square jeep headlights vs. The bug fender headlights but its cuz theyre square.

Can't wait to see it done bro... Look awesome 👍🏻
That front end is giving me Virgil-Exner-post-stroke vibes. It's coming together!
It’s a goos day when you wake up to this update🔥🔥
Great work its look very good , i Hope one day you swap it

Dude, this is badass, keep up the great work.
Dude i can’t wait to see this thing finished, it’s such a cool project!
Keep em comin
I feel like this is a build you can take to meets and keep in the collection for sure.
Everyone’s asking me to take it out this season already
@ makes sense to me you better lol
This is actually really sick.
Keep the build going this shit is fire
I don't get the stance, but I appteciate the artistry of the custom front end.
i love the new shop, definitely an upgrade imo keep going homie
You’re literally building the equivalent of a import hot rod def a refresher to the car culture need more ppl doing this everyone is always afraid of opinions and don’t follow own visions
i wasnt sure at first but you get me at the end id like to see it all in primer to blend everything
It just makes me happy to see shit organized. I felt like I was watching an absolute slob previous videos now it’s an artist.
I for sure had the floor space to never really clean up. It was organized clutter everywhere
