"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right" and that Sarah, is why a lot of us watch this channel :-)
Absolutely !!! Plus her jokes are 🔥
@@FrankySilverFace plus lets face it Sara is super attractive, and her attitude matches.
Yep, that's what my Dad taught me.
And i am sure it is your only reason.
OCD Anonymous unite! 😅
Be careful of what primer you use, the Ospho will probably need to be reapplied to reactivate the layer that is on it now, and then neutralized and rinsed off. Most all epoxy primers will not be compatible with an acid based metal prep unless it’s completely neutralized and removed first. Check with the primer manufacture to see if the Ospho needs to be neautralized/removed, the TDS doesn’t always mention it. Would hate to see prep and primer/paint work ruined by adhesion problems. Upvote this so hopefully Sarah sees it before spraying primer!
True. You must be sure about compatibility. I have 2K urethane primer from Eastwood and it says it MUST be acid prepped if applied to bare metal. But I etch and remove before the phos dries.
@@h82crash 2k urethane over bare metal is a bad idea, it doesn’t seal metal like epoxy does and filler does not stick well to 2k so if you need to touch up and bodywork with filler it won’t stick. Eastwood is relabeling lower quality materials, I wouldn’t think trust them on something that matters. Look into SPI products instead, they’re very high quality, priced reasonably, and the costumer service and tech support is the best ever.
@@theastronaut2276 2k urethane filler primer seems just fine on bare metal, guess it depends on brand. Did most of my car with 2k epoxy on sandblasted metal then body filler and 2k urethane filler tho, just got lazy on last few seperate pieces. I definetly feel like the ospho/rust converter stuff is just asking for trouble and not neccessary, the 2k epoxy will fill, seal and ahdere fine to small rust pores. Kinda like same with sodablasting just way more hassle than sand... But it might have its place on spots that you cant mechanically strip the rust/are too lazy like backside of a steel bumper. I used the eastwood internal frame coating rattlecan on inside of framerails, i guess its okay atleast it had nice extension nozzle on the can but there are better 1k paints too that are more solvent resistant, probably better to stick with ppg etc.
I absolutely love that you'll go above and beyond on Ragnar (and any project you've done) simply because the car deserves it and you want the future owners to have a hassle free car!! You, my dear Lady, have my utmost respect for the way you work, and your philosophy of doing things properly. Well done Sarah, very well done indeed!!!
You are an amazing disciplined individual. Focused, intense and articulate sense of humor. How blessed the ones in your close circle are!
* Most enjoyable when you bring your highly trained Air Force experience and products - into auto restoration!! Big fan. Love your thoroughness! You do things right!
I guess we all here know what "a little bit above and beyond" euphemism means: "a fucking lot and far beyond any rational quality standard". And that's why we love Sarah. ❤👍
Actually I think we knew you would do a 110% resto, and agreed, do it right, make the old bug last forever. Thanks for showing
That bug is coming along great. I helped my dad refurbish a ‘74 bug 30 years ago. It was a good time and a fun car to drive for several years. Keep it up!
Watching you work is therapy. You have changed my life!
I am very pleased Patreon contributions helped with your safety equipment.
Waydago Angel food cake and Fred for helping Sarah.
Judging by some of the minimal car damage and all the various layers of paint and primer, this bug likely had an interesting life. There is also no one better than you Sarah than to give this car it's third or fourth go around and make it even better than before and drive on forever. You chose another great project! 👍
Yeah, it’s got some rust and minor dings, but all and all I think I lucked out on how bad it could have been.
That bristle disc gizmo is amazing! 👍👍👍
Do you have to get them from an aircraft supplier?
Great attention to detail. Alot of people would of just sprayed over an additional coat of sealer to cover up the pitting. The pin holes on the sides were for chrome trim. I had it on my 64 when I had it. Helps break up two tone paint work. I do appreciate the hard work you are putting in to this giveaway and I have my order in.
Yeah… I’m glad to see you decided to do the “bare minimum” on Ragnar and not fall into the rabbit hole. 😂 Really enjoyed the time lapses grinding down to bare metal… and the accompanying music was “rad”, as you young folks say! 😉 Thank you! 👍👍👍
😂😂😂
Bare minimum.....
CDO is a thing when when your OCD even has to be in order. Some of us are suffering internally when we can't do it the right way
Respect for working in such heat anyday, everyday..!
Friggin love this beetle, my favourite of all your cars so far, just zero electronics to go wrong.
but plenty of other stuff! 😄
Pay close attention to the flimsy little tabs that hold the oil cooler on. When it snaps off you will be in the middle lane of a split on the interstate as all the oil is pumped out of the engine. Farfromovin! The air cooled VW experience!😎
@@bigdog4173 as long as you know to check it and keep an eye on it. They are easy to work on. The battery in the back seat isn’t a big deal for me and can be relocated to the front with longer cables. In you just need access to power they make the plug ends for jumper cable and winches you can run an “outlet” to a convenient spot.
All it takes is time and $$$$! 😎
Mine made me realize why cars now kill people. Beetle has no dash, and that is what bakes the cars insides.
@@charlesmckinley29 I found the fuel pump vapor lock was biggest headache. A 12 volt pump up on the gas tank solved that.
You are absolutely amazing! So talented. 👏 Love the project.
When it’s all said and done, that beetle will be the freshest beetle on the planet! 👏🏻😉
Even if it is hot, you can still do things. Unlike some of us who have winter 4 months out of the year. Can’t do anything when it’s cold. 😔
Before mexico stopped making them, you just took your serial number plate down there and put it on a brand new beetle coming off the assembly line.. Instant fully restored beetle as far as the DMV is concerned.
Those bristle disks from 3M are absolutely amazing!
I'm so stoked for this build Sarah. This must be so fun for you. Going from impossible to work on cars to possibly the simplest easiest car to work on ever made. Can't wait to see more!
Amazing progress in such a short time. And the attention to detail you put into this and all your projects is above and beyond. Yeah, I do hope whoever wins it (if not me) appreciates all the work you're putting into Ragnar.
Love when your OCD kicks in. You have a work moral that many people need.
As one of my close friends always says: "If you're going to do it, might as well over do it!" Amazing work and attention to detail as always ma'am! 😎👍
"When someone sees your work, make sure they admire it". -- My Dad.
"Never knowingly under-engineered!"
Oh baby! Very "above and beyond" throughout this project and all your others too. I truly admire your dedication and your work ethic.
I feel like I couldn't afford your restoration services. You are such a perfectionist your labour alone would mean a second mortgage on the house.
That Beetle will never die once you are finished with it
I know you want to paint it in it's original color, but I think it'd look very cool in a clear coated bare metal. Love that you show what tools you use so we can find them for our projects too.
Just don’t use her terms for them when you go to buy them. You might get hit with a sexual harassment charge. 😎
I agree that a bare metal Bug would be way cooler than any paint scheme… a derelict beetle!!!
I'm Loving these episodes on the Beetle. I'm convinced that no one can do it better than Sarah. It's her attention to the details that will make the final results perfect. Great camera work and editing as well Sarah. Bless you Girl, you are the Best.
You should use a spray bottle next time for the Ospho, makes application much easier.
Watching you do this causes recurring nightmares of when my brother, father and I repaired a 1973 VW Bug. The body was horrendously rusted. We live in Ontario so that Bug saw more than its' fair share of salt over the years. We cut, welded, fabricated more of that car than we should have. We finished it off with rattle cans of blue paint which actually didn't look too bad from 10 feet away.
So satisfying to watch. Inspiring work Sarah!
I don't believe that anyone that watches your channel could win that car and not appreciate all the effort that you put into it.
I think you're doing an amazing job.
Sarah. Your stunningly beautiful as is your beautiful nature and personality. You care so much for the Bugs and creature, wish more people were like you.
Check the front torsion beam to make sure it hasn't been bent. The replaced bumper mount, front fenders that probably weren't stock, and all the damage on the driver side suggest a front end collision bouncing off to run down the side.
Watching you work this project is truly therapeutic. Seeing how you got the body to bare metal was very educational, though realizing you made it seem effortless through time lapse. Looking forward to the next installment Sarah ❤️
Way above and beyond what you anticipated doing, but exactly what we knew you would do. And it's the right thing to do.
Great video Sarah, thanks for helping me start my day with a smile. How can you not love a video with brittlediks and whisper biscuits!
Bristle disk by Scotch-Brite :-)
This Bug is going to be amazing. SO glad you decided to strip it down to the metal and redo the original paint.
Thats why we love Sarah!
Yes mam it is great to see that kind of diligence and care go into building what will be a sensational car and if whom ever wins and doesn’t appreciate it doesn’t deserve to own it .
Great video Sarah!! Love to see your dedication to doing it right.
Sarah, full restoration of coarse, it’s a give away car, you can’t just scuff and paint , you have to strip it and start from clean metal! Great job! Thanks for sharing your time with us!
Nice work Sarah and nice camera/editing too.
Note to Sarah: When thick dust or any other material builds up on the floor, don't sweep. Vacuum. Sweeping puts a lot into the air, which can hang even after you think you are done. And, a lot of the stuff we car wrenchers are dealing with is toxic, so, vacuum instead. Safer. Better.
The phosphoric acid reacts with the iron oxide (rust) converting it to iron phosphate, which is relatively inert. Of course, if you scratched through the new coating, it would rust again
Ive used Phosphoric acid before and it stated in the bottle that it must not dry on panel. Just curious if this is product used by Sarah had any additive which negated this rule?
@@tomspeirs1195 don’t think you read that correctly.
@@SarahnTuned you are correct, my bad. It helps if you can follow direction. Unfortunately this is not my strongpoint.
Great channel Sarah, i like your style
I love the music in this car build. It's like, adding personality to the car somehow.
Amazing Thumbnail!!! You are killing it Sarah! 👍
Yeah, the thumbnail made her look really large. It made me curious. How large is this person really?
I would totally pay money for a giant poster of that picture to hang on the wall in the shop. Sarah can look like a friggin supermodel.. while doing hard manual labor.. in three digit heat.. It's ridiculous.
@@jdisdetermined ABSOLUTELY 💯!!!!
Look into an "air scrubber". We use them in construction for dust capture on the job. Ive used one doing body work. Works wonders. Its like a 12" diameter vacuum.
I so wish I had taken my bug down to bare metal after seeing this. But I had a partner involved with my restoration that also did restore work, and said it was not necessary and seeing as the project was taking place at my job's hanger, time was limited. Seeing this Type 1 brought down to bare metal was educational. That original paint of Beetles is very tough (the whole car was dipped in it. IF you dare open the forward panel to the center tube, you will see the original shiny black paint used as the base coat/ primer used on these vehicles.
Those bristle disc’s do an amazing job. I’ve never seen them before. I need to get me some of those.
Any advice on the best ones to get? What grit did you use?
This one - 'Scotch-Brite Bristle Disc - Coating Removal Disc for Metal - 36 Grit Ceramic Mineral - Molded Abrasive Bristles - 4.5" - Single Pack'. Search for it at Amazon.
Soooo satisfying seeing the paint fly off ur doing a great job 👏
I like your work ethic and that you care enough to get into the small details.
I stayed up until the middle of the night to watch this as it was posted, because that is what true fans do!
Lame
Damn that little green tool would have come in handy back in 2013 when I color changed my car. I've used the yellow version to remove gasket material. Never knew a paint version existed.
Hey 😃. Love the bug project
The sanding was so satisfying to watch
Boy I’m glad to see you’re doing a Volkswagen beetle this was my first car 1968
Your knowledge, sense of humor(?) and abilities are most awesome. Also, love your music selection.
Another great video. I thought you did an excellent job with the time lapse parts. It makes it look real easy but i know you work your ass off on these videos. Well done.
Couple things - Put the "rust mort" ( (c) SEM) in a spray bottle and mist it all over the panel, and wipe it around with a new rag. You could do the whole car in about 10 minutes! Trust me - done it countless times. And don't use glass cleaner to clean it down, use wax and grease remover. The ammonia (and all the other stuff) in almost all glass cleaners can make for an ugly chemical cocktail between it, the acid, the future paint.
Can't wait to see how Ragnar turns out!!! gotta get me some more Sarah stuff to enter more!!!! whoo hoo!!!!
Wow that rabbit hole is deep. Love your work looks great in bare metal but it will look great white too. I'm going out to get those 3M sanding bristle disks can't wait to try them. I'm hoping to win Ragnar I have a spot in the garage for him. 😆 🤣 😂
Hey Sarah, Great time lapse awesome music👍 you’re really going above and Beyond then again it is a 69 beetle how many of them are left glad this one’s gonna be here for a long time. That ospho is great stuff stay cool and have a great one🐧🐧🐧👍
"this is way more than I wanted to get into" Sarah on every project. But, this is what I/we love about the projects. Sarah gets into it. "If it's worth doing, it's worth ding right" also Sarah on every project.
Just a hint, Loctite SF 790 is an awesome paint remover. Has the chemical they removed from all the new paint strippers still in it. It's made for gasket removal(works amazing)
“…above and beyond …”
Sarah,
Every thing you do is above and beyond! I think one of the reasons we all love you so much is your demonstrated belief that there is a right way and all the rest of the ways. You always choose to do things the right way.
Keep the aspidistra flying!
Be well,
Paul
It was inevitable, we saw it coming as you would have it no other way
I appreciate the extra effort for sure.
Sarah - "I can hold my breath for two minutes."
Noted.
I said YOU DIRTY DOG
Hey!
Quit stealing my moves!
Thanks for your relentless commitment !
Glad to see you get the space suit. Your a young woman. Your videos always cheer me up. Thank you for your time.
I have never seen the little green bristly wheels. They work pretty slick!! Coming along nicely!!
Keep up the good work, you are awesome!
Yes.... Beetles come with an aluminum strip down the body sides. If it's not there the body or paint have been redone. There were holes the stripping fit into. Often fall out when washing the car. So they typically get removed during first redone
Dang mad skillz. The 951 needs your attention
Sarah, it's impossible for you NOT to get attached to your builds because you truly put your heart into them. The cars you complete are embodiments of you.
I'm wondering if you spent more money on paint stripper than you would have spent on having it media blasted. I say media, because there are a few different types of material being used to blast the paint off.
Like baking soda and very fine sand, to coarse sand. I've also seen video of someone using water to blast the paint off of a truck. Also you are so right about rust, rust never sleeps, especially if there's moisture in the air and on the metal.
Take it from someone who’s done both multiple times, this was more time efficient and cost less while making less of a mess.
You're rocking it Sarah!!!! Coming from a professional welder and paint repairer, let alone 36 years at G.M., Don't change a thing, only honest advise? Keep that respirator on or close. Cheers from Canada.
Awesome work, I definitely wouldn't mind having Ragnar in my garage. First car was a 66 Karman Ghia and my father has a 67 bug.
Glad to see you have the new PPE -- it will keep you much safer and more comfortable. Great job.
Can we send you $ for entry chances on the bug instead of buying merch? Great job on the bug! Love your work!
Phosphoric acid neutalizes oxidation as it detaches the oxygen molecules from the iron in the steel and replaces them with phosphate molecules. The result is iron phosphate. Navel jelly, which looks like the pink slime from Ghostbusters II has saved me a lot of time in removing surface oxidation on my own project. Phosphoric acid is the prime compound in that as well.
I'm wondering how close to the Desert Mouse livery and body mods are you going to do since you're using the image for your T shirts?
would love to see this end up with the black 5 spoke Fuchs, the oval rear window, and the scoops behind the quarter windows...and maybe the 2000cc type 4 engine of the original as well
For future reference, the cement prep at home depot is the same thing you have in the little bottle but you can get a gallon for around 20 bucks, doing the whole car only helps protect it from rust as the phosphorus is similar to a galvanized coating, looks great girl, nice work 👍
Great job so far, only thing I disagree with (owning a 69 bug myself) is deleting the chrome trim. Doing that robs the car of its character, it looks great when restored and gives the car period correctness. Trust me it will be worth it!!
this is not a restoration, it's a conversion to a class 11 racer
@@mostcom Fair enough, I'd still keep the chrome.
I am loving the weirdness of Sarah’s videos. Also blown away by her expertise in mechanical ability
Love your work ethic my dear Sarah!
Been watching your videos for a while now and must say that you are way better than the instructors I had in Autobody & Paint class. You've been doing outstanding work on every video I've seen. Please do wear that paint respirator. It will save your lungs & sinuses. Plus wear protective clothing. Your skin pores will suck up all that nastiness from paint removal & a respray.
You're very welcome.
I love how OCD you are, Some people might say it's a weakness, I say it's your "gift"!🤔🤭
Very thorough. Nice job, Sarah.
Mad respect that's alot of work stripping to bare metal. Happy I found your channel
I remember back in the old days I used to get that chemical stripper and head to the local car wash at night. Slop it onto whatever I wanted to strip, let it work, and easily hose it off with the pressure washer. Couple of extra bucks to clean the stall afterwards.
Hello from the internet
I was born in Baja California Mexico, near Tijuana. And in the 70's I remember VW Beatles being decorated to looked like a mouse. They had mickey mouse ears, Wiskers, and the exhaust tail was bent up and curled behind it to look like a mouse tail.
if you go back to the creme color you should go full Herbie with the racing stripe.. maybe do them in vinyl so they can be taken off by the winner if they wants.
No Herbie.
You just can't say "Stripper" enough.
I was in the Navy for 6 years. Lived, of course, on saltwater in a steel ship. OSPHO was our friend. We would go through 5 gallon buckets like it was water. That was back in the early '90s. Glad to see that it is still around.
BRZ porn! Seriously though this is my favorite all time Sarah build.
Any time you take an old vehicle back down to metal you are very likely going to find something or other. If it has the old stock clunky intake and carb it would be nice to put dual Kadrons, Webers, somethings on it but the whole package for those including the manifolds, carbs and linkage is notta cheap.
You sure look pretty in yellow girl! Love this project!
I love this beetle. This car needs your attention to detail and care. Thanks for another entertaining video.
Being able to hold your breath for two minutes is very important when you’re swimming
