Congratulação
Around 1972/73 my oldest brother rolled his ‘70 beetle and smashed in the top. He drove it that way for about a year until he found another body then he and my brothers swapped out the bodies in the side yard of our parents house. I haven’t seen a bare rolling VW pan since then! This is a great project!
Dear CT,
The way you’ve sealed with the chassis of the 1955 VW Beetle looks so much more professional as with rhe chassis of the VW Karmann Ghia but we think the Karmann was more like a school for you for which you your master degree with the Beetle 😂. We think you have to go for a full restoration of the entire car because it will bring you a car with an unbelievable value. We wish you lots of success with the rest of the refit and wish you as well as Cynthia and the rest of your family all the happiness of the world plus we send you ❤️ from the Netherlands.
Best regards,
Willeke and Dick de Graaff
Beautiful transformation!
I’m also a VW lover , me , I would redo the whole bug like it was brand new . And drive it daily… but that’s just me . Good to see that this one is making it to life …❤
Good for you CT getting something finished.
Details of this build = nothing less than fantastic!
Thank you! =)
Incredibly satisfying to watch.
Great job CT! Now that's a roller'.
I like the look of the original stock wheels and tires, personally.
Beautiful work !
Thanks Adam! They are pretty cool! =)
You are killing it.
Waching this journey on this bug is given me some learning as well great job CT thanks for sharing 👍💯
I always found building the chassis is the most rewarding part of the restoration. I think you're finding it that way as well. Keep up the ecellent work and videos,
Your cruisin right through this build. Love the progress that you have made
You are doing a great job CT 👏
Excellent work
Excellent job, I refurbished a 1956 Chevy Stepside pick-up truck in South Africa recently taking 16 years to complete as all the work was meticulously refurbished just as you have done here. The only exception was that I used a copper based anti-siege grease on all chassis and body nuts and bolts. I sadly sold it last year as I returned to the UK. Keep up the good work
Love the 5-wide wheel look! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍
Great video and very instructive even without dialogue. I've watched many VW restos and done my own too. One thing I wish you could help us all with, even though it might be hard to do, would be to talk about part costs as you go through the process. No one ever tells how much it costs to do these. Since you are doing the whole thing, it might help others know what they might expect to dole out. I keep a log, but hearing it at points along the way would be great.
I agree with you that it is looking better. A little trick I learned on you seam sealer is to put masking tape down on both side of the seam gives you a good clean line of sealer.
Thanks Richard! Great tip! = )
I like your methodology.. lay all the parts out you'll need before installing...great vid
Always good to see Adam Savage do a resto.
Coming along nicely. Please keep the original matching patina wheels. Looking forward to your next vid.
It’s coming along great! You’re doing such a good job. I really like watching this build! I enjoy all your videos as well!
Please don't stop doing these restorations because I cant find anyone else who shows all the details you do and I'm 17 and wanna get into this stuff.
Thank you! =)
I did almost the same kind rebuild when i was stationed in Germany. Lots of memories!!
It's great to see the beetle come back to life, congratulations and thank you for sharing!
Fantastic CT work to be proud of.
That feeling when it goes from a pile of parts to a roller .. awesome build . Been a fun series . Looking forward to the next upload
Thanks man! 👍
Hi there CT as you say, looking good 🙏👍🚘 so much work into that classic car . Just waiting for the next film. / P-a from Sweden
CT you’ve got the rolling chassis rebuild down!
Looking great. It's such a good feeling when you start out with scrap and it ends up looking and being new! Taking an angled reading on the spring plate whilst it's on the stops won't tell you anything. You need to set the angle whilst the plates are not rested on the stop.
Right on on the spring plate readings; if they’re on the stops you cannot measure anything; they’ll be in the same place all the time. The point of that is to measure the resistance or stiffness of the torsion bars.
Stock is fine Looks amazing CT!!
Me and Dad like the beetle. He has a 1983 with a 1.6 liter engine in black. We are VW and FIAT enthusiasts. We live in the south of Brazil in the city of Florianópolis. Good job! Hugs!
Excelente trabalho, ansioso para ver a parte da carroceria. Parabéns , 🇧🇷✌
I love it. A '66 Beetle was bought new by me as my first car after high school graduation. As a kid I unfortunately drove it into the ground prematurely. I'd love to have another to treat much better this time.
Parabéns pelo trabalho de recuperação de veículo antigo , faço o mesmo trabalho no meu dia a dia, gosto muito desta modalidade da área mecânica , quando vejo esses vídeos , me lembro qua do eu era ajudante na oficina, ainda estava aprendendo a profissão....
Hoje tenho 54 anos e comecei a trabalhar aos 11 anos de idade, sempre na área de mecânica...Parabéns pelo capricho do seu trabalho, muito Bom...
Abraço companheiro...
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! Brings back memories! I had a 1960 Bug, a 1970 Bug and a Bug chassis and a fiberglass body with a Corvair turbocharged engine in my youth!
Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed it! =)
I've seen you disassemble a couple cars... But this build is the best!!!
Back in 1978 I my 1st car was a 65 Beetle, Beige with a sliding metal sunroof. I loved it. But when they broke down, they were just finished...my car had a solid floor pan, after 2 motor jobs, I found a 67 beetle... best of luck!!
Trabalho espetacular show o Brasil acompanhando essa montagem um Trabalho perfeito parabéns da gosto de assistir
Good job, I'm using the same tires from ''Petlas'' manufactured in Turkey on my Citroen C 3 I'm very satisfied with them. they are quite durable, comfortable, and very affordable tires.
C.T., I've learned a lot from your videos. I like your attention to each detail as you work. Kudos to you for always wearing your safety gear even if it is uncomfortable. Thank you for sharing your acquired knowledge with us.
Been following your work, very happy to see it pay off! Keep on cranking!
This is really exciting. I sure hope you stay “stock” with all of it. I really do.
Viejo eres increíble, tu trabajo es impecable, también tengo un bug 93' y aun que es más nuevo que este, que más quisiera poder tener las capacidades de poder llevarte mi auto y hagas un trabajo de esta calidad y y con ese amor de hacer "Un Buen Trabajo" ... te mando un fuerte abrazo desde el sureste de México, y decirte que ya tienes un nuevo seguidor, contunuare mirando como pones en marcha esta belleza de auto y lo echas a rodar. Dios te bendiga siempre.
I love these chassis vids for the wide open and well photographed view of the engineering, structure and mechanics the Beetle. It taught me a lot and instantly answered questions I was curious about. Its a great video guide. Thanks.
Muito bom...
Está ficando ótimo...
Tô ansioso pra saber da reconstrução do motor, ou vai ser um todo novo. 🇧🇷
Wow that's looks awesome 👍👍👍 Great job. It's coming right together.
Practice makes perfect and you are definitely getting better, before you know it you will be a VW expert.
Thanks Richard!
You have demonstrated good housekeeping and safety methods. Very instructive methods on thus far. Looking forward to your next episode of this rebuilding project.👍
Stellar work dude! Chassis looks fabulous.
Thanks buddy!😎
@@CTmoog Be safe this week brother, don’t let anything happen to you guys with this storm
Fantastic progress keep it up
Keep going with your projects, it's so Nice to watch. I'm rebuilting an old Volkswagen type 3 here in Brazil on my house, is a huge Challenge to me, but never surrender!
So cool CT! 😎 Really looking forward to your next video on this.
outstanding !😎-you have all king of tools for a job well done.-congratulations on your enterprise- 🚗
Awesome detailed build CT. Love the smile on your face. It says yeah!
Excelente trabajo, me encanta !!!
that buggy is gonna travel STRAIGHT as an arrow down the road, well done!
Dear Reader,
The Roman Senator Cato always seems to have ended his speeches in the Roman senat with the sentence: "By the way, I'm of the opinion that Carthago have to be destroyed".
This is an important and possitive step in the reconstruction of the VW Beetle, very well executed by Mr. CT. Well, done, Sir.
By the way, I'm of the opinion that the VW Ghia has to be restored after this project.
Once, the Roman Senat decided that they indeed would destroy Carthago. So perhaps my remark will help to restore the VW Ghia in the near future.
I do hope so.
Michel F. van den Brun
Viewer, started to watch the chanel of Mr. CT, at the moment he reconstructed the Ghia.
What a great change!
Coming along great! 👍🏻
That is a work of art
Great job I know how enjoyable that kind of accomplishment can be ,enjoyed watching
Good job! You are an excellent mechanic, service of someone who knows the mechanics of the Volkswagen Beetle.

So satisfying to watch. Got me motivated to go in my garage and finish my 60 bug. The only thing holding me back right now is my air compressor went out.
Excelentes videos ,excelente trabajo desde Monterrey Nuevo León México ,siguiendo cada semana el avance,saludos
Estupendo,eres un verdadero artista, gracias por el vídeo
Awesome work! Thanks for sharing.
WOW!!!!! I need to get a 65 N O W!!! Your inspiration & dedication, not to mention the tear down & the build up, complete with part tear down, step by step rebuilding (G O D , you make the process EASY! Like making your F A V O R I T E cake and someone else has already premixed the ingredients & pre-heated the oven❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Soo Nice!
Great detail thanks.
Really, Really well done buddy. Watching you swing that chassis around was a little nervous to watch but you managed to save it 😊 It. Really is a shame that I don’t live closer. You’d be that neighbor I’d love to have and help with your projects. The beetle is gonna have some real value now when your done 👍🏻 I can also tell your going faster because of the real familiarity of the VW build. Wonderful videos, cool enthusiasm, terrific channel CU Soon!
I like the way you guys work and get things done with more work and less talk, I enjoy watching you, and no drinking on the job keep it up, I can't wait to see the bug complete with a 2.4 Subaru motor in it.
Perfect ! ! !
Awesome work on the pan and the accessories you installed,
Awesome looking chassis 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👋👋
Awesome job! I have a couple to rebuild also. You have been a great help on what to do
Great job, 👍 I love to see the complete building of your car
Looking great , I think it would look good lowered more , and patina paint is awesome , glad u going that way with it 👍👍 roll on , enjoy watching 😬😬😬
Estás haciendo un excelente trabajo! 👍👍✔✔
Looking Sweet !
beautiful!
MAGNIFICENT WORK❤
what I like about this guy is that he doesn't listen to himself talk, he acts.
Yes I agree with you But did he assemble the breaks before he put the weels on? Or did he forget?
love watching the beetle come back to life
Perfect Job.
Man, wish I knew how to do that, you make it look easy, Great job! That bug is gonna look, drive and feel, so nice!
Also, 41:11 transmission.
Have you run that transmission around, shifted through the gears?
If I were you. I’m not, but if I were.
I would build a brace for the left side floor pan, and a brace for the steering wheel.
Install a seat, and drive that around without the body.
And fix all the problems your going to have…BEFORE. You get the body on.
And
If that weren’t enough…ha ha ha.
Was that GL 4 you were putting in that transmission?
The books says GL 4 only , due to the type of synchronizers in the transmission.
Great job though..
Looks like a lot of satisfaction
I can't wait to see it coming back to life and hit the 🛣️ .
Excellent video. Best I have ever watched on RUclips restoring an automobile professionally. My sincere congratulations. Excellent job!! I really enjoy it. You are the best!!!
