  • The 1956 Volkswagen Beetle was sitting for 40 years before we pulled it from it's soon to be grave. Today the metal work begins as we weld in the body bracing on the oval. Body removal to access the chassis and removing the seized engine are next. Join along on the journey of this forgotten old car revival series.

    7:00 it may be boring too you, however it is basics and that is what beginners need...not to mention where I'm from in Aussie the rules here are very strict regarding safety...awhile parts here are more than double in price compared to what you pay! In other words in Aussie you need a lot of resources if you want to rebuild cars or restore them...custom building cars here is also frowned-upon by the authorities and if modded too much will not pass rego inspection!

    Hello sir, great job.
    I made a rig that fits inside the car. It has two tubes (square) one smaller than the next, so that one can slide into the other. And when expanded to be welded or connected in place. Can be bolted tight. With bolts through both sliding pieces. If that makes sense.
    This is my third car I’m working on now. And it works perfectly still.
    I don’t have to find or manufacture something every time.
    On the rearward part, mine has ears with holes so that it can be bolted using seat belt bolts above the rear heater channel.
    Probably older cars do not have seat belts though.
    Also, I have straps front and rear. So that landscape Timbers can be inserted, and using pump carts to remove the body from the pan.
    So, the bracing is reusable and removable, and can be used to separate the halves.
    Again thank you for sharing.
