    Happy Holidays, Merry Xmas everyone! Thank you for everything you do. I couldn't do it without all of your support! Thank you so much! =) I will try to get another video out next week if all goes well. Stay tuned! "We're Getting There!" =) 😎😎😎🎅🎅🎅

    "TEXAS", your channel is more about how if you have desire and you're not scared, you can get necessary skills by applying one self to the tasks involved in welding and metal fabrication...it's all about production aided by the right tools and TIME, tanks for sharing

    I’ve seen that window repair several times, man what you do is time consuming. About myself, bought a 73. Super beetle, quite driving it in 89, now got it restored, all original parts still intact. Got a 70. Beetle owned since 86. Any way I watch what you do, know you went to Georgia and drug it out of a field. I’ve traced you up in the Connecticut area, don’t know for sure. You’re probably one of the best fabricators I’ve ever seen. Enough of my rant I’m outta here.

    I was watching another RUclips channel where they were working on a VW bug. After the guy welds, he was using a technique called Backlighting where he shines a light behind his welding to find the pinholes and welds them to prevent moisture from in behind his work so it don’t rust again.

    Nice job, only recommendation is to cover up the glass. The grinding sheetmetal and welding close by leaves makes on the glass that you cannot remove. Just something to be consider if you are going house the glass on the quarter window.

  • @darkfactory8082
    @darkfactory8082 2 года назад +4

    Here you go, metal fabrication, which is a lot of fun.. 😉 Sometimes you can get better off if you cut a bit larger piece, the key to lower your frustration with reaching into confined spaces is to plan, cut and weld a line, which is easily accessible and possibly flat, so finishing is also easier. Experience brings you the success and shorter times. Always refer to original cutoffs, if you can, to see the structure. Cheers, Mr. CT, keep on and Merry Christmas to you too. Don't forget to spend a bit of time in family though! 😇

    I've been thoroughly obsessed with these old VW's for over 30 years now but until I saw your videos I never wanted to restore one like this - you've made me think maybe I could do it after all. You're an inspiration mate, keep it up.

    Really like your content. Are you going to work on the 74 250? I think that truck was my neighbors truck by the last name Summers in forest Indiana back in the 1970's and 1980's. I showed the 1st video to my dad and a couple of neighbors and they agreed with me. I'm curious if it is. My dad said the truck went to Florida after the guy that had it died. I have pictures from back in the day with the truck and camper in the background. It won't let me post it here

    • @CTmoog
      @CTmoog  2 года назад +1

      Thanks man! Yes, It might be the same truck. We call it "The Samp Dragon". Someone brought it down from up north and it ended up in the Swamp. I hope we can get some work done on it in 2023. Stay tuned !=)

    Nice going. Why is it better to use blue tape than a marker? Happy holidays.

      Happy Holidays my friend. I like using both. Depends on the application. The tape is nice because it can be easily removed.

    In the end when you’re done with the rust repair, will you attempt to recreate the patina look or will you just keep the new, added grey primer? Great stuff my man! I hope you are Mrs. CT have a nice holiday!

    Awesome repair quite a lot of things going on with this type of repair it's not a easy job, once you start breaking it down a in to smaller element's like you have done it makes it a bit easier. The paint/rust has got a nice look to it.
