Graig that back window with the rad in it.i think it would look cool with a louvered cover on it and if you put alot of slits it shouldnt even affect cooling ability.but would help deflect sand of radiator cause sand will just slide off,but air can still be pulled in.just a thought decided to throw out there.snooky pa.
It’s insane the work you do for someone who has taught themselves everything they know. Really impressive and amazing to watch you design and develop these custom pieces. Keep up the cool and awesome work Craig
Inspiring build fr. You can take a torch with map gas and and gloss out the rough cut edges of that acrylic for an extra touch that looks premium. But the rough cut (matte) edge will light up better because it "stops" the light
just get an affordable bender, isn't ideal or the best, but its under 500 with a die and it will get you by pretty well. I built a whole baja bug with one. it can be upgraded with a air over hydaulic bottle jack and makes it even better.
11:00 See, I'd extend the fender starting point all the way to the lower rear corner of the door. Makes it look even bigger/cooler, AND it's more (theoretically) aerodynamic.
"Cause I'm Bob the freaking builder "🤣 Craig I been watching you for years man. From back when you first started this crazy adventure. You seriously inspire me to work on my projects and hell maybe try the RUclips with my projects too. Anyways I appreciate all the work and content you and your team produces!
With that wild wing on there, it'd be kinda cool to do a dorsal fin type thing on the roof out of the same acrylic. I'd love to do something with this on my bug, but it's a convertible convertible
I think you should take a scrap of that acrylic and sand one side with 600 grit or spray it with some matte clear coat and see how much more it will light up. Same for the edges. They should have a frosted appearance and where the led’s are mounted, polish the edges to allow maximum amount of light to enter the acrylic. It is acting like a fiber optic.
wat you couldve done on those corners is guess where the horizontal bar buts against it and transfer the circle over the point , then go to the verry rear of the corner and draw lines from the corners of the circle you drawn on there down to the fardest point and cut the triangle off the point then make the ends of the horizontal bar so the quarter circle you transfered to the corner ends up as a flap passed the cut where it gets welded to the front of the back/vertical part once you have the bottom 3/5 pipe welded you can hit and shape the flap so it fills in the triangle you cut out the corner , gives it a smoother transition fron rount intoo a rounded hexagon corner
Sorry, if i missed it, but make sure that you have some protection behind you from that radiator overheating and spewing hot liquid all over you! I remember a few years ago, that happened to a dude at a Cleetus and Cars burnout contest. They even changed the cooling in the Mystery Machine because of it.
One day you will be able to comfortably afford a pipe bender. Keep up the work buddy👊🏼🤘🏼. Ps I hate fords and am a die hard Chevy fan but maaaan I can’t help but to love your first f100 lol sounds so pissed iff
Im afraid the wing will be shattered from ture throwing stuff up during first ride. No cam gear covers give me anxiety from debris going in the timing belt 😂

Favorite build series!! My dream is to have a baja bug like this…keep making update videos on this bug it’s so rad!🤘🏼
The wing and fenders came out bad ass. I really like this little car.

Dude that back wing will be sick! Should try to have the headlights match and/or interior in that same kinda orangish/yellow color

Such a great attitude towards these projects. Love it.
Roge fab has a tube bender kit for right around $1000 and I’ve seen a lot of other RUclipsrs use it and like it
I’m enjoying all the VW content, it’s coming along nicely with your changes . Keep up the great work. Cheers 🇨🇦
Looks killer! Dreams into reality, unique ideas and fab on the fly is my favorite way to build. Good work!

Loving this build, super sick!
Retired fitter and those joints looks fantastic for what you’re using it for. 👍🏼

One of my favorite builds. Love it man.
Not even into buggys all like that but I love me a good build video. Def following can't wait to see what it'll turn into. 👏

Good work man! Really enjoying the channel, keep it up!
Favorite videos from you in a while. 👍🏻
" DO IT!!". Love that, Craig. Thanks
You have been bitten buy the bug(LOL) . You do these thing because it is you passion. Keep up the great work!😁👍
Do you plan on putting lighting either on the wing or below it for like chase/brake lights?
wat you couldve done on those corners is guess where the horizontal bar buts against it and transfer the circle over the point , then go to the verry rear of the corner and draw lines from the corners of the circle you drawn on there down to the fardest point and cut the triangle off the point
then make the ends of the horizontal bar so the quarter circle you transfered to the corner ends up as a flap passed the cut where it gets welded to the front of the back/vertical part
once you have the bottom 3/5 pipe welded you can hit and shape the flap so it fills in the triangle you cut out the corner , gives it a smoother transition fron rount intoo a rounded hexagon corner
Put led strips on the part of the yellow acrylic that touches the body, it’ll light it up nice
great stuff thanks, nice work on the bug
Greg got bug turned out awesome dude you did a wonderful job man keep on keeping on man I can't wait to see it when it's done
this is why you went to school for 6 years and still learning. i wish i knew even part of what you’ve forgotten!
I need that Holley clock in my garage, pretty slick.

Yes, a louvered back window cover would look cool .Old school Louvers
The bug is sick! Playing Wreckfest on xbox it looks like Bugzilla without the spikes lol . Great fun to be had in that Bug can;t wait to see thanks
...how do you remove the new rear cage? you know, in case you need to remove the motor. Nice welds!
HEY CRAIG That's. Awesome great detail and thinking
Looking good!
I love this bug content.
Great work guys
ive been waiting for this video
Yes that wing is badass
A little spray paint goes a longgg way lol! My kind of build ✊🏽
One day you will be able to comfortably afford a pipe bender. Keep up the work buddy👊🏼🤘🏼. Ps I hate fords and am a die hard Chevy fan but maaaan I can’t help but to love your first f100 lol sounds so pissed iff
Wazzup w the galaxy??
Gold intake would go with gold aircleaner on the F100
If I'm not mistaken you can use a heat gun on acrylic and it'll be more flexible
Don’t even watch the video before I like, second I click it’s liked, high quality content every time!
Baja Bug time!!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Very coool !!!!
Gussets would add a lot of strength to them welded joints.
For the brake lights, you should do some type of LED strip F1 inspired.
Leeeeetsss gooo craiiig🔥🔥
Dude!!!! Sick!!!!
Yes indeed Awesome
Cam Pulleys need to be gold
How much down force can that wing handle?
dont build the same thing as everybody else. damned right. great job
looking sweet
Were is The Galaxie?
" Bob- the freakin' builder". 😂😂😂 That's reaching WAY the fuck back...
Are you gonna be able to pull the motor out without having to cut all your back half off?
Badass brother
Needs a gold poly visor now to match
Badass love it
Im afraid the wing will be shattered from ture throwing stuff up during first ride. No cam gear covers give me anxiety from debris going in the timing belt 😂
A miter cut roll cage is better than no cage at all
Do you still have those Galaxies?
Kevin from junkyard digs sent me!
Looks like there is enough room for 2 more cylinders.....
👍
More Baja content
Wrinkle paint the valve covers and intake.
Shop is a disaster.
Sharp edges on a bug? Come on man
