That VW deserves more video time on KZfaq.

As a former 1968 1500 owner for 13 years, your car is just amazing. I'm lost for words as to the amount of alterations, work, modifications, etc. that you've put into this vehicle. I want one! ( more than a merc. or a Bentley, or whatever) !

I love how genuinely happy this guy appears to be to just get to talk about his build.

That guy is way too modest. That thing is freakin' awesome!!!

You can hear the joy in his voice as he walk us through is car. Keep up the great work pops!

we need engineers like this guy to build cars i would love to own one like this.

If you can design a kit version of this, it would sell like hotcakes.

As the owner of nine VW beetles over the years, all I can say is "Wow!" You have done an unbelievable, impressive job. Every weak link, every soft spot in these vehicles you have addressed and hit head on! Amazing!

Best off-road bug I ever seen! So dope

I'm generally a stock type vehicle guy, but if you're going to do mods this is a good example of what a modded vehicle should be

This car is even cooler because of how humble that dude is about it. Everything is tastefully done.

Very cool bug👍🏼👍🏼

That thing is epic! Jamie obviously knows how to fabricate and it shows! Very nice rig!

This is probly the best self built car in the whole world.. and some parts are salvage.. This guy can build.. man, this is awesome..

I always go back to this rig. I love it!

One of the best re-purposed vehicles I've ever seen.

Great showcase of this man's skills as a builder. Thanks for sharing

Wow awesome bug and love the colour choice man. Amazing detail and workmanship.

In a sea of JKUs, RTTs, and million dollar earth roamers, there’s this little home-built jewel that embraces simplicity and functionality.

I had a Baha Bug back in the late 70s and it was a blast to drive. This was the time when four wheeling took off and guy's were putting a lot of money in their trucks. We had a steep hill at the watershed and my Baha would beat all the trucks in the hill climb. It would also beat them in the mud pit as it had a skid plate and would just skip across the mud. Man, I had a lot of fun beating those high dollar trucks.

Love a well thought out, useful, and well engineered vehicle.

This is so cool. Really nice job using some awesome skills man. Thanks for sharing.

I wish you many memorable journeys in your awesome and one off Bug..... Truly special. Truly built to last. Thank you for showing us this beauty.

Had a Baja Bug back in highschool and absolutely loved it.

Best Bug I've seen yet and I was born in 67, so I've seen a few. Great vision, great taste, great engineering. All equals......Great Bug!

Best restoration I've ever seen, that's for sure. Cheers to the builder 🍻

I had a 1964 VW convertible BAJA bug. The front end was cut and turned, pan reinforced, '67 H block, EMPI intake single port D heads, zenith 32 NDIX carb and the best part was the 1963 Bus trans axle with gear reduction boxes. Along with full roll cage, tilt font ned., 18 gallon 'long ranger' gas tank. and so on... A fun ride, for sure!

Jamie, that is the best conversion I have ever seen.

I love restorations on bugs like these. Its so versatile. Though I love stock restores, but this just takes the cake honestly. It's so beautiful!

NICE!!! One off with great ideas. Enjoy your trip and share the ride.

Absolutely blown away! That is a MASTERPIECE ! a work of art! What a spectacular job!! WoW!

Had a 72' super beetle in HS, miss that canary love machine. This guys baja overland bug is way nice. Good work! Thanks for sharing.

I love that,back in the day I ran many a bug and Things.They are great offroad vehicles when built a little ;that is a dream off road bug.I love how you kept the stock body and did not Baja it.If I could find a decent one I would try to duplicate yours somewhat.Outstanding.

Miss my 67 baja was great if you ever got stuck you just got out grabbed the bumper and lifted it up out of the hole . Thx adolf for the memories lol.

Neat and clean work clearly show that he is perfectionist. Great job buddy

That is the neatest vehicle I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing! Fabulous job! Man, I'd love to have one just like it!

The Bug is pretty sweet. I even like the color you painted it. All that hard work, being able to enjoy it is huge...

Nice! And could sell if produced in series! Very good looking and versatile! Here the term "Superbug" makes sense!

What a nice little off road truck... So well designed and nice proportions ... Love it....

Love the weld beads every inch on the seam in the dash! My pops had a 67 bus but that thing is sweeeet!

This is an amazing build. Love the thought and time put into it

This one is tough as a nail. Congrats on build. I have been driving Bugs since 80's (currently driving '66 and restoring '74) and this is one of the best and most purposefull conversion I have ever seen.

I see this vw everyday in Tuscaloosa going to 82 off of i20 .. never thought I would see it on KZfaq 😂😂.. I’m working on my 67 bug and this popped up on the recommend

You created a gem out of a classic gem

That’s one of the rare off road bugs I’ve liked. You’ve got me thinking maybe my 72 needs to go off road.

Dude! That is one of the sharpest off road bugs I have ever seen - good job!😎👍

Beautiful Bug. You should be very proud of yourself. It's a beauty. Great build.

love these builds, so unique and looks like a blast to drive.

Love the ground clearance he achieved and new hp output of that engine.

Friggen love it, want one myself, and I’ve never been a VW bug fan.

This is a bad ass ride. Not a fan of bugs, but this has a spot in my heart

Nice Bug... Looks like you put a lot of thought, engineering, work and love into it...

Wow, beautiful beetle .you're good at narrating as well, as well as your voice

Well. This VW deserves a documentary.

Very talented guy with one of a kind bug. Well done sir.

Awesome Baja build !!!!! And I'm loving that you kept it 100% VW power in then engine !!!👍 Very well thought out build , Fantastic job!!!

My dad enjoys telling me about doing the Rubicon in a VW Bug back in his Air Force days in the early 60s. They got out and lifted/winched it over the few really gnarly spots.

Damn, Boy, What a handsome Johnny ! That down slope rooftop tire and hi-Jack holder is just killin' it. You gots some serious style. And Bucket Boss, too. Fine, fine, fine, to be sure. Here's wishin you many happy miles & smiles.

Beautiful work of art from a craftsman......

that is the best bug i ever seen and i live in mexico city, no body has more bugs than us !!! i love it !! best work ever

Probably the coolest bug ive ever seen! Nice work man!

The overlander version of a "Baja Bug." Pretty cool. Yesterday I saw a Toyota Highlander 4WD lifted and decked out with off-road gear. It was a surprise, but also very cool.

I had a 68 baja bug on 30's. I was crazy in the mountains with that thing! Never stuck! Very cool man!

Awesome job and attention to detail. Bug looks great and must be very capable off road , well done!

Dude I’m a huge vw fan so this is a work of art in my opinion

Beautiful bug.. That's one hell of a bug out vehicle 👍👍

Such a beauty.....absolutely stunning

Love your bug you have fitted it out so well My Volkswagen bug we had fifty years ago one holiday drove 4 children 2 adults, two and half thousand kilometers my 12 year old son learn to drive at 12 years old around the farm My daughter had a 4 years use at uni

That's really cool! 👍🙂

That cutting brake is pretty freaking cool.

I miss the smell of and sound of them. We used to play SLUG BUG when we would travel as kids with our parents. Every time we saw a Bug you slugged someone. That's a beautiful ride brother.

😱 has always love with bug.. + color + new modifications ❤️❤️. That look a beautiful masterpiece..

I'm not really into VW's but this one gets my attention.

Damn-um man.....I love it! You can tell this guy has the love for automobiles and he obviously is a smart man innovating and adapting. Great job Jamie. I hope we can meet one day.

This is bad ass bug. I have been a bug lover for sometime now ..great job

This has to be the best,sleekist and great looking beetle and offroader custom mod

Great work on this build.

Badass Whip

Stellar work and craftsmanship--truly a labor of love!

Now that is incredible, that is one beautifully crafted off road bug, stunning 👏👍👌😍🐞

That's bad-ass! I love Baja bugs!

THIS OLD HIPPIE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU BUILD A 1970 POP TOP CAMPER BUS THE SAME WAY

This is one mean bug ... amazing work done on it.

Cool rig!!! Always loved Baja bugs!!!

Absolutely fantastic build!!

Awesome Bug! reminds me of coming across a very similar looking one in the Namib desert on a 4X4 trail some years ago. The owner had transplanted the Syncro 4X running gear into the beetle.

Love this..my late bro in law woulda loved this

Can't even stand this thing but really appreciate the level of awesomeness it took to build!

Completelly awsome this car. Beautiful
