This video was insanely helpful for somebody like me that's new to these vw 's. I love the "work like a gentleman" lesson, I think that phrase is going to pop into my head whenever I find myself cursing and banging on something because I'm doing it the dumb, lazy way.

Work like a gentleman. Damn straight!!

.thanks Chris for such informative videos! I'm so inspired to get stuck into my 64 beetle on a 68 pan. Bring on Spring!

Thanks for a great video Chris. I'm starting my own '65 project in a few days and this kind of videos gives a lot of information for beginning beetle builder.

Thanks for the great tips, Chris. I love your videos.

Hey thanks for the very informative video Chris your explanations are spot on. Thanks for sharing

Awesome workmanship.

Awesome video Chris Vallone !

Very best video!Thanks Chris!

Thanks! Helped me a lot with my build. Aloha.

I needed this video. There are tons of videos on pan replacement, but not much on the other things that you should do with the body off! I'm planning my pan and heater channel replacement for this summer.

Very informative..beautiful chassis

great video! thanks for posting

Work like a gentleman!

Amazing videos Chris! Thanks!

This is great! I just created my checklist and planning on a JBugs order today. Chris, I’ve become a fan and love your attention to detail. I’ve stripped my 1970 bug down to metal and I’m about to pull it off the chassis for epoxy primer. While off I’ll definitely follow your guidance. Thank you!

just awesome work newfoundland canada thank for the video

What a great video..Really thanks

Love it.. Wish I had one..

Ótimo vídeo. Pena que aqui no Brasil não tem profissionais de funilaria do mesmo nível para fazer esse tipo de vídeo.

Thanks for the comprehensive walkover of the whole chasis. Love the video! I know veedubs quite well already, I am just looking for inspiration and more enthusiasm to kick in. I found some thanks to you :) I am about to start finishing my bug. Wish me luck that I have enough energy and motivaton. Looks like you have got enough :) Nice clean workshop btw, good luck further on bro !

have a same year frame nice job

doing this exact year rebuild from ground up, great video, its really helped. question? where do you buy your new transmission without sending a core, the price you named is about what i can spend, rather just buy outright

Good video my friend 👍

Great video thank's

Chris, nice job on that bug. I would like to know if you have ever repaired the tubes on the rear suspension where the torsion bars go in. I have some rust issues in my bug and don't know if welging there is a good idea. Thanks

thanks

Nice.

Thanks!

Great video! Thank you!

Excelente amigo

Where is the best place for quality German parts? I’ve done lots of work on my 66 thanks to you. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks

My book says if you are going to put radial tires on a 67 or earlier model you must still use tubes inside.

Hi, I do not know if you were the person I said about the youtube channel “Garagem 67”..... If you were not you, then take a look. Anyway, nice video, good job, very professional !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍

Chris do you strip the paint from the new pan halves when you replace them? I’m referring to the black paint that is on the pan halves when shipped.

Visto!

Do you think using bed liner on a car as nice as this 65, could appear to some that you are hiding defects with this coating? If this car was totally rust free underneath ,would you do the same, or prep and paint it a matt black to give the car credit for the condition it''s in?

Won't the chassis rust again where the self tappers are? The chassis looks really nice though!

If your gonna do it. DO IT RIGHT!

Their is a material that covers the middle of the chassis. Mine had that too. Does anyone know what that is and where to find it?? If so can someone plz replay. Thank you

Thanks Chris for the inspiration, I have a 71 Super Beatle convertible. I've been the owner since 1980, an have kept it up the best I can with limited resources & skills. The problem I am experiencing now is finding a old school VW mechanic that can work on my car in my area without a bad attitude . Any suggestions? I love my car but options are limited in my area . Thanks again for the information.

Chris ive been looking for a front and rear decklid for my 1956 beetle (No fiber glass) ive been searching online and i cant find them,Please help me out thanks!! And thanks for sharing your video With us!

If you can say ? Where do you get ur parts ? I have ordered from 4 different companies so far. Some parts stock - some aftermarket ! It's really a hit/miss on getting quality parts. I try for German when I can - can't always justify spending that much extra - even thou I know it the best. My wallet just does not always agree !

hi chris is there replacement rubber that goes over the hump of the chassis i am wanting to get my chassis powder coated and that rubber will have to come off....... what's your thoughts?

Hey Chris, is that a 1600 single port? I thought the singles were 1500, or is it custom to make it look stock?

Is it posible to get a list on all the parts you state in video and where u recommend ordering

All so fill all the cables with oil

Hi Chris, I watched this video with the chassis exposed and I wondered if you have any ideas on how to remove a lock on the shifter on my '60 bug. I purchased it this way and there is no key and I can see no way to remove it. There are no visible nuts or fasteners. One guy said to break it off or cut it off. I just want to put it stock. Best Regards, Mike in CA

What truck liner do you like to use?

Sure now ya tell me, i did it the hard way

What about us little people with / not able to remove?

How much to buy another one from you just like this as is. Please reply. Have questions.

Chris where can I get the tar bord

chris vallone how much you pay for cooker Tyre

Yeahhhh @

Chris: Is that the original I beam? Asking because I had several bugs many years ago and lived in the North, it was almost a common thing for someone with an older VW to hit the brakes hard and have the I beam buckle under from the rustTAKE THAT XXXXXXX MADE IN MEXICO LABEL OFF THAT STEERING DAMPENER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you keep mentioning show standard and detailing yet the jubilee clips on the cv joints are massivly too big and unsightly. surely if you had to fit a jubilee clip you would fit the smallest size that would fit

hi, every one, can someone tell me how to find out my car's year and model so i can buy the right parts i have been buying the wrong parts my car is in my country Morocco thank you for your help in advance. :))))

The old part lasted 50 years a new master cylinder for a Volkswagen will probably only last a year

these are transaxles, not transmissions.

Is there anything that someone like me couldn't do? As far as putting together interior and body parts. Nothing professional though
