Just got a rusted all to peices 72 bug. Thanks for all your valuble info. Its been a lot of years since i worked on a bug. This will really help.

Very good video! That gap will close up with the rubber in it. I applaud you! You did this alone without help

Hi mate ,you have taught me alot ,thanks for your videos.I have been doing exactly the same.

Thanks a lot for sharing this video. So encouraging, I will be doing this soon alone as well. Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺. 👍

Another great video, very interesting to see the door alignment after the removal of the chassis.

Great video! You’re making great progress. Excellent job on the doors 👍

Although the patina look is not my cup of tea the work you’re doing here is excellent, thorough and impressive and you are preserving the car for future generations. Looking forward to the completion!

Love your patience....and it pays off!!

Subscribed... nice to see another rescued beetle... look like you did a nice clean job on getting those welded in 👍

love all your videos 👍 i like the way you take your time & explain everything keep up the great work & thanks

nice step by step doing it one man.

excellent work friend, for everything to be perfect you have to do it yourself, congratulations! Saludos!!!!

Great work I’ve just ordered heater channels for my 1970 bug

Nice work man

Nice work, I made a jig to support the A to B pillars, a cross brace between. Did one side at a time.

This is a great video and explanation...

I have the same problem ,not many helpers 10 years running,lots of progress these last 2 years. My fist try '71 convertible SB

Thanks for testing the braces theory

Awesome video, I’m doing much the same on a 68 beetle that I picked up recently from the crusher. What front suspension are you using and what pedal assembly- they look trick. Keep up the great work!

Love to know how different the bug feels to drive after all this work and expense! Are those stock 155/80 on the front?

You talk about shimming for final door alignment. Where do you shim at. Thanks David!

You have the link for the exhaust tubing? Thanks, great vid. Currently doing a full restoration on a '67 bug and your tips are helping with those head scratcher moments. And I see you have a 2 circuit master cylinder for the brakes. Did you convert it? If so are there any issues with cylinders or brake lines regarding pressure? I'm thinking from a safety pov to upgrade from single to dual.

Hello there I noticed you also purchased new metal piece where the heater box house connects to the fiberglass tube that goes thru the chassis. What is that piece called. I need to buy it too to repair mine. I have a 1971 super beetle.

Great video, im very impressed with your work! However I do have one question, why didnt you fully weld up what you could while the body sat on the chasis? wouldnt it make sense to fully weld the thing up while its in position?

Question: Shouldn't we have hit the bare steel areas with weld-thru primer before we set the body down on the pan?

Good video but u forgot the rubbers in between the body and rear shock towers and lower rubber in the front beam

When the door is closed should the very bottom of the door butt against the outside of the heater channel or should it sit on top of the heater channel and the inside sill of the door butt against the lip where the carpet strip would be?

How did you properly adjust door hinges to line up door

great video. can i ask how you got the 2 back bolts in on the floor to heater channel. as my floors came with the jacking points already on the floor. there is no way i can get the bolt in with the bracket. Do i need to cut a bit off?

Surely everything needs to be hard down as the gasket raises up every surface by the same amount if you get my drift😋

Do you have a link to all the sheet metal parts you used? My 65 is from Washington and well I have a ton of work ahead.

Where is the rubber Cushion between the body?

No weld through primer??

Do you have the link for the tube
