Nice H&D work - Love that you used the pan & made it moar low _ Nice touch 👍👍

I love the color of the body and the patina, but please tell me that the dent in the front is going to be massaged out to fix the front grille opening. All your cars are badass. Keep up the awesome builds.

That bolt in air kit is absolutely game changer. This project is turning out to be amazing.

Man this thing is going to be sick!! I gotta tell ya John I love your channel, but every time I watch an episode I’m on marketplace looking for weird off the wall vehicles to bag! 😂 Keep up the great work man!

Excited for more Auto Union awesomess and more!

Yes! e24 rear seats for the 1000SP is a huge win imo, hope it works out!

Nicely done Guys !👍✌

Bring it to south Africa Johannesburg for campfest❤

This has never been a style I was into, but your builds are really cool. The amount of effort you put into the small details sets you apart. Thanks for sharing, love the build.

Awesome stuff buddy lots of love from south Africa Johannesburg

Dude I had forgotten about those seats!! Lots of great work and good ideas for me to slam my Beetle even more one day! Safe travels and looking forward to what’s ahead!!!

Every time I see the rear, I think of 57 Thunderbird!

So fun to see this car come together! All of the hard work you all have done is fantastic! Flat pan for the win! Whole different level for this rare car!

The gas issue is why I use Flux Core, that and I can have a fan going since I am in Florida.

I'm curious just what level of patina you're going to leave. Will you be replacing the completely rotted out areas, or just leaving the rough edges? Either way, it's going to be awesome rolling down the road. I think this is my new favorite body swap project.

In my ghia with a Subaru ej25 turbo motor I made a 3.5” raise plate and a 3” front raise plate. But my car was static and only about a 3/4” off the ground

It’s the Evaresto pronunciation for me now😂. Corey did his thing on those floors he made it look so easy. This build is coming along so nicely I didn’t even notice that dent on the side when I was at the shop I definitely saw the front one and am so glad that it’s gonna get worked out too. Safe travels to you and your Dad can’t wait to see what you guys have up your sleeve. Oh and the tow truck is an absolute must build.

Dude, im so glad to see you reusing the seats for the auto union. going to be insane!

John you could cut out floor panel and flip it up side down. Left to right, right to left

I'd like to see how the inch trans raise works with only raising the engine side and not the whole trans. I have a bug with a 1 inch raise and had to weld in a mid mount and also swap to a type 2 bus nose cone to use my factory shifter rod. Going to be nice to see how it works.

BRAVO!!!!!

Killer build, that frame head needs a pie cut

Wheels are fire!!!!!

The COE is Cummins down! Heck yea!

Great video again, loving the progress 🙌

This car is just so cool!

If your seat brackets end up requiring a bit of vertical spacing, might the flat panning have been done by cutting out the deeper sections at their upper surrounds, inverting them once swapped side for side, then seam-welding them back in? Great series.

Such a good build! Will you be bending the dent out of the front at all? Also spied you wearing a Build Create hoody, been following Chris’ Brat ‘ since what feels like the 1800’s 😅, his attention to detail is insane!

My friend flat planed his beetle floors

John Ludwick, big basketball guy?

leave the front dent. it looks like the car is making a stinkface, love it.

How many times have us guys that drive slammed swing-axle cars pulled into a local car show & someone asks if your rear ‘wheels’ are broken?? If ya know ya know!!

What’s that engine out of?

So their bolt im airride kit will lay flat pan???!

🤙🤙

please reshape the front back to its cool shapes and curves. Patinas good but ugly is just ugly
