Thank you very much!, it is a great tutorial

To much work unnecessary! I have done many just with one bar screwed on! No welds

I'm going to be buying a 69 off of some friends, and I've been wondering. What are some of the ideal places to get parts for these besides ebay?

those throw out bearing clips are a PITA. They work well but I've wrestled a lot installing them.

This being used as a dub-hauler is soo awesome, cant wait to see the progress, Please keep posting content. You need that sickass AXE for the side of it again w/ Callahan's Garage Gold Leafed on the side!

Any VW guys in Louisiana?! I ended up getting a WRX for the motor but ever since I got it home I can’t stop thinking about an AWD rally bug 😅.

Finally a bug video with commentary!

dude, this looks so fucking awesome

A lot of people were badly injured in the 70s and 80s while doing this when the shavings caught fire, it burns hot and fast. Be careful while doing this. Callahan makes a great point to be safe.

Are you heading to Volks jam this weekend In Alabama. I remember you saying you were Ga. I am getting close to starting my 2 projects 74 bug and 71 fast back hope to have one in the show next at least be able drive it up there. I am enjoying all the content really liking the VW

good job,I've never done this before

Good video. Well done.

Got me in my feels. Love that year model hearse ( I have one I wrecked it tore the grill area up)

Fantastic job man! The beadrolling looks so good! Keep it up. Your metal work is great!

Callahan, is there something sacrificial that causes all the sparks in the intro?

Love this build! As a fellow lover of Vws and Hearses I applaud you sir!

I am Glad to see your project coming along so well. Wish I could say the same for mine. I am working to get mine into my shop so I can replace the frame head. Alabama is a little warm this time of year for some reason. Once I get it road worthy I intend to start on my fast back. I am looking forward to that but a little intimidated too. I have to fab up a trunk floor (rear around engine ) I’m not a sheet metal guy but I have stayed at a holiday inn express before so I guess I’ll pretend to be for a while. Enjoy the videos thanks

Gangster hearse, yeah. Swizzle!

excellent video as usual, question do you know if those style door grab handles will work on a 1970 ?

Very true

Sweet ride

We love all your videos working a VW beetle! You are great at explaining and showing what you are doing! We are learning so much and it will help us with our Beetle restoration

I recommend to have extras of roll pins. You will lose them especially the more times you get back into the door. Drill bits work in a pinch,cut to size.

Nice, nice, nice

Awesome video, @callahansgarage! Thanks for sharing the design. Have you ever thought of using hatchback gas struts to keep it from rotating or tipping too fast?

I never would have though if the “work-hardened” aspect of this. Thank you!

What city and state are you from?

What city and state are you from?

Always excellent content Callahan. You are a great teacher.

I love the way the Cadillac came out very beautiful Work. I have a 66 Cadillac are you interested in doing mine?

🙌🏾💯🙌🏾

I love the look!! Nice job

Hey man love your videos, i have a 1973 beetle and is the love of my life, could you do the front too? Thanks!!

New subscriber. Bro, great video. I like what you ate don't with these cars.

LFG!!

what size are the wheels? look a little bigger than 13's

Can I Hire you to do my 59? Needs some a piller repair, pans, and heater channel. 🤓

Great information! Great presentation!

Dang lol took me 30 minutes last year 😳…. Thanks

Great video cheers

Just an observation concerning the notching of the spring plates…. If I did it I would then weld on a reinforcement plate below the notch if that’s a concern! Is there a clearance problem?

I stumbled on your channel after jumping into the VW world with both feet and probably head first. I bought a 74 standard beetle and a 71 fastback. Both are in fairly good shape the Bug needs a frame head and a few minor repairs. They both have been sitting for a 15yrs or more. I have started the Bug, it sounds good. I am picking up a good bit of knowledge watching your videos. Just wanted to say thanks for your time. I live in Alabama so I understand the heat and humidity you are dealing with

middle age dudes? wtf man???

Love that color. But the music sucks.

Very helpful. I want to be able to adjust my height (front and back) just a bit. And don't want to take it all apart to make a small change. Thanks for covering the basics and options rather than just what you are personally choosing. Keep up the great videos. I'll be there for each one.

I have those fender skirts from your first Bug in my garage right now. Nice bug!

Excellent news, love the beetle content. One thing I’d really like to understand in detail is how to set the rear torsion tubes e.g. inner / outer spline relationship if starting with everything out (or more likely if you pull it all out when trying to remove the spring plate)

Absolutely Beautiful.

That’s super dope 😊

Looking forward to seeing it on the road!
