Where can I get another lock key thing for the steering column lock? I have one but the hole is empty no lock or key. Thanks in advance!

If the belly pan in rusted through, where do i find new ones? Or at least decent looking ones? Is it possible to remanufacture it with sheet metal?

Hi Chris. This is a very informative Video on the Engine Seal. I didn't realize how Crucial it is to have that Seal in place. when i had my engine installed on my 66 Bug, the Shop here in Florida didn't install the Seal. Bummer. But the engine tin on the rear is close to the body.

What timing light do you recommend for a 6 volt system?

Don’t forget the hanger bushing

i want to clean inside the chassis.. do you have any idea how can i do it? where the water goes after?

Had a question do I gotta use the voltage drop if I am not using the wipers for mine are not working and feeling the voltage drop reg getting hot

I just did one. A 73 Super Beetle convertible. It's really fun when you can't take the pan out. the engine, or suspension.😂😂😂

No! Leave it alone.

The only difference in the back of the 1967 beetle and 1968 beetle is the 67 had reverse lights mounted on the rear bumber and the 68 did not .

Handle and latch half w

And for engine starter? Ori 6v starter can rotate high speed with 12v??

Your work is incredible! Continued success. If you ever run across a 1962 bug gulf blue please reach out. Thank you

Restoring a 1303s 1973 . . Flat spot of course. Timing perfect, plugs good color near new EMPI distributor . . Resolved by changing main jet from 130 to 137,5. Thanks for your channel. Much appreciated.

Thank you. This was extremely helpful!

Excellent informative and extremely helpful. Thanks. 👍🏻😉🏎️🛞⛽️📸🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸

"if you're anal about that" hahaha

Go Rams!

The biggest problem for Europe is. Factories are getting limited by environmental regulations. Which is not the case in China. And thus the production of parts is going to be made somewhere not Europe. And I get it. It’s a money game. You can look up the TaTa steel debacle here in the Netherlands. It’s a mess. So I think the cores are made in China and machined in Europe and then sold to the world. Or maybe directly from China.

There needs to be more companies committed to making original parts like Wolfsburg West. I work primarily on 60’s and 80’s Hondas and on the 1980 Honda Civic owners manual the first damned page says “parts these days are not what they used to be” to the CONSUMER directly in 1980. I can only imagine now. Man don’t check AutoZone stock prices, makes me think they’re a front 😂 but to answer your question the only real feedback parts manufacturers get are returns or warranty or defect claims. Since doing that affects their wallet, if they see the same part with a goofy amount of warranties or returns they either discontinue and revise that part or switch suppliers.

I am 35 years old, I had plenty of VW beetle's from 16 to about 22-23 years old, a couple of years ago I bought another one and the "Primitiveness" of it hit me immediately, it had been at least 10-12 years since I had one and I got used to the creature comforts of modern cars, I had to sell it due to a back injury that made it really hard to drive stick. I defenitely want to get back in one but as a 2nd or weekend car.

1964 last smaller widows. Perfect body fit

Very insightful very dedicated great video

Very helpful. What size staples did you use? I got the arrow T50 like you suggested, but it comes with quarter inch, 3/8 inch, and half inch. Also, you gave the measurement from the back body bow to the window bow, and then the measurement from the main to the rear tubular bow, but you did not give the measurement from the rear window bow to the main. That would be very helpful. Otherwise great job so far I’m only on the headliner!

Find video on the 1967 what was so great about this year vw bug

What did you use to clean around the pushrod tube before applying Hondabond silicone?

Is there a trick to getting the old intake manifold copper gaskets out of the head i am afraid to gouge the head if i use something like a dental tool to pry them out or is that the only way? thanks

What color is that bug

Awesome vlog! My fav was Orange with Lime Green second.

Do you think the old style seal is better? And, can you use it on a later model instead? I just purchased a new one for my super. I haven't installed it yet but it's always in the way of removing and installing the engine. This 57 you're restoring looks awesome. Just beautiful. Thank you for your videos and sharing.

Was thinking for a minute You was back up north. Thermostats should be checked also, many people don’t even know they have them.

I agree 100 % with the info. Thanks for sharing this important info. I drive 50,000 miles a year in my beetle....I drive stock, and I never have problems. Even through death valley and Vegas with it 118 degrees never have trouble. The design of the engine is built to handle extremes. The main thing that caused trouble with people are not driving stock, shifting to early and lugging the engine, and not keeping an eye on there timing being correct. Also with ethanol gas now it's important to open carb jet up to around 1.30 instead of 1.25 that way the engine doesn't run to lean. Thanks for all your do Chris. Great videos!!!!

Hey Chris, have you ever heard of the Type 147 Kleinieferwagen or “Fridolin” made for the German postal service? I just seen an article on Tork US about them.

Thanks for the reality check to keep it simple and the challenge of driving without current comforts.

Nice German bug I have one 1960 and one VW karmanghia

Can you use the double flap seal on late models (like 72)?

Hey Chris, I think you have a great idea on selling cars on your site! I would be interested on cars that you fixed up because I know you do fantastic work! Your fellow Sicilian from north florida! Lol Vince
