Man... by the time you make it back around to Rusty, youre not gonna feel ANY of the apprehension that used to feel when it comes to bodywork. Rusty's gonna look phenomenal ❤❤❤

I believe that hole you welded closed in the firewall is for the engine compartment wiring harness

Man, your skills have improved dramatically since you started. This is going to be a really solid car.

I doubt anyone would notice that body work with the patina look. I think it’s ok to have dents and dings. Great work CT. It will be good practice for those other projects where you end with a finished look and paint job but for the patina part of the beauty is that it’s okay to have scratches and dents. It gives the car character.

That weld seam Is going to be an evident ridge... Your straight edge showed you that when it rocked a 1/2 inch....

You’re killing it, my man! Love your thoroughness and attention to detail. In time eventually when you tackle the Ghia it will be concours material. WE ARE GETTING THERE! 💪👏👍😉

I highly recommend a numatic straight block sander. Get them at harbor freight for $100. Turns a 3 hour job into 10 mins.

You making that thing where it will last for many more decades. Don't beat yourself up over the little things. Most people would have had that thing crushed.

I think you're doing a fantastic job rebuilding the Bug! Even though you're still learning as you go along, everything seems to fall into place correctly as you go. I'm in the middle of rebuilding a Bus also with little experience, and every little tip helps from you're videos. Keep up the great work CT!

Just a tip for spreading bond; think of the metal as the ocean floor. When u see it start to show u have reached the highest spot, you can either knock it down lower or bring the rest up to it. Also spread your Bondo from the high spot to the low. So on this piece from bottom up and then go with the seam to get even plane.
