1966 Hood, Fenders, & Headlights Install - VW Beetle

[@vwhallucination2647]

Wow dude that’s awesome I didn’t know the early fenders fit on the later standards beetle

[@darylredmond9312]

Looks so much better, great video,,,, hi from Australia 👍

[@cyprianskiba8768]

Love the hub caps on the wheels, wish they would work on a 5x205

[@edwardmcmillenjr8443]

A set of older rear fenders with small snowflake tail lights would look cool too..great video...a convertible bug with those old school fenders front and rear would look good too...

[@HiRevzMedia]

Yea, we’ve got one rear fender already and both taillights, just got to find another rear fender.

Hello I live in MASS, right now I'm in Brasil on vocation and this weekI did exactly the same thing. my VW beetle is 1970 but with the same head light like you have before I just change too and look much better awesome, I did change the back window for fiber split window, come out very nice too.

ola, nao foi necessário fazer nenhuma alteração? os guarda-lamas couberam , foi so substituir? obrigado!

[@blakeerdmann]

Can you do a video showing the front beam. I love the stance!

Thanks, here is the full build! kzbin.info/aero/PLBYMVKy1lCTd2mRHx9D_GVXYG7T-MPXhV

I'm doing this on my 71 currently. I found a set of fenders but they are just the fenders at the moment. What's the best way to complete them with lights and blinkers? I'm not sure what all I'll need. Also did you have any issues leaving the late front apron when you put that early hood on?

[@josecncpcn]

Beautiful

[@ekimp252]

Wow that looks great!

[@HiRevzMedia]

Thank you

[@garytate8284]

Nice stance. I would do the same.

[@DubsNStangs]

I was also curious on where you ran that blue wire from, the late style just has the headlight wires right?

[@NeldaTolina]

Beside the small "grill mesh" under the headlights and the opening for the front bumper is located at the fenders and not the front apron. Are the fenders from 67 and 68-70 the same? Cheers!

[@bigdogsgarage]

What do you plan on doing with the back lights

[@tolinanelda2448]

Hi. You didn't have to change the front apron? If that's the case you can install a front fender and front hood from a 67 right? Cheers

[@HiRevzMedia]

You can install pretty much and year fenders and/or hood on any standard Beetle with minimal issues. Without changing the front apron, the hood will not latch. If you want it to latch, then the appropriate front apron would need to be installed. However, in a later video, I just made custom leather straps for it.

[@tolinanelda2448]

@@HiRevzMedia Thanks for the reply. New subscriber ✅. Since you beetle has the later rear light. If I would change the rear fenders and add snowflake rear lights would there be any issue with wiring the rear lights? Cheers!

[@HiRevzMedia]

@@tolinanelda2448 I was originally planning on changing the rear fenders and lights also. The wiring would probably be a little different, but shouldn’t be too hard to figure out with a test light.

[@mariocasanova5856]

escucho que es año 1966 son esas salpicaderas... 😉👌🏻

[@robertdavis2013]

Do the big headlight supposed to have glass cover

[@tolinanelda2448]

Hi, Can add the 67 Front Fender on a 66 or earlier year without mods? About your project does the hood close well since it's longer? Cheers

[@bubot17]

nice going

[@HiRevzMedia]

Thanks

Does he have a website or a page part person

[@BoWhiteRacing]

Looks good.

[@HiRevzMedia]

Thanks bud

[@VWRICH23]

Looks perfect.. Does the hood latch properly?

[@HiRevzMedia]

No, the latch is not in the same position. I’ve got an idea though. That video will be coming out soon.

[@julioyon4849]

Can i do this in a super beetle 1971?

[@vdubluv222]

I just picked up a 68 vert and was thinking about doing the early fenders... I didn't think the hood would latch to the late style front apron. are you just setting it down or does it actually latch? i guess the latch really doesn't work on my other bugs anyway. LOL

[@HiRevzMedia]

The apron style is the same, but the latch will definitely not work. I had it bungeed down in this video. In the next couple videos, you will see I did custom leather straps, like an old Porsche.

[@nosajselrauq9438]

There was no installation of the hood fenders and headlights I saw the after 🤔

[@HiRevzMedia]

Yea, not a “how to” video, more if a car progress vlog.

[@SealRay42186]

You did have to change the front apron to change to the 66 fenders correct? If not how did you fit the longer style hood?

[@SealRay42186]

Sorry I meant you had to change the front apron to accept the 66 hood correct? I know the fenders will directly bolt up but didn’t think the 66 and earlier hood could be added without changing the front apron.

[@HiRevzMedia]

No I did not. The style of the front Apron didn’t change for many years, but the hood latch did. So the hood will still close and look correct, but will not latch.

[@SealRay42186]

@@HiRevzMedia just ran across your other video for it. Thanks for the info brother🤙🏼

[@aeciodassis9616]

the hood is different size by the step tire is narrow
