[@SladesVWBeetle]

[@stephensapp7233]

Great Tutorial as always!!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thank you very much I truly appreciate that.

[@TheWhitetailrancher]

Another wonderful ly produced video! Just love watching you two together! Good information and you did great work once again! Thank you again buddy!

[@HeathersHaven]

Thank you!

[@francodesapri9174]

I do agree with you, very didactic and informative.

[@earlt_vw]

Nice work team Slade! The heat makes it tough!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thank you very much! As I get older the heat is much tougher to deal with.

[@francodesapri9174]

We miss such places here in Germany , I mean places where oldtimer junkyard.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

We really don’t have many here, especially in the part of the country I live. I sure miss when we had a lot of them many years ago.

[@randall1959]

You've got her right where she wants you

[@SladesVWBeetle]

😂😂😂

[@jimstewart6145]

nice job.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thank you Jim!

[@HeathersHaven]

Thanks for having me help out! I so enjoy the salvage yard!

[@robertlambert5299]

The last line I’ve never heard my wife say. Hahahaha

[@HeathersHaven]

@@robertlambert5299 Awww, some of us just love this old stuff! 😊

[@eduardorodriguez3262]

Get the sawzall and get that dash👍

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I have to put the video up, we went back and got it.

[@williamtanner1372]

Knee deep in poison ivy and snakes on the edge of a cliff. That's some dedicated parts grabbing! And the salvage yard is the second happiest place, the garden/pond is first. Excellent camera work Heather and Slade made good use of the BFH. I'd like to watch how you get the dash out.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thank you Williams, and thank you so much my friend for always being here. I didn’t noticed the poison ivy until I was watching the film 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@JamesDavis-jo9tk]

I’m in need of a windshield washer reservoir and I like the one in that red car.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I may have one for a 67 if you would like me to look.

[@JamesDavis-jo9tk]

@@SladesVWBeetle yes please do. As long as it’s the same as on a 72 standard beetle.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@JamesDavis-jo9tk I’ll check and see what I have, I know I have two or three different ones at the garage.

[@JamesDavis-jo9tk]

@@SladesVWBeetle thank you very much. I’ve been looking for one for awhile. I need the entire assembly to include the pressure hose and cap along with mounting hardware.

[@JamesDavis-jo9tk]

@@SladesVWBeetle thank you for trying to help me out I really appreciate it.

[@DWaugh]

You should grab the chrome and maybe that rear bumper off that 67 too

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I have to talk to him and see what else I can takeoff of the vehicle.

[@jeffhunter2553]

I was in an air-cooled VW Club in the '80s and we would take the parts off of that solid tube pre 68 type one steering column and put them on a late model collapsible one.

[@dubworldvwadventures]

Good work on removing that column. I've had some that would absolutely not budge due to rust.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thanks very much!

[@frederickrueckert850]

She's the best

[@unclepunch761]

Rilton isn't boring. We'll watch the drive

[@francodesapridesapri6299]

Dear Saldes I will not be able today to catch the LIVE broadcast unfortunately due to huge time difference between USA and Germany , it would be 3.00 am in the morning , so, if you dont mind i will put some questions to you on your LIVE video and i will be very thankful if you reply me. warm regards from Germany to you and your blessed family.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

God bless you my friend, and thank you for leaving a comment. I wish you could make it to one of the chats.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

I would modify the 67 column with the 68 collapse part. Just my opinion. The 68 is a safer column.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Oddly enough I was thinking that. For safety reasons of course. Since I already have it.

[@robertlambert5299]

Well there ya go. Channel got better already beginning with Heather! Lol

[@HeathersHaven]

lol Thanks!

[@internetkilledthevideostar]

I talk to ghosts like Heather talks to snakes. “Are you in here? If so, we need you to leave.” ;)

[@HeathersHaven]

😂 Right!

[@jeffbannon1345]

Slade, why not grab those two 67s as parts cars for the one you are building? Seems like there are lots of parts that might come in handy. At least this way you save chunks of those cars given they are going to the crusher anyway.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I really wish I could Jeff, unfortunately I don’t have much space at my house. I’m going to keep saying what I can grab off of them.

[@Kikinahm]

10:35 So, Slades does it impromptu repairs, too!

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

The dashboard in blue bug, looks good for the 67. I would cut the front clip off the parts car. The easiest way is to cut in 4 spots. Heater channels and posts by the windshield.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

We went back and got the dash from the blue bug, I still have to edit the video. I probably should’ve talk more of the dash. But I just got a little over what I really need. I would like to have both of them parts cars but I don’t have the space unfortunately.

[@gordondonahue4810]

I hope that wasn’t poison ivy growing up through that car.

[@gregb91401]

I thought the same thing.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I didn’t catch anything, thankfully. And I’m highly allergic to poison ivy. 🥺

[@scoth5135]

Can you remove the column sleeve without pulling the whole steering column? I just want to remove sleeve to repaint

[@ricksterinep]

ookaayy!! lol ookaayy

[@davesgarage3099]

hey there folks, how far south are you//? to find a beetle in one piece haha almost impossible to find any up here on the east coast of canadian rust belt, any good ones they want tens of thousands dollars for them

[@losebjughashvili8465]

Your so lucky to have not only one….but two…parts cars. Incidentally my 67 wasn’t much better than the one your taking parts from. Ha ha ha. Here, things don’t rust…..so there are zero parts cars. Especially for a 67. They have all been restored, or crushed.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Yes I do feel very lucky those cars are there right now. I’m trying to grab everything that I can. Thank you so much for being here I truly appreciate it.
