Thanks for the rescue again J! Love the look of the '64, just needs a bit of help LOL '67 will be at Terryville!

Good story telling man! A very enjoyable 20 minutes. Josh is straight out of central casting as “the kid”.

[@firecatfly]

Happy Father's Day to one of the best Dad's in the world! Our best to Jen and Josh and thanks for the adventure. Man I miss New England.

[@kriswright1022]

You can tell the character of a man by how he treats his kids, you're doing a great job with your apprentice! Enjoying watch what yer doing, and the guys you hang with are pretty good guys as well! Greetings from the west coast and happy fathers day tomorrow!

[@DarkElfDiva]

Will your children be sad when you die, or relieved? You decide. I was relieved when my father died.

Just Great all they VW, but the Star is definitely Josh, what a great Kid, just full of excitement being with his Dad. And VWs 😄

[@bunzeebear2973]

As it is a 6 volt car & headlights. The eye brows were probably meant to reflect the light downward onto the road. I know on a 12 v, VW stock headlamps are nearly no light. I never had an old bug so am just guessing. . Am figuring either 3 1/2 quarts(or 4) to the full line most likely.

[@RustyRogers]

Kid gets greasy? No problem. Have a great Father's Day everyone!

[@robinredman5192]

So, what's the total Dad? Yeah, Josh has got your back. John here, from the back-roads of Tennessee.

Everything else aside in this video, the best take away is Josh rockin' out to Rock Candy! Better than his love of VW's IMHO...

[@joshuapoche5137]

Man this video just made my fathers day. Just remember everything is fixable. Lesson learned always inspect every inch. Still a great bug with a few areas that need attention

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you , yeah I saw a few solid points and was super lazy on this one ...those damn BRM's got me ! I dig it , I'm happy with it , have a great Father's day weekend Joshua.

I would wear ear plugs during the catsup / foil clean ! I LOVE it that your son is an enthusiastic mechanic !!! ( Whispering, "This is fun !" ) He's hooked. I also love that you and the local WKRP kid have history. Nice. My band was supposed to open up for Ronnie Montrose at the Last Day Saloon but he passed TWO weeks prior.

[@ianrutherford878]

Here in Sweden they have trucks that drive stop start stop along the roadsides with a big magazine of 6 foot (2 m)stripey red and white plastic poles (used to be bamboo) the truck has an impact drill that makes a small hole and a robotic arm sticks a pole in.Every year before the snow and a taker-out truck in the spring. Exciting driving through snow drift country with only the tops of the poles to tell you where the road is.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

Well, I've spent less for a worse car - but she'll be a $6000 car when you're done. If the previous owner had to replace a qtr. of the floor, he should've just replaced the whole thing - but that horse has left the stable, hasn't it? Positives: It got home. And for Mr. DubWerks - he dodged a bullet on that unexpected oil change...but we learn something new everyday. Nice choice in oil: $1 Quaker State Peak Performance :) Thanks for havin' us over!

[@daveayres950]

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear 5150mxVW and son. 👍👌👏 Very well done again (rescue, video and work... uhm... pushing single cab around). ;-) 2) Your newest purchase is still a good one because the car is in a really good condition. Some things simply have to be fixed. It is an over 60 years old vehicle in the end. 3) I really hope that Dubs bug engine can be saved. Good luck to him. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you. Post Scriptum: I simply love how your great little petrolhead son is acting. Well raised, maaan, well raised indeed. Congrats!

[@5150mxVW]

thanks man

[@gazzafloss]

Well Jason, the '64 has its issues but nothing that can't be overcome, it still looks "the goods", and over here in Australia it would be worth at least $15,000 as it is everyday, who knows what when fixed up. You'd surely have a good rust free platform, a bit of "artfull" work to give it the original chassis tag number, you'll have a neat, valuable '64 40hp 1200. I'd love it with board racks, just like the one my cuz and I traveled and surfed the east coast of Australia in in 1967...

[@todbnla]

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO YOU TOO! ;-)

[@BadBrad23]

Damn, How long did he drive it with no oil? by the time the oil light came on the engine is toast. You could see when he took off the old oil plate huge chunks of metal. @13:00. Who doesn't remember to tighten the oil drain plug. Engine probably has 100 miles left before grenades.....

[@KjellEson]

6:46 Sign D is very difficult to get hold of. It looks old. Existed before stickers were invented. For anyone who does not know what it is, it is the sign used on German cars fifty sixty years ago. D = Deutschland (Germany)

[@iian0]

Love the content thanks 💘

[@5150mxVW]

thank you Ian

[@Trains-With-Shane]

Man I hope Dub didn't hash that engine. Wonder if he saw the oil pressure light and was able to pull off or if there was another more serious symptom. The grit on that plate doesn't bode well for his chances that it's not hurt. He may have to pull it apart and put bearings in it. Definitely some Amateur Hour work on that 64 but nothing that you can't clean up. Still a solid car. That wiring, though. Yeikes. -Shane

[@billmaxfield7831]

[@shitloveaduck]

Greaaaaatttt Videoooooo!!!! Thanks! Hey, you have bought cars I would never have even touched. At least with the 64 you have something that looks pretty nice! Wiring on them isn’t too bad compared to others. Your Charger would be way harder if it needed as much work with the wiring. (Gorgeous car by the way.) the welding kinda sucks, but at least you have the metal you need other than possibly 1 or 2 filler pieces. It runs pretty nice, the brakes,,,,, well I am a fan of disc brake conversions on my builds, but the option is there, even just the fronts. A new adventure there!! They gotta be fixed anyway,,,,,,,,,. The interior is not too bad,the dash is great. There’s lots of good things and light at the end of the tunnel. Some of your projects, (respectfully, coming from my point of view, you are a better person than I am,,,,,) wellllll, I can’t even see the faintest spark!!! Hahaha. I love the banter and friendship you and Josh have and it’s like he is just as much a friend to Dubwerks as you are. Speaking of banter!! Now poor Dubwerks is getting double teamed!!! Hahaha. Ohhh mannnnn,,,,,,,,,. I hope he didn’t damage the engine,,,,,,, if he was running synthetic oil he has a good chance, but otherwise, there’s still some protection with conventional oil, but not much,,,,, fingers crossed. It looked and ran pretty good,,,,. I add the commas etc for an attempt to add expression to the comments, but yesterday I had a Grammar Cop tackle me on that one. If it were up to him I should be locked for good!! Haha. Oh well. To each their own,,,,,,,. Like I said, great video. Thanks!

[@5150mxVW]

thank you , yes I dig the 64 , the car is solid in a lot of common rust areas ....I have a 2" narrowed beam which might help with the disc brake conversion ( disc increases offset ) . I have to give Dubwerks a hard time for sending me 45 minutes away from home on a beautiful 66 degree cruise night :). I think he lucked out , his oil light came on and he shut it down as quickly as possible ....so far so good . Grammar cops , nope ......I love my run ons ....thank you , have a great weekend .

[@volktales7005]

Some new floor pans in your future, and some package tray issues. But damn those body mounts ARE nice! Those "eyelids" work great to protect CV joint boots on front drive cars when you are cutting off the sway bar bushings nearby... Both you and your buddy need to get rid of those crappy 009s and get the proper vacuum distributors back on. The drivability will be much better. And hope Dub's engine is not hurt too bad, and I always was a Jonny Fever fan!

[@5150mxVW]

aren't those body mounts fantastic :)) ...I just got my car and it came with the 009 . Dubwerks got the correct distributor for his shortly after the vid . I think his engine survived as his oil light came on and he shut it down . Have a great weekend

[@jamesdamrom751]

He said. Extra charge!!🤣🤣

Dubs probably cooked the expanding thermostat regulator. Should check the oil pressure as he may have wiped the crank bearings too.

Lovely

[@oldtanker4860]

You had it on the lift, why didn't you check out why the brakes were toast??? Go for the safety stuff first then the oil, especially if you weren't going to drive it for a bit. I can understand being worried about the engine. You might consider a compression check too. I love that you have a great little helper there who already know what the first thing to check on a stranded car. Well done teaching your son to be good with his hands as well as the noggin. You obviously are a good friend as well from the way you treated your rescue stranded driver.
