First Drive in Crusty - Oval VW Beetle Rescue

[@highwheelingdragon7136]

A paste made from Bar Keepers Friend and water, wiped on to surface rust will bring out the color without scrubbing off any of the paint. It takes several applications, keeping it moist, so the oxalic acid can dissolve the rust with as little scrubbing as possible since it is also abrasive. It really brings out chrome without the fine scratches from abrasives. Your video inspires me to fire up my abominable 1956 Entomology Beetle that has been Pasture-izing since 1997.

[@franklinbrown8417]

My family had 2 Beetles when I was a kid. I took my drivers test in a 68. When I went away to college in 72 a guy in my dorm overhauled his VW motor in his dorm room. Did a good job: put the motor back in the car and it ran like a sewing machine.

Dude, you are blessed! Having a son who loves you so much, and having friends like Mustie1 and Larry!

[@kristianstrong3683]

Love how everyone is looking at crusty as you drive it in. What a great looking bus.

[@5150mxVW]

that was so cool getting to drive Crusty in ....

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Very nice to see Josh again. I loved seeing you two smiling because driving famous Crusty from famous Mustie.

[@5150mxVW]

hi CC, wow, that was awesome driving Crusty in and extra awesome getting to take Josh for a ride :)))

[@mikescudder4621]

Yeah, Crusty was a great project and Mustie nailed it. After he figured out what it was... he had the vision!! Great father and son moment.

That right there, is a thing of beauty, a treasure to behold! Nice work sir.

[@losebjughashvili8465]

I just bought a 70 beetle. Absolute POS. Big fire, supplied by a whole tank of gas and an up front electric fuel pump. Melted the carb into the intake. Fire was put out with gallons of water. Then It sat for 9 years with a gallon of water under the 3 quarts of oil. I pulled the engine, emptied it out, pulled the valve train, and spark plugs and submerged it in my blue tote full of vinegar, and rocks to displace the liquid. A month later it came loose. It’s in the car running now.

[@5150mxVW]

Nice job getting the engine unstuck....this oval has been sitting many decades :)

[@losebjughashvili8465]

@@5150mxVW Yeah, you don’t know till you try it. Remember your engine didn’t have a gallon of water in it either. I think the saving grace of mine was the oil that was in it, was floating on the water bathing the innards. I saw Musti one time bump the starter on the flywheel (more leverage) and break an engine loose also. Wonderful car, wonderful attitude. Thank you sir for all you do.

[@martyworley5427]

I love to see when they start to come together and maybe soon we’ll be back on the road. Love the video and all the updates. Have a great weekend.

[@5150mxVW]

thank you Marty, you as well

[@volktales7005]

Nice to see some of your VWs getting some loving. Hope Larry is going to get back onto his sweet '59 soon. Fun day at a Father's day VW show too. In our area we had a huge all makes car show on the same day and I finally made it in my '66 Corvair while my buddy took his '64 two-stroke SAAB! Good times!

My late father was Volkswagen mechanic and service manager at Volkswagen dealership in western Pennsylvania.

[@henrikstenlund5385]

You two are my favorite VW builder guys. I had a VW 1200 in 1971 for a little while so all this brings memories back to mind.

[@ss-qw8vm]

I love your show. I love the frosted edge of the windows. it looks cool on the windsheld.

[@5150mxVW]

thank you SS, much appreciated

[@andyrisner8731]

Great work man my buddy and I just pulled a complete 58 bug off of a farm yesterday parked in the same spot since 1975.

Gotta keep the vision keep the dream alive it’s easy to get discouraged with these older cars that are rotten but it’s worth it

[@sf98]

Thanks for the car show footage.

[@5150mxVW]

sorry I didn't film the show , it was my day off :)

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Use a forklift to remove the oval 56 engine, if its stuck. It's what CT would do.😆 You got the drive the world famous single cab.👍

[@stevefarms7494]

That is a great idea to use a VW engine to power a little tractor...

[@bluescelt5317]

Jason, Great meeting you and Darren last week at the Park and Ride. Very cool to get a quick look at Crusty too!

[@5150mxVW]

Hi, you as well, can't wait to see M1 resurrect what you gave him

[@jimtomassetti8928]

Hey Jason....Crusty got a little more crusty as kept walking on the floor😳 Josh got so big. It's great how he loves his dad so much and look's up to Jason. Ps... Nice seeing you guy's all way's!

[@vwcoco]

Yeah engine well and truly stuck. Good luck in removing but what a nice bug with awesome patina I think it’s definitely restorable 😂 happy Father’s Day Jason

[@ameichholz]

Fun video! ALL THE BEETLES!!! So envious!

Those doors shut nice. You’re right, hard parts done!! Wooooo cruisin in crusty!! Very cool!! Wow, Josh is growing so fast. Josh: I like this thing you should buy it 😁

Don't forget fuel cable ,electric and use safety glasses for those Jeeper's Peeper's!!😂😅

I know Musty1 is sitting by the phone waiting for your call. For boots you want White Boots 610 Chore boot or the Owyhee. another good show.

It's crazy that you said it's 9 o'clock and I decided to check what time it was and it's 9 pm on the dot! 😆

[@Wiltshire-observer]

Happy Father’s Day Jason, great video with a drive of “crusty” too. Good luck pulling that engine from the ‘56. Maybe the clutch is also a bit seized on the gearbox input shaft ?.

That was... well, yeah. That was. Say no more. The Crusty highlight! XLNT vid with a great mix. Kudo's to the top fastidious craftsman Larry. He will keep you honest. You guys are lucky over there. VW's just seem to fall into your lap. Never forget my 25,000 miles behind the wheel of my 64 here in NZ. Towbar replaced the rear bumper. Always check the distributor wire isn't worn thru where it crosses over the points spring. Saves on crash starts!

[@bluejack644]

Nice patina. It goes so well with the interior. Pretty cool bug.

[@5150mxVW]

thank you 644

Nice, have not seen a 58 in years. I had a 7/57 3 different vin numbers attached. Finally took to wrecking yard. Even title numbers wrong

[@coinslotsandjoysticks2572]

In the late eighties I cut my dads 69 squarback station wagon into a truck and made it really nice. He won first place at almost every show he took it to, i smoothed all the edges and lines and painted it fire engine red and put all now black interior in it with two 15 inch speakers behind the front seats, i have been trying to find it for years. If you ever see it mag me please. I have pictures of it but can't post here

[@dalewyatt1321]

The patented outdoor workshop deserved a tour. Special lighting, cardboard flooring, rain proof. How would it be in high winds? Excellent varied video young man.

well, i just welded up the 12x20 carport that blew away a second time :). thank you Dale

[@randall1959]

You don't have enough Beetles

[@carl5536]

It's kinda unusual for a Bug engine to not turn just a little bit cause most were so reliable. Maybe it's got a spun baring overlap and that's why it's not wanting to turn. It could still be fixed and used again cause I use to know a guy that would never throw anything away for a Volkswagen Bug cause in his world wasn't anything on the road quite like em. I don't know what pistons he used but I remember him building a few of em that was pretty quick to ride around in and it didn't take much horsepower. 200hp was like 600hp in a bigger car like a Chevelle or Impala from the 60s...I always liked Chevy's and Volkswagens in the 70s lol...

[@Mikefngarage]

the glove box door shocked me. Now Im RIVETED......

[@5150mxVW]

riveting content Mike, nothing new round hearaH🤣

[@base7022]

Nice video! When I saw the tractor with the Beetle engine in your video, it struck me again that the German fire brigade here had an incredible number of Beetle engines in a carrying frame as a power generator or as a fire-fighting water pump. I think until the 70's. They were all like new and had only run a few hours. Thanks! Greetings Klaus from Düsseldorf

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear base7022 👍👌👏 Yeah, it was that way all around in Germany. I also remember the sound of the old Rundhauber Magirus Deutz very well. It was in use for sooo many years. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

I am surprised Crusty doesn*t have the front windows that open, I believe they are called safari windows.
