Love watching these videos, I’m ashamed to admit I’ve been watching silently from a far over in England 🇬🇧 so I thought I’d speak to! Nice to see what a good bunch of guys you are. Clearly all good friends with understanding wives!!! Always makes me envious to see the projects you guys pick up over there in the dry states. Our roads are salted every winter and it’s hard to find a project car with a flaw at all, let alone one that just needs a battery tray! Keep up the good work! Ben 👍🏻

The price is around $130 for the gun, and I'm not seeing the small oven I bought from them, but you can use any old oven. A used kitchen oven will work just as well as a special purpose powder coating oven.

Great videos! I love watching the Harvest Bug coming together. I am learning allot about mine just watching your videos! I cant wait to see it. My 66 Bug is in paint and will hopefully be done by Harvest. I put it in before my deployment overseas, and will hopefully be done so as to attend my first Harvest in it!!! Just moved to the Austin area and bought my Bug over in Harker Heights Last June. I am living the Bug life vicariously through these videos, since I cant be around mine currently. Thank you so much for the great video work, VW knowledge, and general good time you are presenting. Looking forward to seeing the Harvest Bug and everyone else in Leander in October, with or without my Bug. -KDubKev

Love the efforts you're putting on those beauties ! Been working all weekend long on a '64 that's been 'refurbished' in the 90's : body parts changes to look younger : wings, engine lid, skirts, trunk lid, lights, ... from a '74 (who the Heck does that ??). Interior is refurbished with typical 90's fabrics, very colored ans geometric shapes oriented. No more original steeringwheel or shifter, and every single button or lever is painted flat purple... Eeerk !. Exterior is bright 'barbie pink' but original color can be seen thru : blau see. Still lot of work to do but a hell of a weekend with mates and a Beetle 😁 As usual, Big up and greetings from France !

No Jerk Fab beam is sweet! Is it really 4" narrower? That seems like a lot. Does the turning radius get bigger?

I gotta question,my fan belt is pretty damn loose,and I have NO shims behind it...does that mean that my belt is stretched/ worn out? I have noticed it getting looser and looser just over a period of 2 weeks,I'm just looking for a solid straight answer,thanks guys! Ima' big fan of VW Life!

Sounds like it might be need to be replaced. Do you have the correct number of the shims?
@tommiesmith3369
@tommiesmith3369 5 жыл бұрын
Yes no shims inside the two half’s and loose belt would require a replacement. Keep 8 shims in play weather on the inside or out or combo of the two

Man you guys do good work but I would love to see some longer videos 15 minutes just don't seem long enough,, by the time I get into your video the video has ended LOL, but love your videos love your kindness glad somebody is very passionate about Volkswagens I don't think the younger crew is too much don't think some of them know what a classic car really is these are getting to be worth more and more money every couple of years

Thanks! Yes we hope the younger crowd find a passion for vw's! As for longer videos, it's a balancing act. For example this video is about 15 minutes, the average view length is 8 minutes. So we have to keep it short and sweet.

That's funny you mention that those are actually homemade. We bought the dollies at Harbor Freight and we zip tie them to milk crates and on top of the milk crates is a plank of wood with screws through it to hold it into the crate

@VWLifeVW
@VWLifeVW 5 жыл бұрын
Not stupid. We are lowering the car. The best way to do this is to narrow the beam so that the front tires tuck under the fenders. The new beam is also adjustable. So we can adjust the leaf springs to raise or lower the front end to our liking.
