[@marcijunebug]

Love the drill press set up as a wire wheel! 👍

[@vwnut1967]

It is handy and quiet. Thanks for everything Marci

[@vdub9943]

Excellent job with the tin work, some of the screws were a real pain! Nice to see Patina relaxin!

[@vwnut1967]

Thank you very much for watching David

[@brcron007]

Great job brother !!! Keep it up, your Senior DI would be proud ;).

[@vwnut1967]

He sure would. I hope he is watching. Thanks for everything Brother

[@raymondsprengelmeyer1278]

The flat black really looks good on the tin, nice job Brian!

[@vwnut1967]

I am really happy with the finish and color choice. Thank you very much for watching Raymond

[@gregstillman5197]

My mom had a '67 fastback, European delivery, that had carbs on it; was always a problem to tune and sync them. I would opt to keep fuel injection if it was my project; will be looking forward to what you and Patina decide on it.

[@vwnut1967]

Stay tuned. Thank you very much for watching Greg

[@udizzy1969]

Ya Buddy, great work so far, and Music was an ear full. lol Cheers Dizzy.

[@vwnut1967]

Thanks for everything Brother

[@mischef18]

If it is doable a new header makes more sense, no worries for a few years. Enjoying your wrench' with this fastback bro. My days of messing around with cars is long gone so now I enjoy watching others. All the best

[@vwnut1967]

I was told that there may be a NOS header in stock here so I will have to go looking. Thank you very much for watching Ken

[@johndalton3821]

Another cool video..!! The fuel injection will be nice to keep if it proves to be reliable. If not, carb(s) it is..!! Thanks for taking us along Brian.

[@vwnut1967]

Thank you very much for watching John

[@richardwarnock2789]

Brian that header looked good but the We Rust Mites took her down very sad but you'll come thru!!!, Patina definitely waiting till the temp is in the 70's that's OK!!, Thanks Brian!!!; )

[@TedBishop1]

To bad the header was sketchy other than that things seem to be going along well. Thanks for sharing your videos have become " automatic Likes " for me thanks for posting !

[@vwnut1967]

Automatic huh I will try to live up to the pressure Ted. Thank you very much for always being here and watching

[@elfenmagix8173]

Looks great! I was thinking of a propane torch and high temperature aluminum solder to fix the header. That is if you can find the stuff.

[@vwnut1967]

Thank you very much for always being here and watching Elfen Magix

[@bmh67wa]

Patina has the right idea. I hibernate in the Winter too.

[@vwnut1967]

She sure does. Thank you very much for watching Brian

[@wanderfeliz6430]

Looking good. Thanks for the videos.

[@vwnut1967]

Thank you very much for watching Wander Feliz

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I remember cutting a carb flange on the fuel injection intake... a progressive 2 bbl worked well

[@vwnut1967]

Great possibility. Thank you very much for watching Geoffrey

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

It's like a giant jigsaw puzzle- compared to all the plastic and composites that surround the engine in modern cars.

[@vwnut1967]

Much better than plastic for sure. Thank you very much for watching HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP

[@kentuckyhotwheels]

Looking good Brian...!

[@vwnut1967]

Thank you very much for watching John

[@vwcol..7719]

Great video Brian looking good👍😊

[@vwnut1967]

Thank you very much for watching VW COL..

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Header- As long as there's clean metal- scrub in acetone, then spread on 2-part JB Weld, pushing it into the holes, slathering it onto the "thin" areas. Let cure 24 hours. Sand smotth with 240-400 grit Wipe with acetone. High heat primer and paint. Cure with propane torch before hadling and installing.

[@aarongrabowski5620]

HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP all that does is leave too many parts protruding into the pipe disturbing the air flow.

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

@@aarongrabowski5620 Please don't exaggerate. Did I say gob it on, push it into the holes until it forms an obstruction? No. Heck- he could shove a rag, tied to a piece of wire- up the pipe, under the holes- then apply the JB. "Muffler Tape" can work well, if the products' directions are followed. Prep is key. Mechanically AND chemically clean the surfaces first. Muffler tape could easily crack with heat cycling- whereas JB weld should hold for years. Buy new, bolt it on. That's too easy. Fix what you've got if you can. $10 worth of epoxy & acetone- or $125 for some cheap knockoff.

[@vwnut1967]

Thanks again HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP

[@butler386]

Please get Patina's DNA tested as I 'am pretty sure we must be related. If headers are a bit difficult to replace then I would opt for the new ones. Get those done and you have no worries. Looking good. I have always liked VW's but never had one. Great video. Keep them coming.

[@vwnut1967]

Thank you very much for always being here and watching D Butler

[@ivorwm2291]

I always wondered how those engines looked without the tins. It got down to 30 degrees in Deep East Texas. Her Royal Highness Bambi Consuela. The Queen of Everything at Casa Bambi (the chihuahua ) refused to go outside and survey her realm...She gave me the same sleepy blinky look Patina gave you. Later, I put her pink sweater on her. She kept it on all day

[@vwnut1967]

I tell people all the time that the only difference between pitbulls and chihuahuas is size. Thank you very much for always being here and watching Ivor

[@airheadvw4479]

Fuel injection is the way to go there is alot of Info on the samba about it in the type 3 forum they work well

Nothing is better than a VW "Bug" infested Garage/workshop..

[@vwnut1967]

Best bugs to have I think. Thank you very much for watching Liberty Patriot

[@josemaldonadovilla9684]

I wanna be a mad scientist and put a pancake in a mx5 and make it front wheel drive so I can hall azz :)

[@aarongrabowski5620]

Hopefully u can use the fuel injection because they run so happy when they are dialed in properly

[@vwnut1967]

Thank you very much for watching Aaron

[@frankfullone5283]

Looking good keep it up brother

[@vwnut1967]

We will. Thank you very much for watching Frank

[@ladeseddy5994]

Great video Brian. Too bad Evapo Rust is so dang expensive. Could have just dropped that header pipe in a big tub.

[@vwnut1967]

It worked out ok. Thank you very much for watching Mark

[@aarongrabowski5620]

There would have been no header left if he put it in that stuff!!!

[@4thGloryMonday]

yep this was just what the dr ordered

[@vwnut1967]

I agree😀. Thank you very much for watching 4thGloryMonday

[@ebutuoyebutouy]

Thank you very much for watching Ernest

[@uwusmolbean]

There used to be a specialty screwdriver, with a clip that holds a strait blade screw on, until it gets threaded in.

[@vwnut1967]

Yep I have one and love to use it when working on carburetors sure would have came in handy with engine tin. Thank you very much for watching Brer Rabbit

[@Man-in-da-shed]

A feast for both the eyes & the ears

[@vwnut1967]

Most certainly. Thank you very much for watching Ian

[@davemcguigan218]

[@davidthehillbilly7995]

You can get parts for carbs if you need them. The VW injection system? Happy hunting....

[@vwnut1967]

True. Thank you very much for watching Ohio Hillbilly

[@aarongrabowski5620]

Parts still availiable if you know who to look through. Still think fuel injection is the way to go

[@Phatty057]

Just wrap the exhaust and call it good. :)

[@2trkpony471]

Along those lines some JB weld with a fish patch?

[@vwnut1967]

Thank you very much for watching Phatty057

[@kpdvw]

The original VW Fuel injected nightmare engine;.. get 2 high quality Carburetors and never look back!
