Great job CT! Now that's a roller'.

[@peterandkodiak9762]

Details of this build = nothing less than fantastic!

[@CTmoog]

Thank you! =)

[@backyardkombi5466]

Incredibly satisfying to watch.

[@tuguybear930]

Always good to see Adam Savage do a resto.

[@snowdogs59]

CT you’ve got the rolling chassis rebuild down!

[@user-gv4tn9nb7f]

Beautiful transformation!

[@carla.7958]

Good for you CT getting something finished.

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Dear CT, The way you’ve sealed with the chassis of the 1955 VW Beetle looks so much more professional as with rhe chassis of the VW Karmann Ghia but we think the Karmann was more like a school for you for which you your master degree with the Beetle 😂. We think you have to go for a full restoration of the entire car because it will bring you a car with an unbelievable value. We wish you lots of success with the rest of the refit and wish you as well as Cynthia and the rest of your family all the happiness of the world plus we send you ❤️ from the Netherlands. Best regards, Willeke and Dick de Graaff

[@philipsdefreville6138]

Stock is fine Looks amazing CT!!

[@TateReggie]

Coming along nicely. Please keep the original matching patina wheels. Looking forward to your next vid.

[@johnkelly6942]

Around 1972/73 my oldest brother rolled his ‘70 beetle and smashed in the top. He drove it that way for about a year until he found another body then he and my brothers swapped out the bodies in the side yard of our parents house. I haven’t seen a bare rolling VW pan since then! This is a great project!

[@ncdave4]

I like your methodology.. lay all the parts out you'll need before installing...great vid

[@pararnedahlsten5539]

Hi there CT as you say, looking good 🙏👍🚘 so much work into that classic car . Just waiting for the next film. / P-a from Sweden

[@CJLeTeff]

Love the 5-wide wheel look! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍

[@danquinie9386]

Please don't stop doing these restorations because I cant find anyone else who shows all the details you do and I'm 17 and wanna get into this stuff.

[@CTmoog]

Thank you! =)

[@thomasschwarting5108]

I did almost the same kind rebuild when i was stationed in Germany. Lots of memories!!

[@ATOMSHAMRADIO]

Fantastic CT work to be proud of.

[@jimpurkey8544]

I’m also a VW lover , me , I would redo the whole bug like it was brand new . And drive it daily… but that’s just me . Good to see that this one is making it to life …❤

[@hermaryas7177]

GREAT JOB MY FREND.....

[@AndaluSound]

Great job!

[@adambassador7727]

I like the look of the original stock wheels and tires, personally. Beautiful work !

[@CTmoog]

Thanks Adam! They are pretty cool! =)

[@michelsavoie8262]

what I like about this guy is that he doesn't listen to himself talk, he acts.

[@norman7396]

Yes I agree with you But did he assemble the breaks before he put the weels on? Or did he forget?

[@briancollins4160]

I love these chassis vids for the wide open and well photographed view of the engineering, structure and mechanics the Beetle. It taught me a lot and instantly answered questions I was curious about. Its a great video guide. Thanks.

[@marceloparracho387]

Me and Dad like the beetle. He has a 1983 with a 1.6 liter engine in black. We are VW and FIAT enthusiasts. We live in the south of Brazil in the city of Florianópolis. Good job! Hugs!

[@jeffreydelk2361]

You really need to invest in a bead blast cabinet! Enjoyed this video, Thanks!

[@andrecriacoes.5132]

[@CTmoog]

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@CTmoog Be safe this week brother, don’t let anything happen to you guys with this storm

[@joonesvlog7281]

Satisfying to watch till the end 😁

[@joewoodchuck3824]

I love it. A '66 Beetle was bought new by me as my first car after high school graduation. As a kid I unfortunately drove it into the ground prematurely. I'd love to have another to treat much better this time.

[@renzodidonatantonio4966]

Bravo.... hai fatto un eccellente lavoro. 👍👍👍

[@nicklomas1044]

Fantastic progress keep it up

[@stephenhenion8304]

I've seen you disassemble a couple cars... But this build is the best!!! Back in 1978 I my 1st car was a 65 Beetle, Beige with a sliding metal sunroof. I loved it. But when they broke down, they were just finished...my car had a solid floor pan, after 2 motor jobs, I found a 67 beetle... best of luck!!

[@wtfjbssister746]

Nice. Like watching your videos I learn new things. A buggy of my one

[@mikelove9832]

Awesome CT ! Straight Ahead ✌😎

[@CTmoog]

Thanks Mike!

[@Subieadventures]

That feeling when it goes from a pile of parts to a roller .. awesome build . Been a fun series . Looking forward to the next upload

[@CTmoog]

Thanks man! 👍

[@KrishnaDraws]

Watching CT work on his VW Beetle while putting together my LEGO VW Beetle.

[@meetjohndoe1078]

that buggy is gonna travel STRAIGHT as an arrow down the road, well done!

Dear Reader, The Roman Senator Cato always seems to have ended his speeches in the Roman senat with the sentence: "By the way, I'm of the opinion that Carthago have to be destroyed". This is an important and possitive step in the reconstruction of the VW Beetle, very well executed by Mr. CT. Well, done, Sir. By the way, I'm of the opinion that the VW Ghia has to be restored after this project. Once, the Roman Senat decided that they indeed would destroy Carthago. So perhaps my remark will help to restore the VW Ghia in the near future. I do hope so. Michel F. van den Brun Viewer, started to watch the chanel of Mr. CT, at the moment he reconstructed the Ghia.

[@richardoswalt1009]

Practice makes perfect and you are definitely getting better, before you know it you will be a VW expert.

[@CTmoog]

Thanks Richard!

[@neenoonoo2564]

I can't wait to see it coming back to life and hit the 🛣️ .

[@carlosalbertoogliari1830]

Good job! You are an excellent mechanic, service of someone who knows the mechanics of the Volkswagen Beetle.  Good job! You are an excellent mechanic, service of someone who knows the mechanics of the Volkswagen Beetle.

[@robertochiaratti1380]

Great job 👏👏👏

[@stevehildreth1934]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! Brings back memories! I had a 1960 Bug, a 1970 Bug and a Bug chassis and a fiberglass body with a Corvair turbocharged engine in my youth!

[@CTmoog]

Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed it! =)

[@doublea9482]

These old VW Bugs are just big Go karts. Awesome rebuild!

[@nataliomaduro6320]

Men that's a really nice job and will wait for the next job gratings from AUA till the next 👍

[@johnnelson9309]

Outstanding craftsmanship, show off😜

[@CTmoog]

Thank you! =)

[@richardhill4862]

I agree with you that it is looking better. A little trick I learned on you seam sealer is to put masking tape down on both side of the seam gives you a good clean line of sealer.

[@CTmoog]

Thanks Richard! Great tip! = )

[@rioalexbrasil]

[@CTmoog]

Thank you! It's not easy at all....I think that's why I like it so much! =)

[@drscrib99]

I always found building the chassis is the most rewarding part of the restoration. I think you're finding it that way as well. Keep up the ecellent work and videos,

[@MusicManBigTimeStar]

WOW!!!!! I need to get a 65 N O W!!! Your inspiration & dedication, not to mention the tear down & the build up, complete with part tear down, step by step rebuilding (G O D , you make the process EASY! Like making your F A V O R I T E cake and someone else has already premixed the ingredients & pre-heated the oven❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jamessabastian6707]

Thank bro it 's wonderful watching yr project I learn somethink graphic I hope I can see more of this in further tks again Bro

[@MrRuaAyengin]

Good job, I'm using the same tires from ''Petlas'' manufactured in Turkey on my Citroen C 3 I'm very satisfied with them. they are quite durable, comfortable, and very affordable tires.

[@matthewmutch7853]

LOVE THE BUG!!!!

[@TheKaylegooding]

Should call you Gandalf.... coz thats magic 👍🧙‍♂️

[@leonardramsey3458]

The sweet smell of progress. A power Rusty beat up parts some paint effort lot of work. Little rusty starting to come together little bit at a time. 💪🏼🙂😎💯❤️

[@stevegarland7643]

You have 66-67 wheels on your 65 bug frame. Keep up the good work. Your videos have really helped me

[@jessebbutanda586]

Awesome work on the pan and the accessories you installed,

[@jimr513666]

steering box section was awesome!

[@1957charlyheinz]

Perfect Job.

[@GT.Bugger]

Looking great. It's such a good feeling when you start out with scrap and it ends up looking and being new! Taking an angled reading on the spring plate whilst it's on the stops won't tell you anything. You need to set the angle whilst the plates are not rested on the stop.

[@vayabroder729]

Right on on the spring plate readings; if they’re on the stops you cannot measure anything; they’ll be in the same place all the time. The point of that is to measure the resistance or stiffness of the torsion bars.

[@charlesgraham9954]

back in the mid 80s i had an old man that owned a salvage yard talk me into spending my hard earned money on a VW he had out back. i been working for the old man about 18 months. long story short, that lil 67 Bug turned out to be one of the quickest lil cars I've ever had. i can still hear them 2bll Webber carbs singing. embarrassed a lot of V8s, specially 5.0s. IMA FAN BRO, love it. air cooled all day.

[@jeanchristopheblondeau2761]

It's great to see the beetle come back to life, congratulations and thank you for sharing!

[@normanmerrill1241]

Nice work

[@marcuscicero9587]

great vid, keep em comin. when you put the tires on I got the painful reminder of those hellacious lugs. Herculean effort brother.
