[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Help us out! Go grab a tshirt! Thanks friends! thegarageidiots.com

[@allenlord3679]

Ill order one next weekend when I get back home.( It's only stupid if it doesn't work)

[@mobiousenigma]

thanks for the video.. i guess you deserve 2 min free time but your keeper needs a whipping for letting you post yesterday lol .the bug is looking good ,the front end is looking a bit like some ducenbergs

[@errolbeilby5736]

Just ordered a shirt. Was just thinking would be really cool to have a garage idiot mechanic shirt if you could get some made.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

@@errolbeilby5736 great idea!!

[@jarrodnorcross8661]

Ordered my second one yesterday!!! Already have the black and white one and it is the most comfortable shirt. Also just wanted to say I thought the thank you note you sent with the last shirt was super cool. Little personal step i appreciated

[@goblright]

Shapes are getting better and better. I wouldn’t drown them in graphics. But, that’s probably whats going to happen anyway. I admire your energy

[@riaanvrey2409]

Like the 3rd and last graphics

[@craigdry9522]

Can't help but thinking about your friends Team Olympus when I see the bug , they did such a great job and raised the bar on your quality. Miss them , I was watching their channel . After Daniel's back injury, no more videos . Any news ? Gussets are great . Excelente job , Preston

[@justinhobart8747]

I've kept up a Team Olympus postings... They've completely switched gears, from what I gather not building any trucks anymore, got a lot of equipment in to build parts... I do believe if I remember correctly they are planning a few built and video releases but that's been a while ago I read the last post.

[@craigdry9522]

@@justinhobart8747 Same for me , But haven't seen anything in quite some time. Thought maybe there would be a video of them turning out something from the new CNC machine .

[@T4BCSY]

Dude! You should leave that Bug just like it is! It’s a pretty bad ass VW Rat Rod! Celebrate this cars evolution instead of hydro dipping it. The way it looks now represents what you’ve done to this point. It’s a mixture of old school and new school in a cool way! Best episode ever!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

I see what you mean but I’d really like to keep rolling with what’s in my head, I see your point though!!

[@T4BCSY]

@@GARAGEIdiotS Put your Rat Rod motor in it and go kick some ass at the track! Embrace the Rat Rod-Garage Idiot style!!!!

[@brettohalloran3152]

I love the way the bug is looking out of the freaking box man really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really looking forward to seeing the end result.

[@TheBlaqDeval]

The front end is just all radical and never seen ever on a bug! So thats what i come to see, u doing something different and unique!!! Just little gaps to fill for on the sides but front is real aggressive! For livery designs no.2 & no.6

[@rowdyfamily210]

I love the look FTW

[@nicholassandy5470]

No need for graphics. It looks bonkers n perfect now. Lil clean on the welds n clear coat. GOLDEN LIKE A GOOSE!!

[@UnWrecked]

Those spots you capped off on each side of the hood would be awesome as air intakes. you could open them back up and extend them like scoops.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Great thinking!!

[@Nihil1st1347]

What You do, is so exciting. Some moments I fear the worst but then You give it a nice twist.

[@MrBillsfishin]

Nice progress sir.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Thanks Bill!

[@andriesburger4923]

Still here looks different... Welding came along way

[@removeableskull7446]

If you are spray painting it it would be cool if you used the glow paint that Wally World got as your base and if you make patterns of it show through it would be sick. I did that with my tailgate

[@stevenheidenreich143]

Looks bad ass

[@BrainsofFrank]

Wow you reminded me of good ole Dr.Seuss

[@rollerdragon]

Preston!!! i see what you did there... and i'm not hating it at all... one thing, use the washer steel as inner wheel wells... presently, you have nada cockpit fire blockage.

[@errolbeilby5736]

Can't wait to see the bug done.

[@carlosmoya2745]

Ya lo quiero ver enla pista

[@seanbragg1696]

You should just keep it all that grape color on the hood so the granny crater butt welds really pop lol

[@datorr7470]

Stickers!

[@jonhesselink4143]

Good Job

[@manx1641]

Preston your work has evolved, this is it your channel will now be all that you wanted, the bug looks so cool in a weird way.

[@stephencarter1442]

Nice work man. Got the look now.

[@wf6951]

Let the judging commence!

[@kwaynr1301]

yes! it should definitely say 'sponsors' somewhere!

[@73Bugman]

Hey 👋 P. The beetle has always been one of my favorites. Not always sure about the directions you take, but I usually like it when it's finished. It's a surprise, very cool.

[@vaporbill2843]

I like the third livery. the fewer straight lines the better. so jagged lines and the Pointillism type spotty texture will hide all the angle changes on the body.

[@shermainebrathwaite5898]

I like how the bug is coming along. U could do a little more with the bonnet like adding fenders coming up and stopping with the hood that opens wen u open the hood

[@THESLlCK]

looks better without fenders

[@davidrousseau1909]

I like the 3rd and last graphic the best

[@frankgeimer5952]

I love your vision for the bug!

[@robertpenn250]

Dude I’ll be honest wit ya. I’m not a big fan of those graphics. imo I think a nice silver with set of 1/8” pinstripes running down the body line would look sweet.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Those graphic are just rough ideas, what I’m doing won’t be any of those exactly, just some visual aids

[@tonysargent1699]

Honestly, I think it's mad looking and that's how it should look Preston!

[@JamezTechAuto]

I love it can’t wait until Brent tune it out

[@markwollander2002]

Keep it up!!

[@bagelbandit6076]

That is one Sick Scarab !!!

[@stevehennessy3588]

Looking great - can't wait to see the finished bug. Think about the body lines (lots of curves) and try to work in a design that uses the curves to your advantage. Lightning bolts are great - maybe just curve them to follow the body lines. Keep going - almost done!

[@joelblair8339]

Looking awesome

[@bennieleip579]

Man i hope you get racing soon and not that you go a surtain speed and all kind off parts fly off 🤣 i like the bug body but i hope it will stay together

[@jmug68]

I like the first or the last color scheme. Remember the lighter the color, the less the imperfections will show. I think the front end looks good.

[@shanewright6958]

It's really looking good 👍👍🇨🇱

[@TheTuttleCrew]

Great video, I love the use of old appliances in the fenders..... How creative!! God bless!

[@haydee3260]

love it love it loooovveeee it!!!!!!

[@drtonyvalentich]

Love it and always appreciate your efforts. The great thing about paint is if it doesn't look right you can always repaint it. I said it before... I would love to see a world first of you hydro_dipping a complete car... or at least a complete car body... that would be cool... But what ever you do... I'll be watching it and liking it... Thank you for all your work... You do inspire me to go out and keep on plugging at my projects... Thanks Preston........

[@bigbadjohn8534]

I'm digging that front end!!!

[@Kapil-Patel]

Awesome work man, the welds are looking sexy and the front end is coming together nicely. The hinge mechanism is a very cool touch. For paint schemes/livery I like two in particular, 1) KE70 '76' Corolla w/ stars (fourth one) 2) Green & Black jaguar (last one).

[@UnWrecked]

Lots of progress in one video! great editing too!

[@DeadFront1319]

Gunna look sick with a livery on it, no matter what you do, I'm sure it'll look bad ass!

[@adventurevehiculist]

I am really into this. Vdub and Vtec coexistence

[@anthonyestevez118]

I think it's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@guidoheeling1179]

Pain scheme ideas are super cool! I suggest making the underground matte because of mistakes

[@burtonwhitaker6849]

It's looking amazing man keep up the great work

[@AmfP_89]

Its coming together man. But its gonna be HEAVY

[@jenibond]

1 of 5 lol !!!!! love the bug ! But that blue hood side profile reminds me of Gonzo from the muppets !!! So please paint soon !!!!! LOL

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Hahaha okay! Thanks!

[@GeneFever]

Looks great up front, it's the vw bug you don't want to meet in a dark alley. I like the 3rd livery on the hatch, some of that fiber weave in the paint scheme. Keep pushing Preston!

[@arcadiagreen150]

I'm so glad you've persevered on with youtube and these projects.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Thank you, I’m ready to get one finished though haha

[@arcadiagreen150]

@@GARAGEIdiotS I also want to congratulate you. I have never seen someone use an angle grinder as much as you. If there was a competition for wearing out cutoff wheels, you'd be my champion. Keep rocking Pres.

[@WRXBase]

I love how unique and cobbled the front end looks, Preston. It's been a long road and you're almost done!! Keep the press on! Paint scheme: Love the 2nd blue one

[@joshs199]

Raise hell Preston. Your in the right frame of mind now. Can't wait to see new content. 😁👍

[@jarrodnorcross8661]

Looks great bro! The last livery was pretty cool

[@andyskaggs3323]

I like that your working hard on this art piece! This is one one of my favorite KZbin builds. Actually favorite now with Boostedboiz Mr2 and Mr. Dos. Yours is the most creative by far. Looking forward to the next few videos!

[@carlosparadaalvarez4840]

Magnifico ; he tenido varios VW ; asi ninguno Me encanto!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@seanbragg1696]

Duct tape finger and hole pants mean progress for tokyo drift lol

[@chrisgenovese8188]

I started watching the first few minutes of the 4th video and realized I had to see the whole build. I know how it ends, but I can't wait to see how you get there.

[@terjejohnsen3651]

Where is the helmet when drive motorbike? Cool vw mr2 he he.

Thanks man, comments like yours help me keep workin!

[@turbotechnics7010]

The car with the 76 on the side would be dope

[@drewdaskievige754]

As for the paint scheme at the end, I like the first one, 2nd choice be the 68 one.

[@knowbull5hit590]

“Fuzzy little man peach” lmfao is that old Greg?

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Yes haha

[@rsharney1111]

I haven't heard "old Greg" in over a decade.

[@matthewvasquez7882]

"This my fuzzy little man peaches" God please tell me that wasn't an old Gregg reference... hahahaha

[@cortniesmith3138]

15:35 I heard “I’m going to go get wired then back to work” which is a totally different thing but did make me chuckle

[@88maaax]

Looking pretty good, I would love to see that front clip be done in fibreglass down the track!

[@colbytyree2592]

I love it

[@austinelliott7904]

I love the bug it's like a rat rod bug who cares what anyone else thinks about it your building it the way you want to

[@anthonylundstrom4682]

Pretty awesome my Dude!

[@derPetunientopf]

I like the strong green from your color ideas.

[@kensmith8832]

Just a thought, you could wrap the bug to look like you dipped the whole thing, twice. I like your ideas at the end. The green and black really stands out. Many people use the Forza game for graphics ideas, but I don't recommend spending money on a game that only has a good graphic art section.

[@micheltremblay4774]

Love the last one, fluo green with black accents. Try to picture the bug at 100 mph and you behind the wheel... One month, tall order... Take care.

[@markbrueckner4445]

Option 3

[@exactingdeseno3027]

Looks like a Bunankenstein love it

[@justinhobart8747]

Oh my! 😳 you actually got a video out the next day... 🤯... does this mean it might actually get finished??? 😲 You say you need to take your channel to another level with something to drive what about the Jeepvette it was pretty much done! I would have signed that thing up for Rocky Mountain race week as is! Yes money time oh, but lots of content and getting channels name out there. Keep up the good appliance metal part welding...😉 Mr. Me Myself and Irene.🤪

[@theglitch_713]

Siiiiick!!!!!!!!

[@dolfie5574]

Genius! Going to look good.

[@shermainebrathwaite5898]

Theres alot more u can do with the front but it looks cool man.

[@jeffsmith9305]

$ 4:40 -- if you put large LED headlights where the rhomboid hole at the bottom of the fender, it might look great

[@SpaceMulva]

Put heat shield on the front of the garage door. take like an hour.

[@rexdrabble4988]

Well done,you have hung in there and it looks awesome. LEGEND!!

[@GT.Bugger]

This thing is guna be wild! Love it, can't wait to see how it turns out.

[@kevinhamling1963]

Hey man it's coming together. I reckon maybe 500 grinding disc's and she'll really be looking sweet. ✌ Peace man.

[@billysworkshop.]

Just clear coat it as it is now, it's the perfect rat rod look plus it will look sick as f ripping down the track beating shiny looking cars!

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

I love that your dedicated to get the bug done. Your bug is too rad to be not driven! Digging the front end. Hey man not everyone can be welders, I'm also a grinder if ya know what I mean. Good ole flap wheel on the grinder makes us look like we are pros at fab work.😉

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Hahaha I too am a grinder haha

[@Nihil1st1347]

I really like Your body paint ideas. Do something like this. One almost looked like the logo of an engery drink brand. Maybe You get them as sponsors? Good luck!

[@dominicanito91]

friend I love 😊 seeing your project has very good motivation 👍 keep it up I want to see the video when it's ready

Lookin pretty crazy!!! Keep it up, it will be badass!!

[@rogerfleury9759]

Preston, just get it done, running, racing shape, paint it either white or black, what ever will be better for your graphics, then decide on the graphic scheme. We all mostly want to see it running and racing! Just my opinion. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Okay man! Thanks!

The second graphic I think looks best

[@warriervw]

it looks cool man . cant wait to see this come together .good job man .
