FINISHING Our WIDEBODY Honda Powered VW Beetle

[@Smittybuilds]

Dude yesssss

[@micheltremblay4774]

The resulting look with the wide tires fitting nicely into the custom shop rear fenders is impressive and bold. The shape of those fenders says: "Look at me". Well done Preston, well worth the wait. Take care.

[@joshm8661]

Hell yea, that thing is really looking good put together and with those wheels and slicks. You killed it, especially for doing most of it by yourself in your free time. Now it's almost time for you to enjoy the fruits of your labor going down the strip.

[@GimbleOnDew]

Music at the start works really well. I like it

[@davidhammond3336]

Been watching for years !!!! Damm looks well marra :)))) much love from yorkshire England 🇬🇧 👌

Preston That's one bad ass bug You did awesome job

[@jonatesrides]

This thing is really coming together. It looks so awesome

[@ELLeeOh]

The process 👍👍from this guy

[@mattbauman]

Holy sheeeet! It looks so good man! I can't wait to see it next weekend!

[@Blue-dtagon-e-alecrim]

Beautiful beetle 🇺🇸 bunito Fusca 🇧🇷

[@GeneFever]

Watching Preston build the wide body is like watching Michelangelo carving David and paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling at the same time.

[@Downer1300]

Wait.... What?

[@kiesh.]

@@Downer1300 🤣

[@michaelcaraway2305]

Now is the time to seriously think about Race Week 2.0. Get your build out there.

[@Stereomoo]

Probably needs rear lights for that,

[@t1bud42]

You got to think about sun light at high noon. That’s when the most damage happens to paint. So putting a light larger then the car above it and marking the ““sun spots is the place to sand down to make the look your going for.

[@GimbleOnDew]

Excited for this one. Bug looks great

[@C.S.86]

That paintjob looks so sick! I wanna copy it sometimes on my mk1.

[@manx1641]

Looking good, I much prefer watching you create something than watching old Hondas go in a straight line,

[@stephencarter1442]

Looks so awesome. Nice work.

[@jameskuhlman9835]

Well done. You are doing things most wouldn't even attempt and your persistence is paying off. Looks great!

[@bagelbandit6076]

This was definitely one of your better videos. Not sure what it was, but I liked it.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

I think part of it was me not talking for 50 minutes haha

[@davidblanck4131]

When I saw the photos on Facebook.... I was super excited. It came out so great. I love it. You know, for a couple of idiots. Not bad. As Brent would say, "This is Rad!". Absolutely incredible work.

[@Smrtazu]

Head over heels man. That is beyond stellar. As always, this step in the build was well worth the wait and better than I had expected. Baddest Bug running, for sure. Keep up the great work, and thanx again for sharing

[@MrFredshb]

Dude this is a sick build. Totally badass

[@swarf7251]

ooooo been waiting for this update!! looks awesome!

[@craigmiller7063]

What an accomplishment. I remember when this first started. I can't believe it's came this far. Just amazing

[@moparnasty9484]

I've yet to finish a project, so good job. I know you have worked hard on this build and congratulations it's a RAD car.

[@liamwulf]

That looks AMAZING! You did an awesome job on the bug body. Was great to watch you figure things out and make things work, even if it took you a try or three. I bet building the bug was a fantastic learning experience and I hope we see a whole lot more awesome builds out of you. Can't wait to see the Jeep-vette finished up and hauling ass, too!

[@SJ-cy3hp]

Looks great! Time to work on the jeep!🔥

[@davidhagenbuchjr2232]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

[@MoondyneJoe]

Preston, I'm so proud of you mate, I remember when you started on this project, and cutting the body in half, the pains of widening it, and getting that right, even when I tried to get you to just have a try to see what the front fenders looked like on the back, but now look at the little "Bugger" how relieved you must be to be at this point, and I suppose like building a house, it will never be finished as you will always be tinkering on it. A question please are you going to put a lexan divider between you and the engine area? Not only for noise reduction but for safety. And maybe a roof scoup to direct air down into the engine area, being summer,your way I could imagine you sticking your head out the door right now would give you an indication of what extra cooling on the engine will do for performance. I can't wait to see how your driving skills evolve Good luck in it's next part of your journey. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@craigdry9522]

So awesome Good to see this . Godspeed o your future endeavors

[@72GingerNinja]

I remember well the MR2 when you started this, its a million miles away from that now. It looks like a thing of beauty now. Well done mate.

[@HexyTech]

Yesss! These turned out soo good! Well worth all the time and effort you put into them - been watching for about 3 years now and you really have developed your "eyeball it, weld it, cut it, smack it, weld it again" technique into a fine art and the results keep getting better and better!!

[@Wackybackydonaldduck]

Awesome work Preston! Looks amazing.

[@davemundy7237]

Great work Preston, I've watched this build since almost day one, LOOKS AWASOME !!!!

[@marksmith0209]

PRESTONE! IT ME YOUR LANDLORD. I have never clicked the thumbs up so quickly in my life. Been following this bug since it was a completely different bug on the dyno at PFI - so good to see it finished! Now to enjoy it for a while before it breaks :D

[@t1bud42]

Your doing great! Keep making MORE content. See you in the next installment!

[@TobiasKaferMe]

Oh yes. Finally you did it. Great job and stunning stamina. Congratulations Preston. Well done.

[@offgridas]

KZbin notified me of this video, then asked how satisfied I was about the recommendation, I gave you a "very satisfied" Hope that feeds the Algo in your favour

[@christianvalfritt956]

Looks good..

[@MrLarsgren]

great work man. insane amount of patience. and best part is you made it yourself. now its time to grow a 3rd arm to pat yourself on the back. always cool when a crazy idea become a reality XD

[@justinbarrett33]

Been waiting for this one..

[@curtisprins8782]

All the post and hints got me waiting as well.

[@dra93n]

That is awesome Preston. You really done a great job making that look like a factory shape. The car looks great, well done 👍

[@deylichmorales4126]

That look soo good 👍

[@joeschmoe714]

When I saw the fenders in raw steel, the drivers side looked so different compared to the passenger side. Now that it's all painted up, it looks pretty similar. Great job on the fab work, especially since that was your first time with an English wheel! 👍 keep up the great work man!!

[@MrBillsfishin]

I think it looks great Preston... so awesome after watching these videos for so long to finally see it at this point. Nice that you didn't give up on it.

[@bottomendbliss]

I remember when i was a kid and you started this project. Amazing determination and commitment to never quit. Congrats it looks awesome and more importantly its uniquely yours.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

It’s taken me so long that you started watching as a kid and now you’re an adult?! Haha thanks you!

[@bottomendbliss]

@@GARAGEIdiotS Ice ages came and went, empires fell but the widebody beetle prevailed. Be careful it might have magical time travel powers.

[@42Hertzer]

Sweet!

[@elroycornhusker2383]

I've followed this build from the beginning and I must say through your stubborn determination you've finally cobbled together something to be proud of. I think it looks fan eefing tastic!! Now keep tweeking the mechanicals and get out there and rip it!

[@watersmart1]

Amazing your devotion and attention to detail has created the most unique beetle I’ve ever seen!👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@benstrait333]

Good to see you back at making videos and also looks like you've got work going for your main business. 🤘Good luck with both!

[@pdawg2211]

Sick!!!

[@august5249]

Turned out so good! It’s gonna look killer going down the track!!

[@SFFRACING]

Excellent video my man 🤘

[@futurelove9301]

Love watching your channel.I’m an American living in the jungles of Southeast Asia. I operate a feeding program here and life is pretty harsh. I love to kick back relax and watch your videos and forget about rebels,typhoid,malaria,earthquakes,typhoons and volcanoes for a little while.Ive got a Mitsubishi Adventure that Ive modified somewhat that I use to haul supplies on and off the mountains and jungle.Would love to have a shop like yours and do some really needed modifications.Anyways,just wanted to say hey.You never know who is watching you 😊🙏❤️

[@frankgeimer5952]

Those fenders and wing look real good! They were a lot of work to manufacture and they were worth it. Great job!

[@TurbosRUsRacing]

Car looks awesome. Can't wait to see it with the front guards modified and fitted

[@2hacksinashack]

You did an amazing job on those fenders Preston! It really helps make the look of the car. Body work is not an easy thing to do. You really have to stick with it, and you crushed it!

[@mattb2771]

Watched on the tv for a first time in a long time. Mate your video production skills are really improving! Great work and looking forward to seeing some numbers out of the bug!

[@joelblair8339]

It looks amazing! Super excited to see it on the track (after you learn to drive, of course).

[@gilbertsantos2969]

Nice job

[@mk-jf1ux]

fire wall behind drivers seats and turbo.

[@eppyschopshop]

Super dope. As someone more into traditional hot rods and carburetor v8s I can't get over this bug. Good job man. Keep it up

[@mickfbr]

Holy shit, this looks incredible, what an evolution! Your many many hours of work have paid off bro, well done for seeing your vision through...

[@MartianRacing]

It looks wonderful, proud of you man.

[@Faxmachine67]

Great balance in the video. Amazing outcome on the guards - you've come a long way.

[@burtonwhitaker6849]

Damn that looks amazing man keep up the great work 👍👍👍

[@nickyrichmond1856]

You absolutely killed it Preston keep up the good work from the UK 🇬🇧

[@alanspangler5621]

Dude it looks so sick. The algorithm brought me to your channel at the very first episode of this build

[@anthonyestevez118]

I love this build!

[@derPetunientopf]

yaa Boyiee ! Nice.

[@bobbylaw3928]

Now I'm really excited for pcsa on August 13th to see this thing in person!

[@codyhenault4597]

Preston the bug looks bad ass. You should totally put matching skinny up front. But for real. It a bad ass build

[@ThatCarGuyYT]

Now time for some nice front fenders and you can definitely say that you did a heck of a job. Very nice

[@djmjr77]

Very awesome brother!! Make sure to add a firewall before you start driving it hard. That thing is sick!!

[@Ithiel1981]

Awesome master build! Can't wait to see it on the strip!

[@Chris-Devine]

It's coming together nicely. Looks great!

[@hemiac]

Try some skinnys up front! I bet it would look awesome!. Finders look great 👍

[@chrishester3738]

Not a huge fan of the beetles but this thing looks bad ass! Can't wait to see how the rest turns out and how it sounds once you are running it!

[@under_wraps]

Im with you man the bug looks so sick!!!!!!! Love what you did and the fact YOU DID IT w/your own hands is even cooler! Can't wait to see whats to vome with it!!!!!! Keep doing what ur doing its gonna pay off in spades down the line. You got to much talent for it not to.......

[@allen2000rt]

Looking good. Don't forget the firewall for the sanctioning bodies so they'll let you run plus....#safety 3rd

[@wjpreslar]

Looking good. I'd also like to point out that the boostedboiz rep your merch which also looks pretty good. Need a firewall, and tail lights. Prep for the next RMRW.

[@ericsorg6335]

You have got to bring the bug to Florida!!! Been waiting for years to see the final product!!!

[@adamlarson5976]

Dude you absolutely killed it !!! This thing is awesome need to get it to pfi fir a super tune and hit the track.

[@alexjones8296]

Looks TOTALLY sick, mate. Been a long time coming, but so worth it. Top man😎

[@montelxrysprt1]

Preston you killed it on this project man.

[@timwegman5776]

I love the paint jobe on the bug it looks great. The blue in a patina with black is amazing. The big is looking good keep up the work man. The new ass of the bug looks amazing babies got back!! Great job Preston!

[@laytonjames8870]

Frankenstein fenders turned out killer. You should be proud.

[@rudolfopadilla535]

[@HuxRacing]

This thing looks amazing. So excited to see some passes.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Looks so damned good.It's done so well that many Bug lovers are really going to stare trying to figure out what's different,and that's the fun of it all.Well done Preston!!

[@josephpaul7217]

[@bradstanley116]
