[@nturner6760]

Looks awesome I hate red but that red makes the blue standout even more beautiful

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I wasn't sure about the red also but it looks cool with the blue! Thanks for the comment 👍

@@ACDesignsGarage Awesome!!! I can’t wait! 🛠🛠 Good for you, I know it’s exciting!!

[@Baggedbug]

This bug really deserves to be driven always My dad has bought a avocado green '63 narrow beam with a 1600cc As soon as he gets it registered, gets the clutch maintenanced, and makes it road worthy he will daily drive the heck out of it

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I agree, I need to drive it more for sure.

[@MrBriggsy70]

Looks Awesome , But Please keep an eye on your PORT-A-WALLS they tend to dig into and eat your Sidewalls

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, ill keep an eye on it, id really like to put real whitewalls from diamond back, but there expensive!!

[@vw_beetle_dave]

love this bug needs the caps on . then its perfect complete

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks, I like the caps better also

[@vw_beetle_dave]

@@ACDesignsGarage my 70 has empi 8 wheels but might put the original wheels with caps back on when I have had new channels welded in.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I live the empi wheels and the OG wells it would be a hard pic, but will look sweet eaither way!!!!

[@gilbertosilvapereira5962]

Fusca lindo irmão parabéns, tenho um 66 também igual ao seu. Beetle beautiful brother congratulations I have a 66 also like yours.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, I love my beetle, most fun car ive owned!!!!

Killer color combo. No caps looks meaner.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I agree!!!!!

[@BurningRubberDC]

Hay Adrian, It’s Samuel. Videos are looking good always loved the bug!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks man!!!!

[@user-mn1pk8oe6y]

Need a video on your front suspension, cheapest way possible imo

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I have air shocks on it now but I think im gonna switch to pandraggers single bag beam, it will work a ton better!

[@chasmcneal7894]

I don’t get to drive anymore but if i did the bug be the one

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Its pretty fun to drive, im fixin to start some more videos on it. Waiting on my tag lol

[@guspholsap8757]

Hey! You just left the lug bolts loose!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for watching, I always torque my lugs but I forgot to film it lol, thank you for lookin out for me!!!

[@guspholsap8757]

@@ACDesignsGarage You forgot your torque! Oh no!

[@getthebrewsin6258]

Stunning bug mate, the colour combo is perfect, and that subtle pinstriping on the deck lid is the cherry on top. I think wide 5 wheels look equally good with and without caps, hard to pick sometimes. Another cool look are those chrome nipple caps that sit between the drum and wheel. I bought a ‘64 project a few months ago which I can’t wait to start working on. I owned 2 bugs in the past that didn’t work out so I have unfinished business. Cheers from the UK, subscribed 👍🏻

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome thank you, congratulations on the new bug, I love those early vws. I hope to make some more content on my 66!!!!

[@chasmcneal7894]

I had a seizure when I was driving I ran off a bridge hit a bunch of trees luckily I’m alive

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Wow ,your very Blessed to survive that!!!

Hello great video I'm lowering my 66 what did you use to lower it.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, mine has dropped spindles ,air shocks and a 6" narrowed beam on front and air shocks and dropped spring plates on rear, hope this helps!!!!!

Is this a stock beam?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

No its a 6 inch narrowed KCW beam

[@miggiesmallz187]

@@ACDesignsGarage thanks. I'm looking for tires and want to go low on a stock beam.

[@rnbriley]

Why does my bug only have 4 bolts and yours has 5?

[@rnbriley]

I don’t want to buy these wheels and realise they don’t work for my vw I have a 1972

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I think 67 or 68 was the last year for the wide 5 bolt pattern, mine is a 66

[@rnbriley]

@@ACDesignsGarage ok Thank you

[@garydressel7182]

Are those rims custom made? If so , got a phone number for the guy?

[@ACDesignsGarage]
