I'd put the Porsche 356 nippled hub caps on that would look cool

The nipple caps are pretty cool, I agree!

I was just looking at the Mobelwagen for my 68… looks sharp. Like faded dirty blue jeans look. Maybe clear coat? White basket weave interior…

Liked and subscribed. I am digging this. "Will it run" videos are fun, but those wires are 56 years old. Anyone who has seen a glowing wire under the dash in the middle of nowhere, at night will testify... (raises hand). Same with rupturing a rock hard brake hose. November is going to come quick. That motor is zero priority, drop a runner in it, skip the crate motor. Looking forward to a pan swap with the body on. Harvest what you need from the other bugs. You got this, go man, go!

Good call on the disk brake upgrade Sam. Always better than the stock drum brakes.

I have a tire question. What do you think would be the tallest and maybe widest tire i could put on stock 15" 1963 beetle rims. Car is stock height. I just want to maybe get more miles per hour on the hgihway with a taller wheel right now i have 165 80 r 15 as the tire size thanks love your site

Your best bet it to head to a local tire shop and talk to people that regularly deal with tires.

That '71+ bug in the background is such a distraction 🤣 I like that t-shirt but don't see it on the website. Old design that's no longer available?
@Sam_Mebane Жыл бұрын
The 71 Super belongs to one of the guys here at the shop, it will be going home soon, now that it's starting to cool off. I did some videos on it that will be coming out soon. As for the T-shirt, yeah it's an old one! I'm guessing 4 or 5 years old now at least?

@@Sam_Mebane So bugs aren't good to drive in 100+ degree heat? Do they overheat? I'm in NY so it never gets that hot here, lol. Sad about the t-shirt...would have added one to my order last week if they were still available...

Firestone will not order these into a store… weird
@Sam_Mebane2 ай бұрын
Agreed, I asked the guys at Firestone if they could order the tires in and they said no. The vintage Firestone tires are made under license from another supplier.
