Thanks for giving me the courage to weld up my car, for helping me realize that it doesn't have to be perfect, that we're our own worst critics and to have fun. I'm 47 years old and "welding" for the first time on my 67 bug that I've had for 20 years. Keep up the great content.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Many others have given me the same courage to do projects so I completely understand where you’re coming from. Your comment did brighten my day and I couldn’t agree more with what you said. Thank you and thanks for being here.

[@richpeacock5768]

Congratulations Gary, you may not think you're special ,but I do😃 I am sure many others think you're special too. You are a great inspiration to others . Thank you for everything that you do sir😃

[@VWJawbreaker]

Than you sir. Let me rephrase, I’m no more special than anyone else out here. We all are special and have many talents of all sorts. As always, I greatly appreciate your sir.

[@davidgiesfeldt6650]

Your win is well deserved, you down play your skills but fabrication, engine builder and creative MAD genius… you are inspirational!

[@VWJawbreaker]

I appreciate that but I’m just an average guy, seriously. I appreciate you being here and wish you a happy holidays.

[@TheEZGZ]

Good on Ya my friend! While I'm shoveling snow I hope put on some miles and smiles with the Baja. God Bless and Keep everyone safe during the Holidays.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you my friend, I can’t express how much I appreciate you. Take it easy and I gotta find some warmer clothes as it’s getting down into the mid 30’s here tonight 😂 Stay safe and remember I’m always here if you need anything.

[@V8N8T]

Congratulations again on the trophy and mag spread what an honor! Excited to see what's coming! Btw great job on rescuing another vw and turning it into something amazing!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you buddy! Definitely wasn’t expecting that but I’ll take it! The next build isn’t a car but something that’ll be used with the Sickxty so kind of related lol

[@V8N8T]

@@VWJawbreaker awesome!

[@briancole7935]

Congrats!! All your hard work got you a great car and some well earned recognition! Glad to see lots of people giving you the credit you deserve. Excited to see what you have for us next year!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you for being here and helping keep the channel alive.

[@zimms-world]

Congrats on the win and the feature in volksmania. Looking forward to your future endeavors. Thank you for supporting the humane society. It’s a great cause

[@VWJawbreaker]

Appreciate that sir! We’ve helped them for the last probably 5 years or so. It’s a nice way to give back and support the local community. Plus I’m a huge animal lover. Hope you had a great thanksgiving and post an update soon!

[@MAGAisacult]

You won for your ingenuity, individuality, quality of craftsmanship and practicality. I suspect you love to create and think of ideas all day, and night during the build. I always knew you'd get a magazine spread, but frankly I assumed you'd be in a red Speedo and flexing!!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Well to be honest, the magazine wouldn’t include the speedo pics…. Something about keeping the readers engaged and buying the magazine. 😂 Seriously though, thank you and I do appreciate you being here. The build turned out pretty good and I’m mostly happy with the results. See you in January!

[@Plownose930]

Thank you for the update! enjoy your time off and look forward to more fantastic builds next year. Congrats on the well deserved first place.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Appreciate you being here!

[@jimlester5003]

I had no doubt that you would knock it out of the park. The Sickty is amazing. Congrats. I wish you and your family the best for the upcoming holidays and I'll see ya next year. Be safe. Be well and most of all, keep on being you. Enjoy my friend!!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you Jim. I’m so glad you’ve been here so long. We have a great community that I’m honored to be a part of. Happy holidays and we’ll see ya next year!

[@eduardorodriguez3262]

Thanks for the update and congrats on getting in the magazine . Have a "GOOD" Holiday season and get some rest👍🇩🇪

[@VWJawbreaker]

Appreciate ya man!

[@raymondwilkerson5069]

Bug Jam was a great time and you totally deserve that 1st place plaque sir. It's a lot of competition with a lot of awesome people and cars... going to try and make this Humane Society charity event Sunday but still up in the air.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir. It was a great time as always with tons of great VW’s. Hope you can make it Sunday but totally understand if you can’t.

[@thehammah8444]

No surprise you got a blue ribbon, you did a great job on that build!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you! I appreciate you being here.

[@Thomas-fo9zu]

Congratulations on a well-deserved win! I hope you and yours have a safe and wonderful holiday season.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you! You too!

[@vayabroder729]

Congratulations!!! The prize is a testament to your hard work and imagination. Yes sir! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks buddy, I appreciate that. Could just be that it’s a new build and different 😂 Either way, it was a cool feeling for sure. Merry Christmas to you and yours! Stay safe and enjoy every moment.

[@geremysexton7051]

Hope you have a great Holiday season. Thank you for all of the video content. I don't think I could ever bring myself to do what you do. I don't see how you find the time. It is just amazing to me. Thank you!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks man! You find time for things you want to do and after doing this for so long it kind of becomes second nature in a way. Still need to balance things out and I’m still learning every day. Thank you for being here, it’s greatly appreciated.

[@rickteeters6329]

Enjoy the holidays, Gary. Thank you for all your content.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Happy holidays and thank you!

[@martinharris5017]

Well done Gary! A real tribute to your abilities to get the award and mag feature. look forward to seeing whatever content you have for us next year. You ARE special (So am I but I've got a diagnosis to prove it, lol) Hope you have a great Christmas and a wonderful new year, all the best to your family from ours:)

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir, I appreciate you more than you know. We’re all special in our own way and all have great attributes to bring to the table. Merry Christmas to you and yours and wish a safe and happy new year.

[@thebinderbuilder]

Seriously though, its always fun to see whatcha doing - Can't wait to see what you are up too.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Appreciate ya sir!!

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

Pretty sweet dude. Congrats on first place. The hard work paid off. I’m sure there were pretty sick customs there but you had what the judges liked the most. Looking forward to what you bring in January.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks man, I’m sure there were also. Pretty sure it’s mostly due to being new and not many have seen it out in person yet. Either way, it was a nice ending to what was already a great weekend.

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

@@VWJawbreaker I guess, but you did something right so it well deserved. Maybe one day I will win first place in a contest, even though that is not my goal but might happen if I set my standard high enough. Not going for the full custom category though so prob a lot more competition. Ive never considered winning a car show but I’m motivated by your success. I do plan on doing a full pan off for my 65 vert

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@SanDiego_VDubLife don’t shoot for first place, shoot for your vision and what you want out of the build. It’s your time and money, build it to suit you. A trophy was never my goal, my goal was to make what I wanted and enjoy the process. I attend the shows to hang out with friends, enjoy food around a camp fire and relax. It’s a mini vacation for the most part. The trophy was just an added bonus.

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

@@VWJawbreaker for sure. That’s the plan.

[@cjjones1556]

Totally deserved. You worked your butt off on the Sixkty and we watched. At least when your camera was working 😂. Have a great holiday season and am looking forward to January. ✌️

[@VWJawbreaker]

Appreciate ya man! Have a great holidays 🤙

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Congrats on the win, Gary! I’ll keep an eye out for the Volksmania article. 👍

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir! Been thinking of you lately. Hope all is well.

[@easternWashington.]

Congratulations on the win. Have a good time on your break.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you and have a great holiday!

[@hummv8]

Great job!! Great video! Well deserved. looking forward for the write up.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks John!

[@royworks28]

Can’t wait to see what you are up to next. Congratulations on the win, it’s definitely a cool car.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir, definitely appreciate you my friend. Next build will be fast tracked and shouldn’t take too long…. Hope I didn’t just jinx myself 😂

[@dillyd3488]

It's definitely a well-deserved break! Thank you for making these vids, and may you get a more reliable camera for Christmas!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Need to take some time and get things lined up for January. Things are falling into place so we should be good to go. Don’t see a new camera in my future but I think I found a way around the issue some. Appreciate ya man!

[@WestGeorgiaAirCooled]

I was surprised to see the 60 in volksmania. My first published photo is in this issue, it’s one I will remember forever.

[@VWJawbreaker]

It’s definitely a cool feeling to open the magazine and see your stuff in it. Thanks so much for being here.

[@matthewchilders5263]

The article is awesome! The first place is definitely the cherry on top. Love your videos and the personality you bring with it. Happy holidays to you and your family. I will be heading to Florida the first week in February maybe I can catch up with ya at a show and see that beautiful 60.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir! It was difficult to write the article but once I got most of the way through it, I was able to whip it into shape and Paul easily signed off on it. Definitely appreciate the support more than you know. Keep me posted on your trip and we’ll try to make it happen.

[@matthewchilders5263]

I saw Brent from @HapticGarage and you last year at the Depot.

G'day Gary, Congratulations on the trophy. 🎉 Anyway thankyou for a great year of videos. You had some ups and some downs but in the end it all come together for what i reckon was an awesome year. So to you, your family, and the 🐕, have a wonderful safe Christmas. ✌️Peace man.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you Kevin! It’s just like any year, we all have ups and downs… what matters is how you handle it and power through the situation. I appreciate you more than you know. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well and we’ll get started here soon!

[@kevinhamling1963]

@@VWJawbreaker Thanks man ✌️

[@TalonsNewAdventures]

Congratulations on the fist place! That goes to show your hard work on the car has paid off! When I initially saw your post, I was wondering if you were “coming out of the garage” as a secret muscle car lover or something…. LOL!😂

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir! No secret there, I do love old muscle cars but the likelihood of one being here is slim to none!

[@RJLM330]

I thought you were putting braking on. Im GLAD YOUR NOT IN TOTAL RETIREMENT. I have never thought of building an engine 1600 upgrade but I may give it a shot. And your chart and break down was immensely helpful

[@VWJawbreaker]

I could help but share my excitement with everyone. I never planned on going into full retirement, I’ve been doing this too long and miss it but needed a break to get some things lined up for January. Appreciate you being here and wish you a happy holidays.
