Thanks!

Thank you my friend, that was very nice of you!

[@adamgray2720]

Nice looking car. Sounds like you are off to a good start with your priorities. I remember when I was younger and the stuff I had to do to get it home. Great story!

[@douglasbarnhart3324]

Thanks for the video.

[@greggbrown0]

Love that Beetle, that’s what I had back in 1977. 1965 but mine was yellow.

[@JDSpook]

Nice vid, Raul. Good luck on your 65 project Bug and I look forward to seeing the end result! 👍👊

[@ibrewster]

Raul, cool project. I'm just finishing my 65' project, which has been 3 years in the making! Good luck, and I'll be following you on your channel.

[@MelissaBrown-h5o]

Great project! The body and pans look great!

[@TheJorgSacul]

Raul, you have a project there-- not a bad one, but definitely a fun project. If I were starting where you are, I'd consider a full new wiring harness. I think that will pay off down the road. Solid wires and dependable grounds will do wonders. From the look of the butchered doors, I'd be suspect of any other "special modifications" they may have made over the years. I look forward to watching your progress!

Looks like a fun project. Love the wheels, look forward to see the progress

[@Slatersave]

That must have been quite the pothole!

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Glad to see, your're feeling better.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thank you my friend, I truly appreciate that very much!

[@jimstewart6145]

[@MikeMoose67]

Raul that is not a bad looking car at all…good looking pans that’s great… brakes/ignition/tank/doors and you’ll be set… I wouldn’t do the black I would take the striped off completely…good video.. hey Slade I thought of your neighbor weed eating when I heard that truck beeping while Raul was talking at the end 😂

[@greggbrown0]

Still looking for another 😁

[@bobsbarnworkshop]

Check the rear spring plate retainers and bushings, I have a 72 super beetle and my retainer plates are rusted away, the spring plate’s are rusted and the bushings are shot!

[@garyjones2582]

Raul u might ck with Pete at Airkuled in Arizona, he only uses the best parts.. See what he recommends and where he orders his stuff.. looks like a good project...

[@cjjones1556]

Good luck with the project Raul. I might bring back some fun memories or remind you of why you got out of VWs back in the day. People say that a lot. I always wonder when the day was🤔 I like CIP1 for parts. They often have good, better or best options. 🖕🤙

[@superveganwhat]

I got one of those plastic Vdo sending units from jbugs for a 67 works better than the brass aftermarket ones no problems yet

[@robertlambert5299]

Those front shocks are bolted up side down. Can’t tell if that’s plastic or metal.

[@josephheston9238]

Someone did a butcher job with those doors

[@robertlambert5299]

What is Raul’s channel? Post a link or name for it.

[@fireice5293]

He posted it in the video showing it

[@robertlambert5299]

Hahahaha yeah I just hit that part.

[@superveganwhat]

I would stay away from aftermarket pop out windows they’re notorious for leaking if you can get some original ones and rebuild them that would be better but don’t do the aftermarket pop out windows

[@zimms-world]

Cool video, I just found Raul’s channel the other day. Would be honored if you showed my car on your channel. I’ll send you an email to work out the details
