The Patina Twins are definitely some of your better projects. If they were mine, one would get a stock refresh and the other would be a 1700cc terror, but both would look similar on the outside. One for cruising, one for bruising. Double the fun.

Don't know what part of Florida you hail from but back in the late 70's bought a Beetle from Pensacola, Fla, that was in good condition. Dealer had sprayed it well with undercoating so it was very solid. Made it well worth saving.

Hello CT, I really enjoy your videos, especially because I also have a 65 bug that I am restoring too. The shows you produce are informative and motivational, so please keep doing them. I am still chasing rust and mechanical issues and enjoy spending some time tinkering with this labor of love. My finish line is closer than yours and anxious to see this completed so I can go buy celebratory ice cream sundaes with my daughters in the bug.

@darkfactory80827 ай бұрын
Well, Mr. CT, work is progressing. I think you shouldn't worry too much about changing some parts like junction boxes, fuse boxes etc. as some parts are becoming difficult to obtain and the standard today is way better. When I will rebuild my "boxy", I will make also a hybrid machine, changing some less noticeable parts with a more modern counterpart, I'll also make some modifications on the older version of some parts to make those better. Some stuff was not really good to start with, depends though. Cheers and keep on.

I believe your car is a '65, not a '64. No flashers as '66 was the first year for flashers. All the windows on the "greenhouse" were made bigger in 1965. The vent windows on the doors were the pointy "Mr Spock eared" type, not the smoother rounded ones found on pre-65 bugs.

Keep in mind, brother that the spiders need eggs and what you see is a female and there’s probably hundred possibly many hundreds of eggs ready to hatch make sure you either burn them or put them in a close black bag very tight.
