You know CT, I see comments complaining that you never finish one thing before you start another, but I personally like the constant variety. It's similar to how I approach my own projects; when I get bored with one I set it aside and work on another.

@brianw89633 ай бұрын
First time for me and evidently don’t know the history on this build. When You get everything back together and begin front alignment, I can help with that. Very simple DIY procedure , just have to fabricate a simple toe tool to make it easy, and if you make it like mine, it will work on pretty much any vehicle. No need for 4 wheel alignment on these beetles as Your not going to be adjusting anything on the rear.

Cool deal! I believe you are missing two large rubber snubbers on each side of the front beam between the trailing arms. Not sure you’ll be able to put the body back on with the carburetors installed. Tip: use some lip balm on your cardboard manifold gaskets to prevent leaks. Also; put some wheel bearing grease on each of the carburetor linkage pivots; it’ll operate a whole lot smoother and last longer. Finally; get yourself some 11 mm space saver nuts for the carb manifolds.

Several things: - At 15:00 in, allow me to encourage you to start using an appropriate anti-seize on all your threads or tightly mating parts like splines - especially so since you live in humid Florida. Trust me when I say that you'll thank yourself some day... and so might someone else who comes along after you! - At 16:15 in, remember that not all tires are going to be perfectly concentric on the tread pattern. While you can use a tape measure to get the alignment close, it probably won't be dead on so keep that in mind. The last thing you want to do is prematurely chew up tires - especially so in the era of Bidenomics! - At 36:15 in, the M/C... why didn't you deal with it when it was new to prevent rust? I would suggest a thorough clean followed by self-etching primer and paint at the very least although nickel & cadmium plating would be best before paint. That part would be perfect for a home plating setup in the garage or shop - the plating would stave off rust formation indefinitely if you did it right. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum

I was curious why you have disks brakes on the rear but drums in the front? usually its the other way around. on the carbs I found using those 11mm brass nuts a much easier way to secure the carbs and as an added benifit they dont conduct heat the same as steel and wont back off like steel nuts sometimes do. Great job , love how you walk everyone though your logic when dont something new

CT I have been watching since the first episodes. With rusty when you did a first start. I have watched every video of vw stuff some s Of the Karman ghia is hard to find. How many KG's 4? Two were 1967 & a 1972 I think plus the 5 ? VW-Porsche 914's. I know you live down in Flordia. If you could please keep a eye out for a vw411& or vw412. Try finding a Fastback & Sqaureback they arw really great fun fast (for vw) the Automatic are kinda puke. The Automatic Stickshift found in Beetles & Karman Ghia are fun. Hope to meet you in person some day.
