[@mikebriere7531]

The more parts you add just makes it look better and better.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Definitely more to come and plan on kicking it in high gear probably next month.

[@royworks28]

That thing is looking so frickin cool. I love when builds get to this point.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank ya sir! I agree, it’s fun getting to this point!

[@magaisacult2023]

I am very impressed. It will be great to see it in person knowing what it was when you got it.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir. It should be at the local shows later this fall!

[@davidryan573]

It’s really coming together, You must be super proud 👍.

[@VWJawbreaker]

To be honest, I’m pretty proud but I’m also very critical about my own work.

[@DIY-356speedster]

Perfect timing... I'm installing 65 column on a replica Porsche speedster. Nice to see it one time before doing mine

[@VWJawbreaker]

That’s excellent timing!!

[@backyardkombi5466]

So mechanically solid.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Should be that is.

[@martinharris5017]

So that's where the Cranes go in our winter!

[@VWJawbreaker]

😂😂 They’re all over all year round down here.

[@martinharris5017]

@@VWJawbreaker I'm probably confusing Cranes with Herons! I don't think Cranes migrate TBH :)

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@martinharris5017 you know, you might be right.

She’s looking great!!!!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks man!

[@thebinderbuilder]

Very nice...love the detail...as a new bug builder, I learn alot from your videos.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I appreciate that but we all learn from one another as we all have different strengths. Can’t wait to see more progress on your build.

[@THEREEFREPORT]

Looking good she’s coming along pretty soon she’ll be slaying some asphalt

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks! Making more progress for sure!

[@zimms-world]

Lookin good. One step closer

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks buddy. Hope you’re doing well.

[@wickedwerks]

Finally getting to catch up on this series. Well done, man. So excited to see this going together. The attention to detail is incredible, keep it up!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Appreciate it dude! Funny thing is, it was bent to be a bare minimum build, rat rod style. So much for that 😂

[@wickedwerks]

@@VWJawbreaker I’ve been there! Just wanted to do pans and channels on my ‘64. Two max’ed out credit cards later…

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

little things that are done, is always a step closer driving this beauty. it will be a very nice build when done.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks buddy. Definitely trying my best on this one.

[@vwmountainman9701]

Good idea with the tack welds on the flex joint. I had to put tack welds on both ends on my setup. I was actually thinking of taking my frt extension off to go Baja. But Im really diggin the look u have on urs. Very nice work !!!! My car is do for a rebuild again - afew things I didn't do 1st go around. Plus going to go Baja now that I'm living in Arkansas !!!!!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir, I appreciate it. I figured the tack welds were just added security and safety. I think we could all rebuild our projects a few times as things change and what kit over time.

[@dubworldvwadventures]

Nice!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank ya!

[@vayabroder729]

Killer! Looking awesome! I hope you have enough steering travel with that setup.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks man! Back when I mocked it all up, the steering was good throughout the suspension travel.

[@vayabroder729]

@@VWJawbreaker Fantastic!!! 👍💪

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@vayabroder729 fingers crossed it all tracks well on the first drive 😂

[@Demopgarage]

Must be getting warm over there mate, I see bare feet :) We are freezing down here (lol) Looks like a good solid steering job :)

[@VWJawbreaker]

Warm? It’s been like an oven over here and it’s not even summer yet 😂 Stay warm buddy and keep up the great work 🤙

[@mikehammer4546]

[@stuartlewis9482]

Can you share more about the “volks” switch?

[@VWJawbreaker]

Absolutely, more to come in a few videos when I wore the car.

[@KWhite75]

Are you planning on reinstalling the wiper motor?

[@VWJawbreaker]

Absolutely, when the time comes.
