Dude, your bread pan rain covers just won the internet. Completely amazing, love the channel.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s thought of it but thanks!

[@2GuysandaBug]

Thanks for the update, it all looks amazing. Can't wait to see the roof-rack.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir. It’ll probably be a while before I get started on the roof rack.

[@larrymcgarage2152]

Love the bread pans. Greatest idea ever.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I’m sure I’m not the first to come up with that idea but it works.

[@TheJorgSacul]

Show footage is always cool, I'd say go for it. Up here in snow belt country, shows are done for the year and seeing cars is like a dose of vitamin D, warding off the seasonal sunless depression!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks for the input! It’s finally cooling down enough here to stay having some good get togethers.

[@Slick56]

I like field trips to the shows and vendors and road trips. I like to see what inspires you and your friend's builds. I enjoy all the build stuff . I like the parts bin / swap meet find type motor and maintenance work. Doing the stuff that keeps these cars on the road.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I appreciate you as always sir and thank you for the feedback!

[@briancole7935]

All the little details are really making it come together! Nice touches to an already great build.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks man I appreciate that!

[@eduardorodriguez3262]

If you didn't point out those were loaf pans.... I think no one would've guessed. Yeah I vote for some car show footage, it's always fun to see what other people are doing to their rides. So keep them coming and we will be here behind you 100% So BGood👍🇩🇪

[@VWJawbreaker]

Good point, no one would have known if I would have kept my mouth shut 😂 Have a large show this weekend, Hopefully my camera will record.

[@mikemoreno2444]

what a great car.....looks really cool.... like the non-uniformity of it... you are a true master

[@VWJawbreaker]

I appreciate that sir!

[@MikeMoose67]

Yes sir sure we would like to watch some car show footage..Can’t wait to watch you build the roof rack. That will be interesting. And the bread pan the headliner and the phone station. Those things are absolutely genius. I love this car dude.!!!!!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks man, it’s coming together nicely imo. Trying different things to stand out and be what I want without spending tons of money.

[@robertosantinni9656]

VERY INNOVATIVE CARB COVERS. 👍

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank but I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s thought it this 🤙

[@annies_vw]

dang Gary, I love all these details that have gone into The Sickxty. Everything is so perfect on it. Nice work. Bread pans are the best though. hahaha

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks Annie! Loads of little things that set this apart from other cars.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

The bread pan air filter covers are a great idea.👍

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir.

Oh and film the shows as well Gary, just to show what us limeys are missing out on

[@VWJawbreaker]

I’ll do my best, if the camera will cooperate.

[@markamodeo5934]

Nice job on the bread pans. And when its not raining you can use them to heat up your lunch at the upcoming car shows. Lol great work looking forward to see Jawbreaker again.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Haha, that’s a great point! Thanks and hope to start on jawbreaker after the first of the year.

[@V8N8T]

Thanks for another vid! The bread pan was a great idea, ima call them "JB's Rainshields" :) those lights are going to be bitchin! I've made 1 roof rack in my day and I based it of the factory accessory steel roof rack but made it go from the wing window to the top of the back window and it was tough! I hauled 3 complete motors up there once 💪🏻 I used 1/4 solid stock to fit the drip rails and 1/2 electrical conduit for the tubing

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks Nate! Although I can’t take credit for the pans, I wasn’t the first one to come up with that idea I later found out. Good info on your build, wasn’t sure if I should use 1/2” or 3/4” like the nerf bars are…. If 1/2” worked well enough for you then it should be wrong enough for what little I’ll do 😂 Appreciate it!!

[@deanrobinson3717]

Love them lights, they are going to be sooooo bright, the bread tins looks fab too

[@VWJawbreaker]

They should be bright enough for what I have in mind!

[@hummv8]

[@atomicmellon1712]

I might be in the minority but I honestly never watch car show coverage videos. There's always so much to see that cars don't seem to get good coverage and yet the videos seem to drag on as the person videoing tries to get as many cars included as possible. A video showing prep for the show, if you are driving there, a quick overview of the show and a personal opinion on if the show is worth hitting up next year, and maybe a couple spotlight features on cars that grab your attention would be the car show coverage that I'd like to see. The sickxty keeps getting better! I really like that VACP fire extinguisher mount! Slick!

[@VWJawbreaker]

We’re in the same boat. It’s difficult to properly showcase a large event and most of the time the videos seem boring. I’m toying with the idea of doing a pov show coverage, if I can get the camera to work.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

the car is looking amazing Gary and with the very nice updates it's coming all together. can't wait to see the roof rack and those light mounted on it.

Come to Texas and work your magic on my bug

[@VWJawbreaker]

If you were closer, I’d give ya a hand…. But you got this dude.

[@thebinderbuilder]

As for show coverage, I do show coverage because it's part of the VW scene/lifestyle. I realize my 'show videos' have, in general, the low views, but its more than just views. It's a vacation from the normal and highlights good folks and their builds. It's how people, and especially *ME* get inspiration. People can choose to view the coverage or not, like my viewers do. But for me, it's all part of the build. Someday I hope to be able to make my show videos more of a detailed inspection of what people are doing and how they're doing it. So instead of a show video with tons of cars, short videos highlighting a particular build... to me that would be cool. Besides, where would we be without the community?

[@VWJawbreaker]

Those are some great points. I sure wish my camera didn’t fully die this weekend as I had a cool plan to cover one of the largest Florida VW shows…. Things happen though. Plenty more to come next year.

[@thebinderbuilder]

@@VWJawbreaker At least you brought your camera...the last two 'shows videos' I took with may cell phone.

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@thebinderbuilder wish I could use my phone to record and I don’t need an upgrade yet lol

[@martinharris5017]

I did a roofrack like you're describing! Its gone now but if I have pics in my file I'll send them to you. Kinda like the Vintage Speed teardrop profile but more heavy duty. Your breadpans are cool:)

[@VWJawbreaker]

Definitely shoot me the pics of you don’t mind, I’m open to reference ideas!

[@69bajaoutdoors]

Another great video sir! Do what you enjoy! Does it have to be VW related? I say go for it!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir!

[@hummv8]

I’m going to miss FloJam this year😢

[@VWJawbreaker]

That sucks, there’s always next year.

[@JonathanAdams-z8r]

Genius! Love the bread pan carb hats and xrsize mat headliner! Pure genius! Hook me up w/the mat source if you would…I’d like to copy! 😀 Agreed…”quite nice the way it turned out…” 👍👍 I do like some show footage. Thx

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks man! I can’t take credit for the pans though, I’m sure it’s been done before. I found the mat on Amazon, 1/2” thick exercise mat. It’s too thick to tuck in the gap of the roof though.

[@JonathanAdams-z8r]

Ahhh…hmmmm, ok and I have a roll cage in mine so would probably rub on that. Looks cool though! Think I’ll just mask off the roof section and shoot it w/the same bed liner you used. Thx J.@@VWJawbreaker

[@Slatersave]

@@Slatersave omg 😆 True but I’d hate to peel it off the ceiling!

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Hi Gary, kinda off topic but had to share what a new viewer from Cuba ask me. I've been doing a restore series on a 1947 Johnson 5hp TD-20 vintage outboard motor and he asked if it would work on one of their classic bicycles down there? I told him first if all there is no shift on these but direct drive. Once you start it it's moving. Another issue is it's water cooled so he would need a continuous water flow to cool the motor. Then modifying the gear drive to run the sprockets and chain. Probably could be done but allot of work. But a heck of allot cheaper than electric conversion. I've seen this on VW'S but cost allot of money to set up. Just putting this out there for opinions.

[@VWJawbreaker]

If he could find an older AirCooled outboard that might be an option with some sort of cv drive like what’s on go karts. Definitely a cool idea to mess around with.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

That's a good idea Gary, will pass it along

[@neildavies1963]

camper build!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Working hard to make that happen in the near future.

[@KWhite75]

Great job on The Sixty! Does this mean Jawbreaker is coming back next?

[@VWJawbreaker]

Hopefully the beginning of next year, budget permitting.

[@craig162]

Do you have a website that lists all the VW shows? I live in Saint Augustine and would like to go to some of them. Thanks. Craig.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I don’t have a list but there is a group on facebook, Florida VW shows and events that usually lists them

[@dennishollon9599]

The car looks great I think your going a little over board I don't like the Idea of a roof rack but that just me

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks man. I don’t want just any kind of roof rack, there’s a certain design that I think will look good but if it doesn’t turn out it won’t stay on the car.

[@campervanbug7658]

Can't you just adjust beam tension then adjust ride height by taking the front arms off and going to the next spline

[@VWJawbreaker]

Didn’t want to go that route for mirrors, wanted something different. There aren’t spines in the front beam of a beetle or bus otherwise that would work.
