good job,I've never done this before
Good video. Well done.
Got me in my feels. Love that year model hearse ( I have one I wrecked it tore the grill area up)
Fantastic job man! The beadrolling looks so good! Keep it up. Your metal work is great!
Callahan, is there something sacrificial that causes all the sparks in the intro?
Yeah the bottom of the frame has reinforced plates added that will be replaced as they wear down.
@@callahansgarage get some titanium blocks, the sparks are white.
Love this build! As a fellow lover of Vws and Hearses I applaud you sir!
I am Glad to see your project coming along so well. Wish I could say the same for mine. I am working to get mine into my shop so I can replace the frame head. Alabama is a little warm this time of year for some reason. Once I get it road worthy I intend to start on my fast back. I am looking forward to that but a little intimidated too. I have to fab up a trunk floor (rear around engine ) I’m not a sheet metal guy but I have stayed at a holiday inn express before so I guess I’ll pretend to be for a while. Enjoy the videos thanks
Gangster hearse, yeah. Swizzle!
excellent video as usual, question do you know if those style door grab handles will work on a 1970 ?
I don’t recall what year swapped to the screw on style grab handles. If your car has the screw on style it would require modifications; if not you should be able to swap them out.
Thanks
appreciate your videos, great tips.
Very true
Sweet ride
We love all your videos working a VW beetle! You are great at explaining and showing what you are doing! We are learning so much and it will help us with our Beetle restoration
I recommend to have extras of roll pins. You will lose them especially the more times you get back into the door. Drill bits work in a pinch,cut to size.
So do Nails when cut to size.
Nice, nice, nice
Awesome video, @callahansgarage! Thanks for sharing the design. Have you ever thought of using hatchback gas struts to keep it from rotating or tipping too fast?
I never would have though if the “work-hardened” aspect of this. Thank you!

Always excellent content Callahan. You are a great teacher.
I love the way the Cadillac came out very beautiful Work. I have a 66 Cadillac are you interested in doing mine?
🙌🏾💯🙌🏾
I love the look!! Nice job
Hey man love your videos, i have a 1973 beetle and is the love of my life, could you do the front too? Thanks!!
I will have a narrowed adjustable beam and dropped spindle install video soon.
New subscriber. Bro, great video. I like what you ate don't with these cars.
LFG!!
what size are the wheels? look a little bigger than 13's
Can I Hire you to do my 59? Needs some a piller repair, pans, and heater channel. 🤓
Great information! Great presentation!
Dang lol took me 30 minutes last year 😳…. Thanks
Great video cheers
Just an observation concerning the notching of the spring plates…. If I did it I would then weld on a reinforcement plate below the notch if that’s a concern! Is there a clearance problem?
I stumbled on your channel after jumping into the VW world with both feet and probably head first. I bought a 74 standard beetle and a 71 fastback. Both are in fairly good shape the Bug needs a frame head and a few minor repairs. They both have been sitting for a 15yrs or more. I have started the Bug, it sounds good. I am picking up a good bit of knowledge watching your videos. Just wanted to say thanks for your time. I live in Alabama so I understand the heat and humidity you are dealing with
middle age dudes? wtf man???
Love that color. But the music sucks.
Very helpful. I want to be able to adjust my height (front and back) just a bit. And don't want to take it all apart to make a small change. Thanks for covering the basics and options rather than just what you are personally choosing. Keep up the great videos. I'll be there for each one.
I have those fender skirts from your first Bug in my garage right now. Nice bug!
Excellent news, love the beetle content. One thing I’d really like to understand in detail is how to set the rear torsion tubes e.g. inner / outer spline relationship if starting with everything out (or more likely if you pull it all out when trying to remove the spring plate)
I have a video on this coming out next week. If your torsions are already out and you do not have a marked starting point. It’s really just a matter of trial and error with a consistent angle finder to match up each side.
@@callahansgarage excellent, I have only done it on a bus once but have a beetle pan that I need to pull out the tubes to clean up and paint and was concerned I’d never get them back in the right place. So looking forward to that one!
Absolutely Beautiful.
That’s super dope 😊
Looking forward to seeing it on the road!
08:13 video starts here.
Can you do a door glass /vent window rubber install? I'm about to do that on my 63!!
I will definitely be doing this in the upcoming months
Are you planning to build the engine in this one
Nope stock 40hp
So that first Beetle, was that the bridge killer? Me, you and Eric went to the Meltdown in the state next door and you bottomed out on the over pass.
Yep same one
Will you be separating the body and pan for any reason in this project?
Yes it will need pans and other rust repair eventually
Love the chariot bumper sticker on the old beetle.
Came to the comments to say the same! What an unhinged band to see live.
I wish we could see it with the top up. Nice Job
I would love to see videos about all the motor maintenance that you’ll be doing
Question!! I have a 72 Super Beetle and I discovered that some of the fender weld nuts must be bad because there are some self tappers holding the fenders on. Can new weld nuts be tack welded in and not ruin the paint, which is fine! (Orange!) or I was thinking I could epoxy the new ones in place good enough to get the bolts in!?
There will be one soon
Hey man your videos are amazing, I got a 1970. I watched your video before I removed my motor and made my own video, tagged you for credit in the bio!
Love your videos. This is the perfect project.
