When you did get it running, almost sounded like the fan was noisy - perhaps the nut was loose or the fan was scraping against the sheetmetal. Also at full suspension droop, the muffler was up against the RR brake caliper.

Hey George! Chad T here. You shortened my 69 chassis for a Berry Mini T in 2016 and I'm finally getting around to building it! Quick question. How did you cover the differential for the tamale when you put it in the "dishwasher" at 29 minutes in? Looks like you used orange duct tape? Any pointers here would be great! Thanks man.

Great work as always !

Definitely like to get a skid plate for my 67 bug just incase..

Excellent.

Great video here. So much good information here. Well-presented and easy to understand.

I use a smaller diameter Porsche 356 generator pulley in my alternator to get more fan speed and help with cooling (fan is welded and balanced, of course). The crank pulley is a Gene Berg Achiever. I need to check which number size I have.

Great clip....When I get them in hit like that it's a do over and then on to the alinement rack ...

Another well-made, concise video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

First time seeing, one of those skid plates.👍

So dont do things like your brother make it run and drive it lol

Love my pandraggers parts skid plate and drop plates

Thanks for sharing, alot of good info. Can't you make a skid plate similar like the type 1 skid plate ??

I don’t think that skid plate is going to stay that nice for a long time on that sideways bug.

Did you end up raising the rear end?

Nicely done👍

Good to see the “sideways bug” getting straightened up again.

Hi George

I always wanted to see this process in detail. Thanks for sharing.

Nice test drive! Very interesting to see the fabrication needed to make it all fit.

What is the orange insulation around the oil line?

Really great, top notch work!

I had my Bug almost a year. I like to go dual carbs, but I like to know is it worth doing does it make the engine run better or save gas? I see people do it. I’m just curious cause I would like to do it. I have a 1641 engine I was looking at you, Solex carbs, is it worth getting?

The Ross Wulf parts look amazing as well. I wish they had a 356 sized alternator pulley setup. I use those to get a higher fan speed and aid in cooling.

Gene Berg has the best parts. Hands down.

You have just sold me a Berg linkage.

Useful tip that has worked for me for close to 20 years. Use lip balm on the manifold gaskets. It helps them seal better and also not get stuck to heads and manifolds when replacement is needed. Love the parts from Gene Berg too; as he used to say “cry only once” because you’ll only need to buy them once. They are that good.

Solid work as usual - lots of good procedure and information…don’t forget to mention direction of the cooling slot on the alternator breast plate…see to many pointing the wrong direction… ;-)

Great time to torque check heads lookingfor further problems along with leak down checks

WOW! Great work!!

Great in depth video! Glad I ran across this. Just the bracket I need for my optima battery in my bug! 👌🙌. Thanks for walking through the nutsert install as well as all the drill bit sizes. 👍

Speaking as a bone stock guy it’s really great to see just how much different a dual carb street motor is to build up and install. I hope to build a stoplight car someday. I learned a bunch. Thx!👍

I never have a problem finding original tin at VW swaps. With that said, I’m in So Cal and we have quite a few good swaps through out the year. Grab good stuff when ever you can find it. Unlike cases, good German tin can be used,fixed and used again and again. I’m always grabbing good stuff when I find it. Especially “Hoover” bits for dg coolers.

👍

I used to rebuild VW big engines back in the 60's and I found that the early 30 horse engine push rods had thin wood shafts inside. Not sure why but very interesting!

What’s your intake on swapping oil measurements (summer & winter?). Running 20/50 right now. Recently rebuilt engine. 100F/70F weather, what size do you recommend for then it gets colder? 40-60F, never lower than that! Should I keep 20/50? Or go lower, and if so, to what size? Thank you!

Have you had any requests to add air conditioning? Would love to see a video on that Thanks for sharing your work

Very detailed work, hats off to you

Nice information.

Nice information.

Nice information on the GB linkage.

👍

For cutting the gasket use bandsaw first then sander FYI HEHEHE. nice work it's so great to watch your videos.

What is your opinion on the reverse intake manifolds for better carb adjustments ? Awesome detail work !!

I know you are in a pretty constant climate, but why not install the stock thermostat and flaps? Lots of discussion on this topic, but I’m asking you. My Squareback engine doesn’t have anything but I’m going to add all the stock Type 3 pieces whenever I pull the engine.

Where do you source your spare terminal connectors? Tabs, spades, earths…

Great information.

Killer work as always!

Nice work as usual mate, where do you get those nut’s from? Great idea for serving

Another cracking video . Great details again. Well done
