2:05 Yeah, I noticed that immediately and thought it looked factory. Excellent job... looks about 3/8 maybe? How much overlap is there on the backside? Looking forward to more updates, cheers.
Thanks for actually watching my video! I’m not sure what overlap you’re asking for but the section I cut out and pushed back is fully welded seams with no laps. But from the inside of the trunk you can’t see that because hidden with the gas tank.
@@smithsgarage273 cheers, yeh they look perfect on yours, mines a 56 but still in bare metal you can check it out on my channel play list 😉🤙🏽 hopefully back on it very soon
I love that you did this work instead of buying a narrowed beam. The inset in the body work is a nice touch! Nice work!
Thank you! Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I find attention to detail very important in my builds. Thanks for watching :)
Good stuff! Your dad is a great help in the build
Thank you! This project was a great father son bonding project and he helped so much.
Keep going with the vids !!!!! So happy I came across your page early on! Keep on buggin baby!
Thank you! I’m trying my best to be consistent, I’m aiming for a video a week at least.

@@smithsgarage273 Ah, I see. It's the original material moved back. I thought you put some plate behind the cutout. Very nicely done.
Greta work mate, what size are your rear tyres? I'm building a bug very soon with 8" rear rims.
Thanks man! That’s pretty sweet I love the 8” wides, what year is yours? My tires are a Michelin continental 205/50 ZR15’s

26 subs? Damn, I'm early.
I have a very rare bug. All original. Showroom condition. Stock 40 hp. Perfect. Draws a lot of attention because it is not modified!
What year is it? That’s pretty cool, I like original stuff too but I wanted to save this bug from the state it was in, and just have some fun with it.
