look at this guy using terms like hypotenuse, there is a math teacher out there rejoicing
Are you a math teacher? Are you rejoicing? That's funny
the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the two sides.
Welcome to basic suspension geometry... lol
There is a english teacher out there in tears when she sees/hears the word...FITMENT!
I wish I was high on potnuse.
This guy has an amazing vision and work ethic, what a build
Waow, you are really awesome fabricater. So easy to understand your work.
When are you going to race it? And where?
Essentially it's a home made car with a VW body attached to it. I can't believe how rust free the body is!
I like to insure my 66 vw, Will you be using it for deliveries, has there been any modifications done to it
Mine wasn’t that rust free 25 years ago. This one’s a gem.
It makes me feel old that these guys had never seen one of these cars before. I took my Drivers Test in a 68 Type 3 in 1971. It was an automatic version, same colour as this one, and it stalled twice during the test but I still managed to pass. This build looks awesome and I really appreciate the body style being kept alive.
Never heard or seen one before this.
I'm a teenager and it made me feel old that none of these guys had seen one. I've never even been in an air cooled VW but I know what a type 3 is!
I know what you mean. Drove a 68 Type 3 in high school in the 80s. Same Brick Red color as this one. But not surprised these guys have never seen them before. Type 3s fell apart just looking at 'em. By the 90s there really weren't any left on the road.
I don't remember ever seeing one of these growing up, but I knew they existed and have seen pictures of them.
Takes epic skills to stall an auto. Respect is due! 😁
Nice! I’ve always wanted to do this with a VW Squareback or Fastback. Just rip all the Volkswagen out and put a full frame with a V8 in it!
This thing is going to rip! A full flip front with the wiper cowl included would alleviate a lot of clearance issues right up to the windshield. Looking forward to the full build series.
👍Great idea!
as in: rear bumper hinge, full front flip...
Do a full Triple hinge with hydros ALA Project Binky + funny car
OH MY GOD! I OWNED THAT CAR!
I bought it from the original owner from the St. Thomas way. Brought it back to Chatham 11 years ago. I can't believe the rope is still on the front bumper and the tuck tape on the front windshield.
I would love to come and see it!
That’s wild man, I knew some history on it, but not much
VW square back is a car l always thought would be pretty cool to hop up. My parents had one back in the 70's.
Although the route l would have gone would be a turbo charged Subaru engine rear or mid mounted !
Love it, Something original that you don't see everyday.
Air cooled vws are near and dear to me so the older I get the more original I like to see them. That being said your projects have been pretty cool and I guess the world can spare one square back for deboss garage 😊
😂😂 I feel the same way. Its just a squareback! Lol. Ive owned so many ACVW's over the years. Were not gonna miss this SB 😅
I learned to drive in a 62 beetle. First car was an early 60's squareback.
@@patrickvanhoesen9425 Squarebacks and especially notches were highly sought after during the vw craze of the 80s
@@ShaunHensley I’ll take a notch back any day 😊
No they can't. I'm tamping mad!!!! Fricking butchers!!!
Very cool build. I enjoy these builds. Hard to find these days. Old compact cars made into V8 monsters. I built a few over the years. Building another one now. Ls powered 78 K30 Toyota. Much the same style of build as that. One thing I see is front track width is outside the fenders. Going be interesting to see how he over comes that. I narrowed the mustang II setup 4 inch to fit in the stock fenders. Keep the videos coming. Love the build.
Really enjoyed the video. Can't wait to see it run. I had a 1969 Squareback "Guam Bomb" from '77 to '79 while stationed there in the Navy. It was 1600 with dual carbs and I was contemplating shipping it back stateside, but it stayed behind for another sailor to enjoy.
So much work has gotten done , any one that has done any of this know that it's so much easier said than done. Thanks Brent. Central California watching
That frame table is great - and to see you nudging the engine around - really helps get it all set/positioned. Great video (so far)
Blokes in sheds with a vision can build anything, some really unique setting out ideas in this video.
Excellent. 👍
such an awesome build and video. this was a pleasure. the videography was very good too and he is great on camera. prime editing as always, making a 40 minute video seem not long enough. cheers
This is pure art and fun to watch.
This is super cool! About the time I felt like I should start a new project you brought us back to reality with the reminder that we just watched months of work in 30 minutes.
What a great build...owned a 67 back in high school. Would love a sleeper like that!!!
This video just popped up on my feed. What is funny about this video is, for over 20 years I talked about putting a turbo charged engine in the front of a square back. But I never pulled the trigger on it.
Instead, I bought an N/A 2JZ engine, added a turbo to it. And put that into my 74 Datsun 260Z. 😎😎😎
My first car was a Type 3 fastback. I used to dream about doing this in high school! Instead of learning French I was doodling what I thought the chassis should look like so I could install a big block Chevy. Of course the only modification I could afford was headers and coil over shocks in the rear, which didn't help handling at all.
I was happy with the twin carb 1.6 sport in my 68. Cant Imagine how much fun this will be to drive with that massive lump in it.
I wanted to do this with my fastback. Too many projects right now! Very cool!!
That thing is gonna be a ripper. One things for sure, it’s one of a kind. Can’t wait to see it done
Can’t believe that tuck tape on the windsheild is still holding. Been on there for about 8 years!
Chev, Ford, Volkswagen, Franken-Rod....This is without a doubt...the most ridiculous, out-to-lunch, What-The-Hell_Were-You-Thinking project that anyone has ever ventured to take on.......
And I FrEaKiN Love it!!!!
Back in the early 90's a local guy had one with a chevy small block in the rear with a v-drive going to a 9". He helped me do a similar setup on a chevy s10 using a big block. The truck is long gone but last i heard the vw was still around sitting in storage.
Fantastic idea for a project car build!
I really dig weird stuff like this, especially 'cause it's fast.
Used to see these all the time back in the 70’s and 80’s. Can’t remember the last time I saw one.
I love what you did and I hate that you did it.
I'm one of the really old dudes who worked on those when they were new. It's a pretty rare car and it could have been restored. I would love too!
BUT... Let's face it, us old guys who wish we could save everything, would have drug that thing home with great hopes and dreams while it sits outside and returns to the earth.
Thank you for that
I had a baby blue '67 in 1974. Fabulous rig.
I remember seeing those VW's everywhere when I was a kid.
I had a 72’ Squareback, this makes me want that one back!
What a great project. When I saw the title and the video length I hesitated because I thought it would be 40mins of poking at rust, but then you start building a full chassis with Mustang II front and nine-inch and I was like wow. Nice! Great Video.
This is baddass!! When I was a kid and first got into cars and VW's specifically, I always thought a Squareback with a V8 upfront and tuber rear would be cool. Glad to see it being done. Gonna live vicariously through you lol. Subscribed!!
VW type 3 and Audi Fox only 2 door wagons I've never seen. What a rare find.
My parents had one of those when my older brother was an infant, it was very unreliable and finally broke down in the middle of a road trip so my parents sold it to an auto wrecker. That wouldn’t be my choice of cars to build but mad respect for the amazing chassis build and how the project is coming together overall.
The best builds start with “Why not?”
Verbalizing issues with other experts is critical to any complex project 👍
What the hell. This dude is insane and a master craftsman. Some advise. If you look at traditional VW square back race cars the front end usually flips up as one piece with fenders attached. So that might solve your clearance and access issues. It would flip forward. Then again those are fiberglass bodies. Also you could go higher in the rear for ride height since the rear tires are so huge. Since it’s a hot rod a rake look is cool. Also it would just be a body raise not the actual suspension.
I'm 5 minutes in and I love the energy.
I owned a '64 VW Squareback Varient S, dual carbs, from '64-'69. Great little car.
I've owned two Type 3 Squarebacks in my life. This right here is my dream build. I've ALWAYS wanted to make a killer sleeper out of a '67 Squareback.
The project we didnt know we needed. Love it!
Love the way he envisioned this & especially the way he executed this design!!!
The time lapse sure made that look easy! And fast! Can’t wait too see if it will wheelie
Yeah, I'd definitely do it. I had a 66 fastback that I built a full chassis in and a big block almost 30 years ago
I bought 5 of them from an estate in Coweta oklahoma. Bout 7 yrs ago. Made sure they went to good home
Man every time I watch a deboss video I'm excited to see the awesome projects and excellent filmmaking. But then I get bummed out because my project is 3000 miles away from where I currently live and work and I can't put the time in to work on it
An excuse.
Is an excuse.
Is an excuse.
Hmmmm, 🤤 The Wolfsburg emblem on the steering wheel. Sweet project and I’ll check out the website! Thanks to you, your family and your crew.
Always satisfying seeing a car build go from imagination to reality. I love seeing how its all done.
Few things me happier than a bunch of Canadians using imperial measurements to build things. I don’t know why, but it’s like you can espouse the virtues of the metric system all you want, but inches, feet and horsepower will always reign supreme in the gearhead world.
We're stuck using both.
I wonder what carpentry measurements they use in Europe?
Great little hot rod ! So glad when you introduced the tire and wheel package ! A couple of groves in the rears and your off running down the main street !
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻.
Saw a similar year flat back for sale on Hwy - 8, across from the " Brick " in K. W. The car lot was displaying it outside? It looked NEW, a fresh build? It was a cream colour. Show worthy! Pretty rare wagon.
Love the look that your going for. A great sleeper? It will make big noise right away!
I don't mean the exhaust note.
A bolt on cowl is a great option ! Good luck, can't wait to see and hear this little beast take flight !
Thanks guys!
✌🏻👍🏻🤘🇨🇦, 🍁 Ontario.
Dude your building skills are SUPER Impressive and this episode was a Pleasure to watch...cant hardly wait for the next one!! 👍
The parts you procrastinate most over are the ones that usually take the least time, such a true statement
Mucho work, Mucho Cool. Can't wait to see the completed build. th' "Vee-Weapon"
This is and will be an awesome build. Great imagination and foresight. Can’t wait to this car come together. Nice!
Why not! What a fun project!
That thing is going to fly considering back in the day I had a 55 bug with a 150hp 2110cc engine in her, and you're going 650hp!! She's going be a vw squareback rocket! Nice!!
Man, much as I love a Squareback with air-cooled in it - I'm into this.
Definitely a different type of build in terms of choice in platform for sure. You don't see these Variants really ever here in the states. That chassis came together FAST. That thing is gonna be rowdy with that built/ blown drivetrain all hard-mounted with all spherical heim joints/ such a short driveline. Awesome. So glad you kept it a manual, even though its a straight line car. Everything i drive has three pedals, regardless that a DCT type trans is obviously faster, the manual is so much more fun to drive, IMO. I agree totally on sectioning the body off around the A-pillar/ firewall area. It'll make your body removal for servicing/ passthroughs for your cage- shock tower almost necessary anyways once the blower, cooling package and all the accessories are bolted on. I would probably cut the body just below the cowl, that way everything from the firewall back can be totally removed. It'll make fitting up/ finish welding your cage extra simple. What bender are you going with?? Hopefully a decent mandrel type one. If you're doing chassis/ exhaust work, one of the best mandrel benders i have used here in the states is the Tube Shark. They're excellent TBH. This was over a decade ago, so there may be something more suitable up there, not sure. Thank you for sharing this, and ill be watching your cage build 👍😎
Picked up a JD2 Model 32, it’s going well 👌🏻
My first car was that same year and color ( faded red as it was 1980 ) It had an engine swap already with a 1969 dual carb motor.. I have wanted to find another one and to a Porche engine and suspension swap. This is so much more inventive! Looking forward to the build.
This is great, my first car was a red VW Type III wagon. Still miss that car, love what you are doing with this one!
Teardown is always the most fun bit.
I can't wait to see this car go down the track
My dad had one. Took it to the VW garage to have the gas heater fixed. Service told him to leave it going for a while. When he returned from shopping, police were there and they had opened the hood and ripped the wires off the heater as they thought the car was on fire. Heater never worked again! We froze as the air heaters were ineffective.
Odd story, as the eberspachers were under the seats.
@@ForeverNeverwhere1 Weird. Because in mine it sat crosswise under the hood.
❤
@@johnnyzander1466 maybe I am thinking of a type 4 then, which were under the front seats
@@ForeverNeverwhere1 Yes, you are absolutely right there =)
One of my all time favourite cars being an aircooled guy! Absolutely love this build; I'd love to have the skill and knowledge to do this....
Awesome sauce, can't wait to see it running.
Hervorragend, das wird ein harter VolksWagen. Volksie
CHECK OUT THAT FRAMING TABLE. EXCELLENT!
Tilt front and clip on fenders with Druze to secure it, gives you access and when was the last time you saw a tilt front end
Hiya! Watch you fellas all day. Good understanding between experienced engineers. Remember these variants in Africa in the day. Talk about “sleeper”? Goodness me. Looking forward to the finished product. Thanks.
That is going to be such a cool build. The car is super cute and happy and then it'll have enough power to make you lose your shit.
Love this build, want to see the whole thing!
I cannot wait to see this build come full circle
Wow half a season of project Binky in one episode.
This is a WILD build!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
I had a squareback, but it wasn't called a Variant. I built a manifold to connect to the fuel injection intake and put a 2 bbl carb on it off a Chevy Vega, and that combined with headers, made it run rather well for a 1600 VW
Im an air-cooled VW freak and for the most part a ACVW purist. However, 😂, ive never been a fan of the type 3 and 4 wagons. Variants or Squarebacks. At least now the thing is back on the road and technically still a VW
You guys are having way too much fun 🎉
Its a great life
Awesomely done guy's. Thanks for sharing.
my dad had a 661500 l variant here in sweden.. 1500 singel carb.. miss the car.. but this is great !!!
This is gonna be a scary FUN little car.. I've gotta see this build to the end 😎👍
Nice progress, cannot wait until the next update.
That’s a KILLER KOOL Build Looks Awesome so far Can’t wait for the next video
Wow Rich, this is going to be one very light and fast 2 door Lil VW wagon!!! Looks like a very fun toy. Every time I look at the rear of the car it reminds me with the rear gills (vents) of a corvair such a cool detail! Keep up with all the great work you and the boys!
sickkkkk, happy to see this series. I have a 66 notchback with a 2.0TSI/DSG swapped on a tube chassis
Sweet I'm an old retired truck driver I watched all of the restoration on the kw awesome looking truck but when I saw this video I'm like cool what the heck are you up to can't wait for more footage. Keep the rust off your tools bro 👍 👌 👍
Oh wow! That's going to be my dream car when it's done! Very very, cool!
Brad and yourself have the same dream!
@@DEBOSSGARAGE I didn't even know that Squarebacks existed until the movie The Stoned Age came out. It became my goal to get one after seeing that movie. I almost had one, but I felt it was too much of a project to take on at the time. If I wouldn't have been so young at the time, I would have just bought it and stored it until I could get to it. Live and learn! Good luck on the project! I'd love to know how well a Squareback performs with that much power!
Love how much of the build of the frame has been completed… looking forward to your next video to see how far that one takes us through the journey
I've always loved the "outside the norm" types of cars and dreamed of building them into a sleeper hotrod.
I remember when I was a kid an uncle had one of these type3 variants in the fastback model and even at 8,9 or 10 dreaming about it with a small block V8 and wide tires on the back.
Well there you go you can be the Canada family of Street outlaws
Looking forward to this! Awesome project.
Great build! Nice to see something original.
I had one of those in 1978
Cool little car
its hardly a sleeper with 12" wide tires in the back. But I love it ! Cant wait to see the next episode(s)!
+1
tucked and hidden enough for most to not notice, the again the giant bold lettering on the side of both tire and rim is a bad giveaway. lol, sleeper it out.
Won't sound like a sleeper either.
22:53 was worth the price of admission.
Yep my parents had one when I was little it was green.
Bad ass! I would love to have the time to do something like this with my bug
Such an awesome build! Can't wait to see this progress
