- The full restoration of the forgotten 1959 Vw Beetle continues! I found this old car sitting in a garage back in 2019. It had been stashed away since 1994 waiting for a full restoration. Larry and I pulled this Volkswagen Beetle from it's soon to be grave, a crumbled garage and Larry brought it home. Follow along on the journey of the restoration videos as this car will be 100 % restored by Larry...(Edit and ME! haha)

great to see you do some hands on, both welding and dent poundings...you found a good instructor / take advantage...tanks for sharing
Thank you Tom, I’m here now taking advantage , finishing up the front fenders now
The teacher and his pupil . I like the way he explains how to do it and then steps away and lets you go . I hate having someone hover over me when I’m trying to do something. I love a teacher that puts confidence in his pupil . Love the video’s keep up the great work!
I agree, someone standing over you can make you nervous and then you make mistakes.
Nothing like the student having hands on with the teacher.The questions asked by student and the mistakes pointed out by the teacher answer a lot of questions that us amateurs out here have. Thanks for bringing us along.
I have been waaaay behind on my video watching. Glad I am catching up! This series is just awesome!
We thank you
Jason, so good to hear the excitement in your voice when you learn something and then turn around and do it well. As y'all said, you will have the confidence to work on your own and do very well with it. Larry, thank you for sharing the many years of experience and knowledge with Jason. You are awesome. Such a great teacher. Thank you for sharing this my friends. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
i am restoring my 1978 AM General DJ5 right hand drive postal jeep. I need to do some body work and I am picking up a TON of general body work tips from these videos. Thanks!
Great to hear , we thank you
'Did you turn it on?' Now you can see! To be fair if you are used to 'old school' shields then why would you know? If those LCD's get damaged it can be just as cheap to buy a new shield but I am told they are much better for welding than the 'old school' ones so a good thing to have Jason. Hammer and dolly is a good skill to learn. Once you have it it's like riding a bike, you never forget. The replenishing hammer is a good tool to have. I wish I had one when I did bodywork.The principle is similar to an 'English Wheel'. The difference is the English Wheel is putting a smooth curve into new metal. Think of this like lots of little men with tiny hammers getting that curve back in shape. Great video Jason it's so enjoyable to watch. Thank you.👍👍
Haha ! That was funny 😁. I’m here now hammering and dollying / welding the front fenders . Blessed to be here , and thank you for checking out the series .
Larry is a good teacher. Calm ,patient and still gives enough room for you to figure things out yourself. Great couple of episodes.
👍thank you for the comment and checking out the vid
This is the kind of stuff I need to learn! Minimal-to-no body-filler is where it's at!
Need to remember that air-powered planishing-hammer, too. Want to build one some day!
The planishing hammer is excellent. That will be my next welding project!
that was crazy how that came out
This sounds be a show in its own right , he knows his stuff
Thank you DM, the 59 is almost ready for media blast , here now finishing the front fenders .
GREAT WATCHING A TRUE PERFECTIONEST: NOW YOU ARE IN WELDING 101/AUTO BODY WORKS.I LEARNED THIS TRADE BACK IN THE 1970s AND WISH I WAS NOT TOO OLD TO DO IT AGAIN...KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK...RON A 75-YEAR-OLD MAN..
That guy is a great teacher
Yes he is 😁
He's an amazing teacher, he looks younger than me but he is knowledgeable. I've not seen a replenishing hammer at work like this, what a great tool to have for a restoration shop. Keep it up Jason, you are learning a ton from him.
Your devotion to the v-dub cause is inspiring, it's also effing insane, next level commitment to absolute basket cases has you bordering on sainthood status.
Excited to see more!
These lessons are great.
Thank you Ken
Man I dig all your vids, but this series is really a lot of fun and very inspiring. Thanks fer takin us along....
thank you 672, getting to work with Larry has been such a blessing man🙏
Great video. Learning a lot on repairing a fender. A lot very good instruction and information.
Thank you , I’m here now on lunch shaping metal and learning 👍👍
Larry has the patience of a saint………..only kidding, love to see!
haha, he has no problem turning me loose and quite frankly it scares the bleep out of me haha....I have gotta a little better :)
After this episode of "This Old Bug", I've decided I want to be Larry when I grow up.
Simply outstanding! Love watching Larry's experience shine. He makes it look so easy! He also shows how it takes time to get it right on. Really good stuff Jason! The series just keeps getting better, great work man!
Larry is a great teacher, very patient and of course a good pupil 😀
He sure is , Thank youJohn
Cool Thanks !
Thank you Dan
Larry needs his own channel. You should help him get it started. Larry could help a lot of TH-cam VW guys learn some things.
we have talked about it....but I don't think many realize how many hours go into recording, editing, and uploading a mere 10-20 minute vid. It can be a 6-8 work alone , and that is hours that could used toward a restoration.
@@5150mxVW yeah I get it. I’m in the collision/restoration business. Larry does a great job at showing and explains things.
@@5150mxVW we’re did Larry get the fender bolt panel from? The new replacement part.
@@robertlambert5299 do you mean the new inner left fender ? I got it with the car when I found it in 2019. The previous owner had sourced it for the restoration he had planned.
@@5150mxVW no the strip with the bolt holes in it for the fender. That he using for replacing the rusty sections.
Everyday a school day Jason . Larry awesome teaching us all and giving us his time. Good work Jason 👍
AWESOME job, guys!!!
We thank you
Great job allowing us to watch such a talented metal craftsman in action. Super informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent teaching!
Yes 👍 . Thank you
i appreciate your work, mx! teaching us all the ins and outs of owning and fixing cars that virtually everyone loves!
Very helpful! Fenders on my '66 look similar.
Hey, congrats --- I see you've got a new side hustle!! That "punishing hammer" is impressive!
Thank you , it sure is
Man great job on that fender! Is looking great and forward to seeing more updates!👌😎👍
Thank you , you should see them now . I can’t believe he fixed them
Some various shapes of brass are handy when doing the tin work. Use them as a heat sink when welding
, held on the opposite side of the weld
Yes , I did use a brass plate on a stick :) on the front fenders
nice job.
We thank you Jim
This is fantastic, would love to have my own Larry 👏👏
he's all mine lol
Nice going Grasshopper
:)
Your doing great J,,, Larry is teaching you well. You should have done a close up of the punch holes I wasn't sure as to which holes you were talking about
Once again another stellar video with Larry!!
Super cool!
we thank you
Claw hammer and a block of wood works just fine
Are you building a house 🤣
So that’s where CT got it from using a law hammer. Lol
@@johndavid8363 and look how much bigger it is too....My place is way too small. His is 3 times the size of mine. I cant do what he does. I really dont think you know what the issues are. It is what it is. I cant even put shelves up like that there is not enough space.
Larry is a real pro metal man, thanks for this content and please continue with this restoration.
👍... i think media blast is next, primer body and do the finish metal work on body ....then onto the chassis and engine
Great detail, really shows you what you're up against trying to save one of these old wrecks.
We thank you
Thanks for this. Learning too ... the blind welder scenario had me howling !
Thanks you …haha !!!
So cool to see you having a go and learning new skills. Larry, great work as always. Really enjoying the build series. Thank you guys.
=)
thank you 5350, I can't tell you how appreciative and stoked I am to be working with Larry. We thank you
Jason - you really hit your stride welding after you could see!! 😄😄😄
Haha, it is a little easier seeing . I’m here now with Larry finishing the front fenders . Gotta get this 59 to the dust off ✊
You have a great instructor! Now you will be able to do you're own job on the Toyota pickup you got!
Wax on, wax off Rad Dude!!! Hell yeah!!
than you Chris
Way to go Jason. Great content and I’m learning a lot from you guys! I’ve been fallowing CTs 65 build and you and Larry. I’m ready to give it a go myself soon. Thanks!
That’s great to hear . Get after yours , you can do it 👍
Those with the skills make it look easy, then there is the rest of us.
Haha 👍
lol Larry actually gets his projects completed, take notes 😉
haha, completed ? you mean showroom !
Larry the legend 🇬🇧
😁
Pero oras cada quien colega lo ase a su manera mil disculpas no menos presio su trabajo que dios los vendiga y la pasen vien feliz año nuevo
👍
Thanks SR
@@5150mxVW thank you for content
Your car or his ? If his I would give you so old beat up fenders to practice on oh grasshopper ! Those fender's that year really super hard to find , Those welding hoods have batteries in them and timer setting to go dark and ya on and off switch number two lesson ! Thank you
It’s his , and was a little nerve racking when I first started as I didn’t want to mess it up . But he’s let me do quite a bit of work to it . It’s going well too so far 😁
Larry - what a lovely guy.
That dent work was so good! That machine for the fine tuning, wow! Who are these idiots that use filler, ugh!
Hi Deb, man that blew my mind the before and after ....
Muchos iris para una salpicadura yo me arreglo las 4 salp del vocho en un día y al método antiguo saco los golpes y detallo con lima
A lot of patience
👍
8:13 😆
Could those punch holes have been for mounting a gas generator heater?
that is what I was thinking too but punched ?
Where did Larry get the fender bolt panel from? 2:56
Not just VW metal wants to go back to the original stamping
No way
?
🤔 hummmm
chatos...
Take a hike, chico...
