Picture in your mind, four high schoolers buying these for less than a grand a piece, some drivable, some trailered home. Spending a few thousand hard earned dollars to strip them down, fix rust and such, and seal and paint. Slap in parts for running gear and suspension, and budgeted interiors. Then, drive and enjoy them for a couple years. Sold them to folks in Japan for over $10k or more each. Miss those days and the cars.
Great Oval can’t wait to see it painted. Nice to have seen you at Featherly! Even though I broke down before I even got there. 58 Dove Blue Single Cab. With Helite 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hi Mike, great content again, the bodywork comes very nicely along, as always great metalwork, looking forwards to the next EP🇺🇸👍🏻.🙏🏻☮🇳🇴🇳🇱Greetings.Hubertus
G'day Mike, It's a lot of work doing a bug. You can end up using a lot of paint. I sprayed out almost 10ltr on my 63 bug. I'm starting my split window kombi soon and I'm actually looking forward to the extra space to work. So thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
Hi Mike, it's been a while since I've popped in to see what you're up to. It's coming along really nice. looking forward to seeing the final topcoat on it.
This is going to turn out absolutely beautiful, Mike! You and CT and those pesky window channels, eh? 🤣😂 Hope you get to put in an Okrasa or Okrasa inspired 36hp style powerplant in.
Mike i have a ghia you should buy off me it's a really cool custom removable hard top i don't really have time to do hit me up and I will give you a great deal on solid project car that you could get a bunch of content on

Yep, probably bought the parts out of the JC Whitney catalog too.
@@corydriver7634 actually bought the parts from local shops, Kohlweiss, Bug Formance, Donsco, and Peninsula Automotive.

I sprayed raptor liner under my hood and it worked out great and saved a ton of time
Also sprayed it inside in a couple places

Looking good mike! What grits are you using? Nice patch on the window. That look tough welding upside down.
I start with 40 then I finished with 80 I think on the grinding. Then I used 80 on the filler and a little bit of 150 at the end
Can’t wait to see this bug when it’s completed. Really turning out nice. The primer can “STEAL” or plastic 😂
This is going to turn out absolutely beautiful, Mike!
