Step by step procedure for removing the heater channels on your Volkswagen Beetle. Demonstrated on a 1965 Beetle, but process will be very similar for earlier and later cars.
Thanks for the detail and explanation. I am in the same boat RIGHT now. I have created seven new swear words and manufactured an entire rig that is made of zip ties, duct tape and old tshirts. No, really THANKs, great vid.
That use of the bottom plate and bolt on that like the heater channel . The front firewall. Etc. Is a tip I needed. I just bought a “previous” project where the bottom sections are already cut out. But with that tip I can confidently now start.
I must say -- you do make it look so easy --- Thank you for telling us what one may encounter in replacing them and how to go about doing this job ------- Rodney
Cally this is one of the best instruction vids on heater channel removal I've seen. I've done two myself and wish I had this instruction on the first one.
Hola amigo Calahan, saludos desde México, ese trabajo que realizas a este Vochito es tremendo, muchas gracias por compartir este conocimiento, tengo uno 1966 y ya compré pisos y largueros acá nadie sabe hacer este trabajo correctamente
Dude, thanks for this. Someday I gotta do all this but been putting it off for years because I didn't know how to go about it and my mig welding so far has been bad but slowly improving. Wonder how many half inch drills I am gonna break, probably gonna buy a whole box of them!
again, nice informative video but I have a question. When I started this I didn't think to brace the car and it's been sitting off body for about 10 yrs now. How do I get the body back aligned?
I discuss this briefly in the part 1 video. In short if you can get the doors back into alignment that will get you headed in the right direction. Use a porta-power, winch, brute force, whatever it takes to get the body back into shape then get your bracing in.
I really appreciate the in-depth coverage you provide, as well as things one might expect. This series is awesome!

One plus of the stale air heater boxes in the early VW's is like fogging oil..... rust prevention 🥴

Can I Hire you to do my 59? Needs some a piller repair, pans, and heater channel. 🤓
damn nooone explains it that good!
Nice

Sorry, I meant Callahan!
Amazing work! However, why is the headliner still in the car, while you are welding and grinding? Is it supposed to be replaced at a later point?
We’re do you buy your parts for your beetle?, I will appreciate if you let me know please, I’m restoring my beetle and it have some parts with rust
Too bad a dry ice blasting system is so expensive. Those wheel wells would be down to clean paint in 10 minutes each.
