    I was a soldier stationed in West Germany (late 1980s when the wall was still up); a buddy of mine owned a German Super Beetle with a Porsche 911 motor and a whale tail spoiler with a ground effects body kit installed. Darn thing was an autobahn screamer! It was nicely put together because the vehicle inspections were so tough, it had to conform to German vehicle laws to be allowed on the road. The bug was shot in Porsche blue. I can appreciate what you are trying to achieve here. Good Luck!

    Dude I'm proud of you for working so hard and staying stead fast on this project. Most people would have gave up by now. It looks sick and I can't wait to see it rippin on the dyno. Keep your faith and God will bless you.

    @InClaymont 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can't wait to see the bug ripping! I have always loved those cars since I was a little kid. I am from Los Angeles so there were quite a few of them that were hooked up as lowriders and beach buggies and some built for the desert. They have always found really cool ways of making them unique.

    I know I keep saying it, but every video gets me a bit more stoked to see the end result. The best part is how it keeps shifting as it goes. The way the front turned out is so original, and the back looks way more badass than I had envisioned. This project is "The Usual Suspects" of TH-cam. Keep up the great work.

  • @nakedbandit

    My daughter and I were boppin' to the tunes in this one. It was great to hear the classic Garage Idiots and Built tunes mashed together with some pump. Nice work on the Bug and the editing.

    only have one thing to say this is why I like this channel it's real I like that you don't hide anything that's how things are in real life for real people keep on keeping it real👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    The So Cal is perfect. Just as I pictured. Sweet you nailed the look.

  • @thegussam
    @thegussam 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It looks awesome. Love that you are not trying to hide all the fabrication behind cover panels and instead incorporate it into the final design.
    Regarding the trailer: One option could be to buy a run down caravan trailer and take the top of.. you get a good base with brakes and registration.
    It's a common way of going it cheap in Sweden where I live.

    • @justaguynamedmax8207
      @justaguynamedmax8207 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would like to. I dont have access to any of my cards right now though nor can I work. I was shot and my clothes, with my wallet inside, are still being held by the police as evidence. So as soon as I get that back I do plan on buying some merchandise. I been watching this channel since the beginning of the bug build. Preston is the hardest working guy on TH-cam and I agree with you, he is by far the most under rated car channel on the tube.

  • @chrisbeverly7266
    @chrisbeverly7266 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really think you are making the right call on this one. Yes you want a good looking car but you was never building a show car, it's a race car and that's what I would like to see. You are still going to have a very cool car. It's starting to look alot better already. Great job keep up the great work. 👍🏻

    • @chefgiovanni
      @chefgiovanni หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dude put a tone of work into that BUG. So many layers of paint and imperfections on that body.
      IN the 70's we had a 60's VW turned it into a Baja bug to race the florida beaches (pre tourist florida).

    It's crazy what a difference it makes having a car in one solid colour. Just like with mine I know you'll be excited to have it painted and running because that's when the fun of driving comes.

    @wjpreslar 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You need to release some shirts with "Janky" on them (without the quotes). In this case, Janky is a compliment because the Jank is why we keep watching.
    Honestly, the reason I love this channel so much is because you show that the motorsports playground is accessible to almost everyone and not just a rich guy or girl's realm.

  • @arthursmith5409

    Even at this stage, it looks good in one color. Keep it up!

  • @MrLarsgren
    @MrLarsgren 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    you can get a grey spray filler that puff up and fill the sanding patterns and the eggs "those round spots you sanded tru" easy to sand and give a good canvas for a smooth look.
    add 1 drop of black to a thin finish layer and you have a tracer to sand after like when using graphite dust.
    good for rough projects where you used agressive sandpaper.
    dont remember the name since its 10 years since i worked with it.

    Ok this was awesome. While it's difficult to offer you much from here in Australia, I did just join your Patreon to offer what little help I can. I'm actually nearly two years in to trying to build and develope a semi national Company & it's Effing hard work in these crazy times. We took that project on a month before the world went crazy so while it may not be much of a donation I hope it helps at least a little bit. Cheers from Down Under & keep at it.

    @gigamut11b86 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Like you said, It's not a show car...lol. I would worry more about function instead of form. About the paint, use that rhino/raptor bed liner stuff...that will hide a lot of the bad spots...lol. It sucks that money is so tight for you...wish I could help, other then just watching your vid's...money is super tight for me too. I'll keep on watching & I'll keep you in my prayers too. That sunset video bit was awesome, I miss living in CO sometimes...lol.
    I hope that you (and anyone reading this) will have a great day & be safe. :)

      Hey, on your hydrodips, you should embed a simple small business logo, hidden in the job... Just sayin (could make a stencil and spritz it with a little black paint, just like when you correct stuff afterwards). It's like signing your artwork.. Probably not the RV carbon fiber stuff, just the intakes, since they will be at events.
