    Thank you so much for all the gold information. I'm about to finish my rotisserie; hopefully it's going to work well. When I started working on my bug, I said to myself, "I'm just going to build a simple 4-legged dolly out of wood, but watching all your videos and seeing how useful this tool is, it was a no-brainer trying to build one.

    Wow, great video. I wish I had known this technique sooner. I have converted three 6v gearboxes and 2 have given me issues with clearance after the conversion was done. The method you have demonstrated is far better as most of the time I was guessing where the clearance would be.

    Very informative video! I've rewatched this a couple of times as I am currently at this stage of my restoration! I have a question about bracing, I have the same bracing as you but as I will also need to replace the bottom part of the door pillar and the outside front quarter the bracing is kind of in the way. Can I remove the bracing after the new heater channel is in and welded on front and back? obviously the pillar will not be welded to it since it needs to be cut out. Thanks for all the videos, makes it much easier to complete my restoration!

    Try not to repeat yourself....especially within the same sentence. At just 6min. in, we are still talking about repairs before doing the actual work. Probably not the channel for me.

    Great video! I'm new to the vw stuff and will be doing this on a dune buggy project. I do have the early style throwout bearing and pressure plate. It looks like manufacturers make an early style pressure plate and clutch that fits the 200mm 12v flywheel? I figured that's what I would need for the 12v flywheel in a 6v transmission?

    So I lowered my 68 two notches on the rear torsion and the spring plate is resting on the spring plate stopper. AND on the drivers side rear my newly installed Disc brake caliper is centimeters away from the body. I’m going to have to notch the body out where the brake caliper will hit or it will brake my emergency brake stuff off the top of the caliper.

    I have the rotisserie for larger cars. You think it can still be used? Just add some center supports in the middle? My bug is a 74 Beetle and I have to do floor pans. So far that's the extent of major work that I can see.

    On my 57 oval, I have a hole in the very front and very back of my heater channel. Is it possible to just replace those areas and not the whole channel? Also, I have small pin holes in areas on the channel. It’s a California bug.

  • @yang3226
    @yang3226 3 місяці тому

    Hey Callahan, I have a 63 bug I’m restoring, and I made the mistake of not bracing it before taking it off it’s pan. This is my first ever vw project and car project of any kind. I’m bound to make mistakes, but I plan to put it back on it’s pan and re-brace it. My hearer channels are so far dead it’s crazy, you can’t really tell they’re heater channels anymore. I believe the original tack welds are still there. But I wanted to ask, would it be a good idea to weld the doors shut, then replace the channels with the doors welded shut to help with more stability and proper placement??
