The Klokkerholm firewall for this year range matches this car better. CIP1 carries this one as well.

Love the videos, I too am having the same issues with my Super Beetle project!

Looks sick!

Amazing i bought also this weekend a vw bug from 74"

Yeah number #1!! What color are you painting the body? You're progress is amazing brother!

No comments? Gotta leave something for the algorithm. As always, love the content. You're definitely gonna make the show.

I love all the work you are doing to the Beetle. Definitely a rewarding job!

I have a problem with my super beetle I cut the heater Chanel’s with out bracing the body 😢

You learn as You go. Best way to remove doors is to knock the hinge pins out. If the doors are aligned correctly, you don’t want to mess with the hinge mounts.

Nice to meet You Mike , this just popped up and I subscribed. Been into these old bugs almost 50 years, and currently getting close to finishing up My 69 vert. project. To do a respectable job, I think Your deadline is flat out undoable, not just think , I know it’s not. You cannot put a deadline , especially that short, on such a project. Take Your time and make the trip next year, maybe I’ll tag along. 👍👍🇺🇸

If you don't reach 10,000 subscribers Mike are you still going to give it away ?

You also have the early '73 seat tracks

Actually, you can get the number off the pan as well. Right there by the hole you were vacuuming in

Can you confirm the VIN? Don't give the entire number, just make sure the 3rd number is a "4". I only ask that because while watching the intro, I noticed the front fender are not from a '74 ('74 should have D shaped holes...at least in the States. Canada may not have had shock absorber bumper brackets)

ok

Good luck Mike. I hope you make your goal. I plan on being at the show also. It would be cool to run into you and dad and say hello.. I’ll be looking for your car. Buster’s travels from Pennsylvania USA.

I really hope you make a mark of the rear spring plate position before disassembly. The spring bar have 40 groove inside and 44 outside and allow 3mm of heigh setting. If you didn't do it, be prepare to assemble AND disassemble a lot of time to find the right position. An other thing, springbar have a direction, left goes to the left and right goes... If you change it, they'll work in the wrong direction and you'll have the rear who will go down and too low in no time.

When you first got the bug and every time I see those wheels it reminds me of the VW beetle German look a good few years ago 😁👀😎

Your getting mechanical work the last few bug reworking days, instead of body work. That's different. I wonder If the suspension rear bearings can just get washed and used again. Some old things are built better than new. Don't listen to me. lol I heard you mention the number of video's so far on the body work. You've been busy!

Maybe you've mentioned it already ..but , are y'all striving to make it to the Cars and Cigars Event in Tonawanda, NY ? ..anyways , we're keeping our fingers crossed that you make it..Bestest Wishes to you and Pop 😎 😇❤

Those wheels are bad ass

hammer down every time i look at my 48 i think why did i start another car but it is an addiction im not under a time crunch like you buddy butit will get done .

You look shattered 🥴 and still soldiering on and doing great😎🤟

bro, im digging the series

Love to see this! Ive got 2 doughters myself oldest is 20 youngest is 5. Did all my car projects with them. Paiting stuff, ckeaning stuff they always wanted to help. Best time of my life!! Enjoy it, its going to fast already.

A full hour!? 🎉 At this rate your definitely gonna make it to the show.

Great video. My project has been separated for almost a year. This is Inspiring to get stuff done

you will get it done especially with your little helper

Great Job Mike !! YOU ARE THE MAN FOR SURE

Wrong floor for the 74

Put your Jack stan under the A post hinge side and it will help to align the door. Supporting the body by the struts towers it puts pressure on the upper body and it will misaligned the A post making the door go down on the strike side.

Welcome to VW resto and repair, unfortunately you will have to reengineered all of the after market body metal, I'm replacing some metal in the super and doing the same thing forcing fitting the mental. Good luck you doing well.😁

Hay, these videos are aweosme , it's all a learning curve but aslong as your having fun on the way then that's the main think right. Aweosme content 👌🏼

I still really like your videos 👍 You can do it!!! 🔥🤞🔥🤞🔥

I'm feeling ya on the Goal set, I bought my 72 VW about the same time, we are stalled with the Engine not having any compression so it is being rebuilt. I'm going to be working on Interior stuff today and if it stops raining, I HOPE, I'll be working on the Shift Linkage and maybe getting the wheels off to replace lugs.

The true test is if your doors fit and close good

Really digging your build bro. What gauge metal are you and your dad using for all that body /patch work? 18? 20?

Keep pushing. I just found out I need new crossmembers, lower rear quart panels and both inner rear fenderwells. Already cut the firewall wall out to replace that and have the heaterchannels to do.. I figure another 1-2yrs at this rate haya

Be aware, the two oblong holes you have in the back of your body (under the rear seats) are made for your heater's duct. Right here, you have normaly two parts in bakelite, you absolutly need to mount them before puting the body on your frame. It'll be impossible to do it after. Second thing, these parts are screwed on your body by four welded nuts, but you welded news sheet parts without them.

Nice!

Keep chipping away at the tasks, I know how tough it is to make those timelines but you got this!

Great work love the videos Mike im redoing a 73 super myself waiting on a firewall you know how that goes 😂

i love it bro, so cool to have your dad there to help, he's a trooper

I am in NY and live closer to Niagara Falls than you LOL.

Bro even how hard I wish to win your beetle I hope you can make it in time for the show!!!!

i got a 66 im about to tear down and start metal work

tell me about Dave's head unit in his bug please :)

You did a great job on this video Mike. Always cool to watch videos of guys in similar situations to me (working on VWs, young kids helping, dad coming over to help as well, getting in over your head lol). You’ll have a nice beetle once done. What’s the plan for body/paint?

Always sharing your vids and channel. Got kicked out of one of my VW groups for spamming but life goes on. I wanna see you guys in a decked out shop. Peace and much love to you.

Guess what! Doors are going to fit differently when the chasis is bolted on. I on you same journey and am enjoying your channel dont give up
