...in the process of bustin knuckles you were minding cameras for us. You're top notch.
Great way to end a sunday night🤝
amazing patience. After about two minutes of struggling with some of that, I'd be using a sledge hammer and beating that poor bug to death. Cant wait to see the finished product.
Thank you! Yes, it can be frustrating sometimes. =)
i love the patina on this beetle !!!! the rusty sunburn looks fantastic !!!! you could lacquer over it to preserve it and have it as the your finished look !!!! cool
Yesterday I discovered heavy rust in my heater channels. My only happy thoughts were “my car is not as bad as CT’s”. If he can fix his bug…. So can I. Thank you for the channel! I am going to tackle a heater channel now as well
Awesome Video CT
I like your hard working and intetest ... from PAKISTAN...
Thanks CT !! Good work ! You make my sunday !!! Live Life ! Straight Ahead ✌😎
I appreciate that you seem to be trying to rebuild with the original in mind, and not trying soup it up or slice and dice it into somethin else. Nicely done !
Nice…..the door shuts really good….I love your videos
Thank you!
AWESOME JOB CT👍💯👍
By far my favorite build I’m following right now.
Thanks Paul!
This one is the only one I'm following to many are just working on other people projects and not there own which is sad really.

Hi there, Great job I love your videos
Outstanding work sir. I messed around with cars since early 60’s. First helping my dad and then just me. But never had the skill, patience and confidence you obviously have. Can’t wait to see how you progress. Best of luck.
A huge thank you for doing this series! It gives me great insight for me to start replacing the heater channels on my 69 convertible.
Mike is the guy to ask but just my opinion is measure to distance from front piller to back and make them match so you can tack weld in the passenger side heater channel. I've seen Mike repair a door like that before. Takes time but doable
Man I’m loving this build up!👌😎👍wow! Impressive so far on how much work you’ve done there with what you have!👍
Excellent. Waiting for next video
9:32/ 48:18 Thank you for teaching all of us this process/ product. Learning something new on restoration!
37:10 / 48:18 I had the same issue removing doors on my VW 1961 Beetle. I learned lube, screwdriver w/ tapping the screwdriver with a hammer, then using a air impact screwdriver helped free up those door screws.
Your doing awesome! People need to understand that it takes time, patience, and a little elbow grease, to make a VW Beetle look amazing!
Glad that u know enough to repair and replace rusty areas..and you're keeping the patina,hopefully that you will spray a sealer
Another great one and I will need to try that free all.
Hey Michael, it really works! =)
You are lucky that the heater channels come already assembled. Years ago, when my dad repaired a 74 super beetle that I now have, they came as separate pieces and had to be assembled as they were installed on the car.
He had actually had the driver's side put together and welded in place but had to take it apart because he had it wrong, and the door would not close.
I was going to point that out too. I bought repair panels from the VW dealership back in the day and it came in pieces.
Yes, the HC from Klassic Fab are really nice !=)
Kudos to you for such a mammoth undertaking; especially when doing it by yourself. You’re getting down in the weeds with it and your approach will be really interesting. Everything renewed except the outside paint. I just wish you had help from other people and me. Keep your eye on the ball. You’re rocking it!
Hi, CT. A lot of work remains, but you're doing it great. Do it, I know you can dear master. Best regards from Puerto Rico.
Dude, you’re doing a great job buddy. Keep up the great work.
☺️🙌
Thanks man! 😎
I like this project a lot.
Grew up in the backseat of an split window bus and then a 68' 1300 Beetle, so I like old VW's.
The look of the patina is awesome
bravo pierrot carosier a paris 87 ans merci pour la ballade du souvenir en 1960
You’re doing a top class job, I’ve a 65 and I’m thinking of going over it again
Thank you! =)
Lookin Great, luv this build cheers 👍😎
must be nice to have the space to restore a car like this !!!!! you have a superb size garage
G’day CT, loving that chassis and loving watching the bug’ progress. Hope you and yours are stayin safe and well. Can’t wait for the next one. Until then, take care old friend and keep on vee-dubbing. Guy from Oz👍🏻
Great to follow, can’t wait for the next update!!! Grts from Belgium.
Está ficando ótimo seu trabalho com o fusquinha parabéns meu amigo
Amazing work, super attention to details! 👍👍
Great job bud, look forward to the next one
if you can retore this, you can do anything !! my favorite channel right now!!
You will want to fix and weld the inner wheel well in the front to the heater channel and the rear quarter area to the channel before you cut out the pillar area
Great work there. I am working in my 68 that doesn't look as rusted as yours, so for me, to watch your videos, are an inspiration to keep working on mine.
Great job, I’m enjoying the journey
great work, love this Dak Dak.( aussie slang for VW ) and correctly filmed.
Looks great brother coming along very well.
very good😘😘
Love what you doing… love the video awesome keep up the good work !! Here from ct
That passenger door looks like it's seen better days. I would get another one.
I just started to watch your video and I love it. The vw as always been my dream car but have not able to fined one at the right price.
Thank you for these excellent videos!
I thought it was better to support the sagging doors rather than twisting the chassis...
Maybe you should messure the distance between A and B pillar on both sides..
Doing a great job CT
Thanks Mark!
Thanks for what you do 😊 you have made me push through me beetle project, your video's are edited perfect 👍 carry on with the good work
Awesome! Thank you! =)
¡¡ Excelente trabajo,felicitaciones !!
Hi CT, my friend I admire your diligence and your patience to fulfill the all most mission impossible, but you still do a great job buddy, 🇺🇸🤗🔧👍🏻🇳🇴🇳🇱🤗Greetings.Hubertus
It will be really cool when finished. All the new tech makes it a real sleeper. I would love to see a hot engine in there.
You're really good 👍 bro
Great Job ! Parabéns. Verdadeiro artesão fazendo trabalho de restauração bem meticuloso. Ansioso para ver esse projeto finalizado.
Cool thanks 😊
love your videos! thanks.
Thank you! =)
Amazing 💯
great stuff and progress, I'm about 3 weeks behind this stage ;)
I wish I could buy this one. I love the bugs.
Very nice work ,i love it 🥰🥰🤙
Super cool CT, great content!
Appreciate it! =)
Love watching all the hard work you’ve put into the bug. Keep up the great work.
O😢Sl😮
I love these videos!🖤
Seen that video a dozen times two years ago, I’ll keep searching, though
I know it's not a bug. But on my 82 rabbit pickup four parts car's came in handy thanks for the Videos
Hey CT, I’m massively enjoying your restoration! I’ve tackled several projects like this and for me, the joy is in solving the ridiculous problems. I always think “never again” during the restoration, but after it’s done and drivable, it’s boring to me. So, I start another project, LOL! Thanks for your logical, common sense approach and for showing that even without experience, you can ask other people for advice and successfully complete a restoration. Every week, your video is like a gift! Thanks!!!
Yup like drugs.
Thank you! =)
Tanks for sharing...
It is simple. There are two types of people.
Those who use, or sell cars and those who restore them.
The latter, the restorers, need tons of time, patience, sweat, hard labor, denying of economics, dedication and a embedded mission to bring a machine, cheaply built and not ment for, to a life of 100 years, or ... much more.
And you are one of that guys.
Alass.... I am also. Good luck.
Dear CT,
You’re going well with the 1965 VW Beetle and I hope all will work out fine for you during this process. WIlleke hasn’t seen your vlog because she’s not doing well at all.
Best regards from the Netherlands
Great work...keep going. You should be able to find a complete bottom section for the door.
this is my newest best rebuild. That its a vw is all the better.
Your moving along pretty fast CT. Way to stay at it buddy 👍🏻 have a great week and thanks for sharing the update 😁
I recommend you find a donor bug for the passenger door.
I hope soon next video..this so awsome..thank you
*Congratulation 😎👍.*
I saw another red 914 in good condition there . Give us a walkaroud and vision of the interior please man! Many happy restorations.
Fantastic work brother! I’m seeing a replacement passenger door in your future lol
think of your spot welds as nails....the more you put on there the stronger it is.
Hi CT, I was told your rivet gun tool was invented at Boeing during WW2 by a guy named Lester so they were called Lester tools but you needed air. There was a hand one you could use without air as well but you needed one screw close to it free and up a bit to use it with the tool for leverage to get the other screws out. It was good on a flat surface like on a wing.

Serviço e um nível incrível!! Parabéns!! Esse fusca vai fica perfeito!

My experience with heaters and channels is that they get really hot. I hope the internal frame paint doesn’t off-gas too badly. 😷
Excellent work CT hopefully a bottom door repair panel is needed ,plus get the hinge pin out and renew 👍
Parabéns meu amigo, ótimo trabalho 🇧🇷🇧🇷
God bless you )
Man you have balls of steel! Great job and also great videos! Look forward to the process and completion!
Thank you! =) 👍
Tá fazendo um bom serviço
Parabéns. Ótimo trabalho. Vc é Mestre.
I love your work and I feel you would benefit by doing the same jacking process on the floppy passenger door opening when tacking to the rocker. Use measurements from the other door, both horizontal and diagonal, to give yourself a fighting chance to gap the door evenly. I have never done bodywork, just makes sense to me. This series has me hooked and I am working my way through the swamp dragon..... Best regards from sunny South Africa
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🐺🐩🦊🐩🦊🐩🦊🐩🦊🐩🐆🐯🐅🐅🐯🐆🐯🐆🐅
Work the screws in and out as you go..don't just keep going out only...you spray it..turn out till it tightens...spray the threads you turned out...turn it back in...turn it out again till it gets tight ( just begins to get hard to turn again not too far )..spray again to lube threads as you turn it in...this gets lube in and cleans the threads of crud making it tighten up...repeat till it turns easy.... takes time but usually works to get fasteners out when seized or rusty ....heat helps too as you go...
The screws on the door are made of softer metal than the door pillar threads so that they bite in tight that's why they are always a pain very clever from VW.
Super cool to see you building one of these. Gives me GREAT reference for what to expect for when I dive in my self. Would you be willing to reveal your overall spending budget into the project? Also, what do you do for a living? Truly inspiring, and what a great garage/workshop you got there. Cheers from California!
Da, I know so good the feeling of one step forward and 2 back.. 😑 Happens to me all the time, no matter what I'm onto. The lower border is pretty decayed, it would be easier if you were able to remove it without cutting it off, so the remains could be used as a template or reference. Anyway, you will have to double check measures to prevent things going on twisted. Keep it organized, measure 6 times, cut half time and measure again before you cut it off, whatever it is. Check also heights, could help if you make yourself a extendable tube with something to lock it, as measures will be more consistent that way. Also with an extendable tube (square tube) you can detect discrepancies easier.
Things are gettind interesting and let's see how you'll tackle with the situation. Remember, hammer, dolly and sheet metal are your best friends in remaking something. Welding shrinks the spot, hammering stretches the spot. 😉 Keep on, you're being observed...
🇧🇷 excelente trabalho, parabéns
Its about this time of project that you need to get another project to start 😂
You're an inspiration brother, I enjoy your optimism.
Thanks Jaime! =)
Ct...measure up from top of the hole you popped the clear caps put a mark to cut
On replacement measure up same point..that should put you the ballpark especially for passenger side.
Estou adorando os vídeos muito trabalho, mas ancioso pra ver o carro pronto, parabéns!! Carlos Brasil
A trick for loosening stubborn screws/bolts is to tap your screwdriver with a hammer (whilst slotted onto the li'l stinker) to 'convince' it that maybe it would rather be liberated...
