Thanks for your comments and likes. thanks for watching.
Looks good buddy that’s what I got to do to my bug also
Awesome job as always but you took your time to finish something that nobody is going to see but it will be protected and will last a long time 👍👏🏼
I love to get your tips and tricks on paint and body work. There are so many ways to get it done. I'm thinking you really know how to avoid mistakes! And.... those boxes of parts.... looks like Christmas!!
That pan looks almost too good to hide under a body Mike! Great to see so much care being put into areas most folk won't even see, but makes all the difference to a classy resto.
Actually it wasn't that bad
Soo cool to see a new vid ! And to imagine this will all have beautiful paint is such icing on the cake ! Looking forward 🎉
Awesome job 😎👌💪
I'm with you on the power coating, It's so nice but costly. A few coats of good primer and paint is just fine. Plus I bet the coating that your putting on ( the pan ) is better than, what VW put on back in the day. nice
yea they just used some sort of oil base with no primer.
fantastic love your work Mike
Now put a fiberglass MG body on that pan!
(Kidding, of course. )
Another showstopper in the works for sure. I would never have guessed it would be a low-mileage car given what you started with…but its secrets are now revealed!
Mike chip guard or rino liner would be a great finish to put on the bottom..
Great job
Nice job, great information on the paint process.
It’s a thing of beauty !😊
great job// save all the V.W. Beetles
It looked pretty good, after you clean the under side! Good job overall
Thanks 👍
looking good once again .cheers
Hi Mike, been awhile since I have popped in but really like the restore. Not a fan of ralleys unless I'm there. CT is doing great so far on his. Slow but he lives so far away and is working again I guess during the week. Oh, I found on heavy old hard to get off grease gas works quickly on removing it.
I film the shows for people who are in places there are none.
Great job
Looks good man.
Just gotta say, these cars lasted 50 years, I think we go over board these days..
True....and it was not even cared for can you imagine if it was
This past year I did a Bradley GT for a friend of mine had to replace floor pan on passenger side and repair floor pan on driver side and deleted the tail lights he had taken the top off and I had to do some fiberglass work around the windshield area and that it how I did the delete on tail lights also, for some reason on those cars from the door area to the rear wheels the body wants to sag and it bows out so I cut and repaired to take that out and painted it a tangerine orange and put Pearl over it ?
You don’t have to paint over the por15 if you paint your pans with por15? I just did that.
POR 15 is a self priming finish.
hand sanding the whole thing?! maybe I'm lazy but I woulda thought a fresh sandblast would be better. I don't have your experience tho.
Thanks for the great video! Question: do you seam seal after priming and before the top coat or after both are done and then just use the rattle can on top of the seam sealer?
Great video Mike, question do you anything insidethe tunnel? if so do you have a video etc .. or what would you do? and has any one ever said to you your voice soundslike Garfield.. just love it! makes listening to your videos very enjoyable!
IM AVAILABLE SUNDAYS AND MONDAYS.... 😉
What was rust conversion stufs name what you use
I used that permatex one just to touch up some of the rusted areas. Then encapsulated the remaining with epoxy.
Mike, you should always miss one small little spot that is so obvious so it will drive us crazy and we start yelling at the screen!
yea that is a good one....Maybe CT....does that IDK how he gets so many views
Nice jobs Mike! What paint did you use for the black, did you reduce down some Rust-Oleum? Thanks!
Hey Mike ~ what is the cleaner you used? Super Clean? Thanks
I could but ask why wouldn't you do the bottom first that way you would not have to be concerned about scratching it as much, it tough doing it by yourself !!
Awesome how you can’t even tell where the patching occurred! Are you switching the rubber bushings for the rear torsion bars? Better to do it now than with the body on.
Probably leave them original. The old rubber is probably better than the new stuff.
@@Mikefngarage Especially with a low mileage car.
@@vayabroder729 the front end is really tight CT says arent you changing the tie rods.....Im like NO....they are in good shape. he is like WHATTT?????
@@Mikefngarage Maybe the two rubber snubbers if anything!
yea the stops front and rear are shot. putting new one on for sure there.
I wonder that it is allowed to let all the Chemicals flow into the Ground.
I think passing gas is illegal. That is a water based cleaner Superclean. People use it to wash stuff inside and outside of their houses all the time. I think it neutralizes the grease....I didnt use any chemicals....Only that stuff. and I am sure there is some hazard to everything....a car oil leak.....Tire rubber on the roads. Probably worse than what I did.
