  • The 1958 Vw Beetle ragtop revival continues with A pillar replacement. This rusty Vw Bug needs a lot of metal work, let's weld in some new steel. Next Vids we will do the driver side floor pan and rear crossmember.

    I feel your pain with the welding. I am constantly blowing holes in my welds. I have a feeling that your going to hear "Not Larry Approved" on a regular basis. If I was you I would get a t-shirt made up with "Not Larry Approved" (maybe on the front and back?). That way you don't have to hear it all the time and Larry can just point at your t-shirt when he feels your work is not up to his standards 😀. I am really enjoying these videos .Thanks!!!

    Oh my! Flashing back to me as a kid, doing projects with my Dad! “What do you think?” I’d say, looking for approval. My Dad, like Larry, would look… and slowly shake his head. Larry, like my Dad, has the patience of Job! He actually offered to take over, but allowed you to continue! What a teacher!

    I think on a lot the stuff for these cars you could actually MIG Braze the panels instead of MIG Welding them. Mig Brazing is lower temperature so you get less warpage and the bond if very strong.

    IM pretty sure the inner panel was never welded from the factory. just the edge around then the inner panel was made to strengthen the section. there is a place to weld it from near where the running board mounts.

    Im pretty surprised about welding the inner A-Pillar to the heaterchannel, never heard about it in my 15 yrs doing vw bugs or had any being attached when removing the old ones. is that factory? Either way, it's a really good idea! makes me kind of worried, I have not done that on any of my bugs :O

    • @5150mxVW
      @5150mxVW  Рік тому +3

      Larry says the inner A pillar is not welded from the factory as you have no access to it. He does it to add strength , especially on a rusty car....only if u have access. He says you did just fine, all is good .
