I'm going to try to do this thank you brother good info and video.🥁😎🥁..
Great job brother I wish you could fix mine.
Great work
I gotta do the same but I just got rust on the back side next to the rear where the running board goes on both sides
Nice how-to. I just bought a rough '67 & I need to do this. I need a welder. What do you recommend for a beginner welder that's not too expensive?
Sorry man i didn’t see this. Honestly the hobarts really good and fairly cheap. Millers are the best but they are expensive as hell, if it was me i would get on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace and start looking for a used one. I’ve seen nice used wireless welders for 150 bucks. Lincoln, Miller’s, Hobart, any name brand you can’t go wrong with. What you don’t want to do is buy a new Chinese one for 200 bucks on eBay because finding parts for them are impossible and you will spend more money then if you bought a name brand used one.
Good luck! Let me know whatcha get!
Great video what gauge metal did you use on that patch panel thanks
I always use 18 gauge. 👍👍
Quick question? When you do it this way what about the heat channel? Does this by pass the heat channel? I am putting pans on and I have stopped the heat coming to the channels. My bug is only used in he summer. So this bypasses putting a new heat channel? Thank you
You can do it either way, i bypassed them but it easily could of left them open. 👍
@@CaseysCustoms So did you take them out to add the rocker panels?
@@matuerob you can, or you can leave them. I left them in and just welded them closed.
What color are you going with once all the rust repairs are done?
Thomas Earhart not sure at all yet torch. I keep changing my mind. Might leave it as is and start driving it and beating on it, might strip it down and do a candy apple red paintjob. Might leave it all together and do a quickie paintjob. Not sure at all LOL
Do you have the link to these rocker panels???
Yes I found body filler when restoring my VW69
