@@sandraclowdus6549 He has a living and understanding wife!

@@kenshores9900 that should be loving. But yeah without that none of this would be possible. lol

@@stude1953 S true!

But it's people like you folks that save these rusting VWs for restoration and parts, and save them for historical and enjoyment purposes. While I'm not doing any rescues any more, I truly appreciate the work it takes to retrieve and restore the cars I drove in my teens while working at a used car lot. Good work guys!

You're like fellow Troubadours.

thank you , much appreciated

Sometimes we would like to help through the screen!

thank you, I appreciate it WarBird

And wear a hat!

yes, great ideas Corey , I have used a punch in the past ...my luck i'd bugger up the threads lol, so i stuck with the hammer. That. is my plan on the SO23 camper, try and tie the frame / beam / torsion tube all together for loading once it's a roller....the poles are still there , i didn't grab them haha, i will. thank you

thank you Tim, I really appreciate that

thank you James !!

thank you AP, well right now the one eyeball fell out on the way home ( unbroken on trailer ) and it's leaking tranny fluid all over the trailer ....marking it's spot perhaps ?

My seats !!! OMG , that sucked 🤦‍♂️…usually it’s just the battery , not my low backs , ugh

Nice work Jason, cool bug. Is that the Blair Witch house in the background?!

Hi Chris, thank you for the 60 info , i'm a newb on the 60 stuff

@@5150mxVW no sweat homie!! I have an April 1960 pearl white beetle and I love the odd ball quirky one year stuff they have!! Weirdest part is the trans mount on the nose cone of the transmission, which raises it slightly, which tilts the engine down a tad, which means one year only dipstick!! (Supposed to be painted red! So we dont mix em up!) Stock muffler would have been different too as a result! Fan shroud has 1 year only rubber wire clips, and since it's the last year for screw type wire connections, the turn signal switch is incredibly rare!! That and the vertical key slot. Also cool 1 year color options! I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, but they are such cool weird beetles!! Cant wait to see more on this car!!! Have a Rad Day duder!!! You kick ass dude!!!!!!

haha, awesome :)

Would love to have a Microbus myself.

thank you Jeff, much appreciated

hi Andrew , thank you , much appreciated ...gotta get the rusty ones rolling or you twist em to all hell :)

Nice ! was that the 67 SO42 ? I think I saw it on the CT VWA page, nice find !

@5150mxVW yeah! Would love any suggestions, recommendations, referrals for welding companies in the area.

thank you, I thought I'd have time for a cold one in the cold crystal clear pools of the river but nope....next time :). I deserved some water but drove 2 hours thirsty as my truck hadn't gone into limp mode yet....yet haha

@@5150mxVW Awesome bro.

thank you Sasha , I appreciate it

headed back in a couple days for the Bus, I needed to get a win under my belt lol... Every tow vehicle I own is having issues / needs work so I wasn't sure I was even going to be able to trailer the Beetle home due to QX56 going into limp mode constantly. I was in neutral coasting down the hills of the highway with the truck off ...it was BAD. Took forever to get up there , couldn't find the sweet spot / trick / gear / speed / tow mode , no tow mode , tried everything. On the way home it flat out died a few times and would not restart. It was the longest ride home ever, got home at 6 am ...did snooze some but it was bad :).

thank you Glen, much appreciated !

Jason has much more guts than me for sure. Is awesome how he car retrieve these buried VW's and get them going again.

thank you , I appreciate that !

thank you Danny

Thank you , much appreciated

thank you, that was easy compared to what lies ahead ....

Josh kinda tapped out on the last one ...hopefully he gets his💩together and comes back for the next one. I don't expect him to be out for 10 hours like me but ...Thank you JP, much appreciated my friend

Need to send a Bobcat tracked skid steer for Jason to use to extract these tough ones.😊

thank you for the kind words Kris, much appreciated

thank you Mike, this is fun work , what i do to get away from " work " haha
