I am back in the Family Car Graveyard with the "Ole Man." We will attempt to give this 1976 Volkswagen Beetle w/ 40 Ford Kit Life from the Dead. This is one the "Ole Man" purchased a couple years ago. She has been sitting for years! Can she be resurrected? Will she start for the first time in years? Will she drive for the first time? All these questions answered on this episode of RevStoration.

Those Bugs always want to run; doesn’t take much to awaken them. You need to put the gas in the little bitty tube in the carb’s throat so that the float bowl gets full. The fuel pump works; I bet you if you hook up the gas tank it’ll work fine. The ‘63 is cool!!

We did engine rebuilds in by 8 out by 5 and I don't know how many restorations we did over the years along with building trikes and dune buggys. Had thew molds and made buggy bodies our self.
