I Traded A Shirt for A Bug! 🚗 

I wish more kids was like you these days trying and learning and asking there dad for help good job buddy keep it up

Jack I'm an old granny 82 years old and I really enjoy watching your videos. I can tell you and your little brother are being raised with dry loving parents as you both are well mannered and show love to each other. Thank you all for sharing your videos. Big hug to you all, granny

It's so cool to let your little brother help as much as he can..i was a little brother too.. All it needs is a floor pan they're easy to replace I've done it a few times well worth it..have as much fun as you can..one day you'll be all grown up.. cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Any practical project that involves learning and gaining new skills for a young man is priceless. You have a win there Jack. Look forward to future progress.👍

Great job on getting that VW running, Jack. I had to laugh when the battery fell out! Back in the 80s my husband restored VW Beetles. We had a '65 that the floor was rusty but he restored the body and put a new paint job on it so it looked great on the outside. I was concerned about the rusty floor under the battery but he said no problem. One day I was driving it and it did a sudden death. I pulled over and a gentleman came running up to my car and told me a battery just fell out of my car. Well that explained why it quit running. I was not amused at the time, but we've gotten a lot of laughs out of it since then. I am a 76 year old woman, but I love to watch your videos. I grew up with a dad and husband who liked to work on cars, so I admire you for all you are learning. You have a wonderful dad!

More dads need to be teaching their kids like this dad!!! I am impressed Jack!!!!

“Not what I expected.” A.J. knows deadpan humor.

Reminds me of trying to get my 641/2 mustang started with my dad! Thank GOD for Emory nail files to clean the points. You are a very talented young man Jack! Your father is teaching you well and you are learning! I’m proud of you and I love your videos! ❤

I would've never guessed in a hundred years you'd that thing was gonna run - especially like that, good work.

Your little brother will drive it to his senior prom. Thats a great project for brothers ❤❤❤ So fun to watch your channel🎉

I vote for Pasture Bug. When I was your age (in the early 70's) I had a Pasture Corvair that I had a blast in. If all else fails you could always build a dune buggy. Looks like you're becoming quite the wheeler dealer Jack.

That was so much fun! The motor sounded pretty healthy! Patch the floor and use it for a beater. Thanks guys!

It is so refreshing to watch these kids grow up just like we did in the 60's and 70's. With Morals, respect and a sense for work and above all Family values. I can see these kids drinking out of the water hose and outside playing and building stuff. Great Family.

Sweet deal great work getting it running and rolling. I suggest leaving the engine right where it is, replacing the floor panels and start building yourself a street legal "Baha" Bug!!

AND also the License plate indicates it was licensed in California in early-mid 1973 (as indicated by the G starting the letters) . Those are nifty plates! More that worth the T-shirt! My sister had a '74 Super Beetle in that orange. Great original color!

If you just got that for a couple T-shirts and a hat I would say he made a good deal

This was great! Jack, is there anything you can’t do??? Losing the battery at the end was hilarious and the floor mat comment by Dad too! Keep up the great work, guys and we look forward to seeing next chapter of “Herbie!”

A Bugg is always worth fixing. Love a Bug❤😂

Jack, I love how excited you get! Love it!!!

Jack, you're smarter than 99% of the kids out there today.

Kent, you're just a big kid! 😂👍👍

That's a true Flintstones Bug for sure!! All You need is a new floor-pan & it will be fine. lol.

I got a good laugh when the battery flew out. Thanks for sending my dad's shirt. He really is proud of it and loves watching your channel.

I was laughing so hard!! “I lost the battery Jack!” Awesome. BEST VIDEO YET💙

I teared up when that old VW engine sputtered to life. How many youngsters even know how to pull or push start a manual transmission car? Love these adventures and videos. Oh, and the "transition" was very well done too! Have fun, be safe!

I just LOVE the laughter and pure joy you guys get from doing these things! ❤

That was fun. Sorry about the battery. Give the engine to one that doesn’t need so much work.

That was awesome and you guy's took me down memory lane I use to own a 76 Super Bettle. Great project car 👍

please excuse my language but, Holy S***!!! when he opened that hood!!! It was that rat king's castle. I;ve never seen it that bad! You guys are so much fun to watch. love the bond you have with your kids, it;s so great to see!

Whatever you do save the vacuum advance distributor. I have rebuilt several. People loved to tear those out and put a centrifical Bosch 009 distrubtor and they never run right. If you can get it back to original and bring the chirp back then you know you have it dialed. Also there is a flap system in the air housing that is attached by a rod to a thermostat below the right side of the block. This is what allowes the engine to warm up. Most of the time people ripped those out because if they go bad the engine gets hot and will seize up if that thermostat fails. People always complained they had no heat because people tore all that stuff out because you had to change that thermostat regularly to protect the engine.

My only Volkswagen bug was an orange convertible. (Black top) 😁👍

Good for you for taking on a project like this! My first car was a 1974 VW bug. It was $400 bucks, and I bought it by selling my 4-H steer at auction when I was 16 years old (a long long long time ago!). It was a project car for sure! No fenders, no breaks and more. My dad and I got it running great and found parts from a local junk yard. Lasted many many years until it got smashed by a snow plow. ~ Great memories as my dad has passed now. So happy to see you out there working on this project with your dad. I see your's is a super-beetle by the way the spare tire is sitting. The floor is made separate floor pans/panels that can be replaced. Looking forward to seeing more videos of this project in the future. :)

Good job Jack n Dad ! Doggo was happy too !

Love your channel keep up the good work!!

Way to go guys! Y'all look like y'all was having fun. Love from Hueytown Alabama.

Kent you must really be so proud of your two little guys ! Bless You All !

I think your friend came out ahead on that deal XD but hope you enjoy working on a massive part of automotive history. Edit: I did not think you'd get that thing running lol that was freaking awesome!!!

It’s all win-win you got it running no matter what the outcome is and I love how your dad helps you watch is over you and gives you a hand you ask or need it but it still lets you take care of your responsibilities. I love it.

SleeperDude just hooked up a flat tow on a Beetle in their last video!

Thanks for the belly laugh!!!! Good times! ❤😂

brilliant video again jack. dad has taught you well!! good gang ove guys! dad living /learning /teaching. .... jack showing a great life with doing real things. aj watching, driving his rc, learning about cars, AND being a great cameraman..... well done to you all .. x

Aj holding the camera for you was adorable,you’re a good big brother!!

I grew up in Brazil back in the 70's and 80's. Volkswagen "Fusca" (That is the name of the Beetle there) was EXTREMELY popular exactly because of that! Strong, very dependable engine and body extremely resistant to the elements. Congratulations Jack! your videos are so uplifting and filled with positivism! God bless you and your family!

😂 guys this was so cool,I enjoyed the ride. Great job Jack and your dado and little brother are so funny. Love the family. God bless yall.

Great video! Good teamwork.

I'm glad to see people my age working on cars. I'm actually looking for a project car currently to work on and learn more about auto repair. I find your guys videos very helpful, interesting, and inspiring. Keep up the good work!

This video was so much fun. Love seeing you and your dad working together. I use to have a 66 corvair,back in 2000. another car with an aircooled engine in the rear of the car. My ex is a red seal mechanic and I learned so much and was so fun to hang around the shop and get to knowing how to fix the belt when it would come off and so much more. How to drive with two feet to keep the engine running as it would stall before I could get it into the shop on the other side of town . Driving fast was fun too. Like it was driving that little Volkswagen around the field 😊❤️

I love the vids you guys make. They’re just so real and wholesome. Keep it up.

It's cool watching you and your Dad. Having a brother along with you is nice. AJ I think that's his name. I bet it's nice having your dad being your best friend. That is so cool to see.

Your interaction with your little brother is so wholesome and sweet! ❤ love your videos

All I can say is: SLUG BUG WHITE! LOL

Love watching your videos. I wear my Speed Bump Garage t-shirt and hoodie proudly in Wisconsin!!Awesome Family!!

Good job getting the bug up and running. Can't wait to see what y'all do with it. HAPPY EASTER!

AWESOME!!!! We just got a 68’ Super Beatle. Going to rest with my daughter. She’s 10. We are excited! Love your channel!

Well done Young fella. Your a natural. keep it up. So good to see a young guy like you out there doin it. Looks like your little bro is on the right track too...

Great job Jack, Dad and Aj!! Keep the videos coming! Thx guys 🙏

So awesome to see you working with your Dad and the confidence you have in your skills! Great trade and now all you need a body for the engine and transmission! I know that with your skill set you can build the floor and brackets/seats! Looking forward to see more Dad/Son work!

Very cool to start off what it was and to not only get it running but to be able to make it move under it's own power is a win win. The look on Jack's face when the fuel line came off is funny and his Instinct to head in the direction to shut the car off is epic. To top it all off it couldn't off ended any better. Fix what you got and it will be well worth it. Great video 👍

Wearing your hoodie now. Turns out it’s my favorite one. Glad you found a new project. Thanks for the content. Jesus is the way the truth and the life 💚

so proud of you jack you're so smart keep up the aamazing work!

Loved it! Great job getting it running. I would go for a pasture/dune/doodle buggy build. What fun you could have.

Hey young guy, you look like an interesting fellow. Good for you taking your interest and light hearted talent and humour to social media to bring us these great lil videos. Brotherly love from Australia. You keep going... Hi to your dad there as well coaching things.... :)

What a fun project and fun to watch. I didn't think you had a prayer getting the BUG to run. Congrats on job well done. Maybe you could get me to running. Love it.

Awesome too see how much fun you all have....you didn't do too bad Jack!! Dads crazy 😅

Thanks for the "buggy ride" laughing all the way right along with you. That beetle has a soul now since this video effort. You can't just take its engine then leave it for the rats! But... it's your call guys. Sooo funny. This may have been it's last hurrah...its final day in the sun. Seeing it haul balls around the track was terrific however. It "just needs a little work" Thanks a million

Great video Jack and Dad AJ too. If you have VWs with out engines Id do a swap if they can be made legal as you'll need something to drive to school after a while that's good on gas and cheap on insurance. They do make replacement or fix it floor pans for old VWs Muskie could probably tell you where to order or Tony Fitzees's fabrication has several U-Tubes on making floor pans from scrap sheet metal . Both are great vids Congratulations on getting it running. I miss Oklahoma good to see a bit of the country around there again.

After the throttle linkage came apart I once rode 5 miles on the rear bumper of a bug while my friend drove and I operated the throttle, because it beat walking that far! (Couldn't pick up a cell phone for a "Hey Dad" in 1982). Back in the day it was easy to get a brand new floor pan for an old bug, but I don't know if that is still true.

I have not celebrated and cheered on a video before, but I had a great time watching Jack get that VW running! This is my favorite video of the month. Way to go, Jack!!

Dang, you boys are getting really big, wow. Nice to see you again. Great time with the VW video.

Jack you are amazing!!!!!!! You always amaze me when I watch! Just sent you and mom a letter addressed to grow jack outdoors, A. J. from florida

Jack, you rock, dude! 🤘🤘 Keep up the awesome work!

You guys are Awesome !!! I did not think your bug would run !!! Great Job !!!

Jack you are amazing young man I would love to see you completely bring back the VW . Great vlog.😊

You guys are great, love how you make the ole farm finds run again. Country boys do what country boys do. Love seeing it get done.

Great work guys !! 🤙😎👍 The engine sounds sweet ❤️ It’s alive !!

Just came across your channel few days ago. Really enjoy the videos. it’s a blast watching what you are doing as a young man. Keep up the good work definitely subscribed.

Jack, I am a younger granny of 68 years old and in 1972 I got my first car and even though I am a girl my Dad taught me how to change the tire, tune up the engine, disassemble clean and reassemble my carburetor and fuel pump. Later on I learned how to remove and replace the brake master cylinder in a Kharman Ghia. Oh yeah! My first car was a 1967 VW Beetle. Dark blue and I miss it.

Saw a clip Facebook. Immediately came to RU-vid to check out this video to see if yall got the bug running. Good job young man. Really enjoyed this video

You knew that battery wasn't going to stay in there FOREVER, Jack !!! . . . but I loved seeing you smile so much today - that's what being a kid is all about. ALSO, those sunroof bugs are fairly rare - keep it and put some metal over the holes in the floor, get a way to start it and turn it off and you can ride it around the farm. ( just don't make a RU-vid video of it, like you said - we'll believe you !!! )

This was entertaining as hell ! Love the vid ! Keep it up jack !

Good thing about old cars is they are fixable….some more assembly required than others tho😂

You and your Dad and AJ are having such a fun time working on the 🚗 cars. You are building great memories. Even if You Tube won’t let you drive LOL. You go Jack❣️

Jack, You are awesome! Love AJ's answer to what he thinks of the bug.

🎉🎉❤❤ So excited you got it running!!

I love how you can just work on them cars! Keep on doing what you’re doing and have a great day.

Thanks for making me laugh today! I really enjoy your videos

That’s Awesome guys and good job AJ recording 👍👏

Love watching these videos. I'm very impressed with dad! He is doing an amazing job raising young men.

You r awesome Jack. Love watching you and your dad playing in cars you get running. Keep having fun. DAD I SAY YOU R A GREAT Dad.
