Today we clean the rear, fix the wiring, remove the gas tank, clear the fuel line and more! This 1964 VW Beetle was sitting in a pole barn for over 25 years! Let's bring it back to life.
So many people complaining. "Doesn't finish a project!", "not using the original 60 years junk parts!", "taking shortcuts with the wiring!". The man is spending his own money on his own cars! Let him have some fun, for Christ sake! Bring it on, CT!😂👏👏👏
The Patina Twins are definitely some of your better projects. If they were mine, one would get a stock refresh and the other would be a 1700cc terror, but both would look similar on the outside. One for cruising, one for bruising. Double the fun.
after the j and b dries. put some clean the tank out with muriatic acid and put some POR 15 gas tank sealer in there it will permanently seal those holes up. stuff is amazing.
Yes, I think you might be right. You can see the black stain on the inside of the engine lid. The rodents chewed on them pretty good as well on some areas.
Love watching this. Will finish my own VW Baja soon now that I'm retired. Brings back a lot of memories when I was going through the same problems. I would have brazed the little holes on the gas tank but everyone has their own way. As long as you are having fun and making memories. Great job! Great video!
duck man V.W. use oven cleaner, its cheep it works good to clean out grease off trans and engine .//its great to see put it back on the road and fix that wire right to fuse box ,great job//
Well, Mr. CT, work is progressing. I think you shouldn't worry too much about changing some parts like junction boxes, fuse boxes etc. as some parts are becoming difficult to obtain and the standard today is way better. When I will rebuild my "boxy", I will make also a hybrid machine, changing some less noticeable parts with a more modern counterpart, I'll also make some modifications on the older version of some parts to make those better. Some stuff was not really good to start with, depends though. Cheers and keep on.
You may wish to look into Lizard Skin sound deadening and ceramic heat shield. They are water-based products that spray on. I have used both and they work extremely well.
Don't know what part of Florida you hail from but back in the late 70's bought a Beetle from Pensacola, Fla, that was in good condition. Dealer had sprayed it well with undercoating so it was very solid. Made it well worth saving.
1965 was the last of king link pin front axle. First year for the wipers that rest on the left. First year of the push button rear hatch thumb bar for the horn was 1964 & 65 only. fits to 1971 though
Sucks beetle engine locked up but looking forward to some acvw content. I Should be able to make it to Patina Party this year with my beetle hopefully the super is there👍
My dream Beetle would have a Chevy Drivetrain,,of course changing the chassis/Frame,,front engine,,either a 265/283,,with fuel cell on the trunk,posse rear
@@CTmoog you’ll getter done . Worked on an old 53 jeep Willy’s for about a year , did everything to it . That thing would climb trees it was so low geared . Anyway see ya in your next episode.
I think you already know what I was saying while seeing you remove the tar from the engine deck... 🤣 Say, did you catch that spider? I was also thinking, while seeing you clean the transmission, it was a great opportunity to change the clutch kit and clutch cable; y'know just in case... Great job as always!
CT with all the resto work you do have you given thought to buying a refill station for your spray chemicals buy brake clean wd40 etc in bulk then refill a refillable bottle and gas it up
CT that is a twin of 1965 you have already. 1964 the windows were smaller glass house 1958-64* 1965-2004 *Brazil never went to the 1968-2004 Mexican European made vws.
Trying to do some stuff from the home shop to save on gas and time. It's an hour from my house so two hours driving, tolls, fuel , wear and tear....it adds up. also it's summer time so it's hot, humid and could rain at any time. I'll be back out there at some point but it's nice to have the home shop bak up and running.
Keep in mind, brother that the spiders need eggs and what you see is a female and there’s probably hundred possibly many hundreds of eggs ready to hatch make sure you either burn them or put them in a close black bag very tight. Those spiders are very small As their hatching. Otherwise if you don’t get them fast enough, they’ll take over your entire house .Think about it
@@MitchellPetersoncustomdrone You are wrong. Soldering is dangerous because the cable loses its elasticity and the acid in the solder attacks the copper. Except in the control computers, you will not find any soldered connections in any car from the factory. German and US military vehicles in World War II also had no soldered cable connections.
I pretty much stopped watching the content because it never finishes a project and for me that’s a little boring watching him by John start on it and then not finish it
