CT 5150 talks about you on his Videos !!!!! Your Movin on up ! Thanks Straight Ahead ! Happy 4th ✌😎
A little tip, if you run masking tape on both side of the seam before you seal it. Run your seam sealer than pull off the tape giving you a good clean line of sealer. Nice work and keep them coming.
I was at the show CT!Drove down from St. Augustine. Stayed at the Hyatt and walked to the arena. Fantastic show!
Awesome Andy! =) The Cure put on a great show for sure!
That car still has the soul of an original.
Does VW DARRIN ever come over and hang out I miss seeing him THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS
Nice to see you are wrapping things up! I once learned that in big projects they sometimes had a "closing-team" coming in and finalizing all the small details. This went much faster than if the original project team should do it. So keep up the progress!
If I'm still living when you finish this BUG, I'd love to go for a ride. Just kidding. Your doing a great job. I enjoy watching you tear into this old car and make it new.
HAHA! =) Thanks Buddy! 👍
You make a very very nice job. Greatings from germany💪🤟
Thank you very much! =)
You are doing a great job. Impressed with your abilities for a first timer. Personally I would repairmthe dash and put a nice finish on it as this will be the last time you are able to do so without major masking . Just my opinion. Keep up the good work.
You've gone so far, excellent job I must say, you've put so much into this restoration. you might as well go all the way. Just my opinion.....
Mine too..
My best Sunday’s include Mustie1, Diesel Creek, Farm Craft and CT.
Thanks CT for doing what you do, if you’re ever in my neck of the woods I would love to buy you a beer.
My pleasure man! What part of the country are you located?
Midwest, Wichita area.
Man is looking beautiful! Great job CT! I think you’re doing a great job on that metal work. Looking forward to seeing more updates!👌😎👍
Hi My Dear Friend Very Very Good Job ❤❤❤❤❤
You are getting good at it👍👏
Thanks 😁
I think you should restore the whole thing I do think it'd be worth it would be very beautiful I think you should prime and paint the whole inside and outside 😀
I agree with you 100%, I hate that patina look. Do all that bodywork, and it still looks like you're driving a piece of💩. When I bought my 63 bug 5 years ago, it was beautiful, shortly after the clear coat started to peel. Now it's about halfway peeled, and it kills me. Every once in a while, I'll presure wash it and then hit it with some rustolium gloss clear to make it look better, but it still doesn't look as good as it did and in a couple of weeks it'll look like crap again. Eventually, I hope to change my heater channels also, and when I'm done, I'll repaint it. I want mine to look as close to new as possible..
A True Good Samaritan 😊👍
Thank you! =)
What a large rust repair effort. Well done. Personally I believe it's got rust too deep to leave the patina rust. Just get it all and then paint it good. But it's your call. Nice work, just encapsulate all rust and clear it also a thought. Stop all the rust. It looks good with the encapsulated black tint. Solid repaired rust stopped. Just my 2 cents
You can air brush the patina CT when the final paint dam CT your doing great 👍💯💯
That's awesome you got to see The Cure. I've also been a fan since the 80's. I have all their albums but never got a chance to see them. Keep up the great work on the bug!
Finishline gettin" closer 👍
Can't wait to see the "patina- paint " CT !
Eastwood sales an aerosol can rust remover/converter (Eastwood Internal Frame Coating Aerosol | Internal chassiss Frame Rust Remover | Rust Converter and Prevention Aerosol Spray Undercoating for Vehicles |14 Oz, Black) It would work great in all them areas where you can't get paint. Hate too see all the work you have done on this VW go to waste later on down the road. I know that Florida has some very humid weather and that moisture gets into everything that is outdoors. It's not cheap but it does great on keeping rust away from unpainted metal.
Rust Oleum makes great quality products. Great job; we’re getting there!! 💪👏👍😉
Yes, it was a Mike F recommendation! =) Thanks man! We're Getting There!
Good thing about seam sealer is that you can paint over it.
When you wrapped the Teflon tape onto your water trap thingy, you should wind it clockwise onto the male fitting.
Hi CT, Nice work you are still making good progress according to your welding👍🏻, and insight into how to approach the issues🛠.well-done my friend🇺🇸.Greetings.Hubertus.🇳🇴🇳🇱🙏🏻☮🍀
the area with the filler looks good
Thanks man! I was pretty happy with it.
I saw a youtube about a VW bus getting chemical dipped. It looked awesome. Dip, powerwash, stabilize.
I saw that too. It was awesome! =)
Saludos de Mexico CT
dam CT been hot here in palmbay Florida ive been doing my homework omg one time it reachrd 103. Your welding for a biginner doing very well as for the air traps is great i was a machinist we had an air trap clear relief valve you drain it by turning a valve and the water flows out it was effective
I like your work
Awesome job CT. Quality patience! Pin hole welding looks to be a little challenging at times. Perhaps an undercoating would serve as a backup protection to the interior. As for the haircut, my grandfather was a barber. Great job!
Looks really good it’s nice to see you making such great progress 👍just one thing that I noticed, when you we’re changing out the filters on the compressor, it looked like you wrapped the teflon tape, in the wrong direction you might want to go back and fix that, you don’t want it to leak.
Dude….this is one of the most satisfying videos out there! Did the Swamp Monster ever get finished?
Nice work. Very interested to see how you match the patina.
Your welding skills have come a long way from when you first started. Way better than I am.
The beetle needs a full Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance restoration .. and then it can be parked in the $400 portable garage
[end sarc] 🤣😂🤣😂
😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Doing good - I would make good those wheel arches patch em up with new metal where necessary - they take a lot of abuse in there and theyre already thin and blowing through.
I like the rustoleum primer colour its a good match :D
Naytch!
=)
Always good to see your progress. I honestly couldn’t work in that humidity though. You have a lot of patience but it’ll be pretty cool when it’s done 🫵🏻👍🏻
Thanks buddy! 👍 It's not easy but I love a challenge and the weather is just one more to overcome! I had a fortune cookie the other day that read “…a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor” I thought that was pretty cool! =)
@@CTmoog well now, maybe that’s what you should nick name the car “Fortune Cookie” or “Cookie” for short 😁
I donno how he does it either. I have worked there and it is just so hot After about 30 minutes I cant focus anymore.
Awesome work CT! Have you thought about airbrushing the
rust effects? On top of your off white basecoat maybe start with a wash of cadmium yellow for the lightest rust and add a red ocher and burnt sienna for the darkest rust. Just a thought as I enjoy painting. That red rustoleum used judiciously looks cool too if lightly spattered over the thinned down yellow :)
Yes, that would be cool. I'm not sure yet how I'm going to achieve the look. Sounds like you know what you're talking about! =)
@@CTmoog with the way you're working, I'm sure it's gonna be very amazing. I am in awe of all the things you've achieved on the patina beetle project 👍
@@CTmoog there's rust effect paint for airbrush
Ótimo trabalho parabéns eu também tem um Fusca 68 estou finalizando
A little tip if welding a gap get a welding stick rod break the flux of and use the rod wire in the gap getting better though😊
Ficando sensacional 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Lookin' good, some steps closer to finish. Ya, the chemical treatment is a very effective part of the prepping, also it's good thing to soak the lap joints, leave some time and then blow it with airgun, so the remaining chemical actually exits the gap. I would not wash it later since water does it's job, but only wire wheel it or lightly sand.
Let's be honest, it's a totally different feeling when you see the inside made of solid stuff, not only crunchy paper thin stuff, which you can tear off with wour fingers.
I dont' think the chemical ate away the paint, except if it's some metal based one, but I think your car is not creamy color by default, but white. It got creamy after years of rust depositions.. Am I wrong?
Way to go! Keep on and cheers.
😉👍
Un saludo antes que nada desde México 🇲🇽 muy vien colega yo estoy aorita tanbien arreglando un vochito y boy aser lo mismo y también voy arreglar la plataforma
It's shaping up..
You can use a light on the inside of the body to find all of the pin holes to be welded shut. Looking good, I don't know how you are standing the heat. I hate the heat in Mobile this time of year, it makes it hard to work on anything. As long as your hardener is still liquid in the tube and not dried up it will work just fine with your body filler, put some tape over the hole and press on.
Minimising water vapour in your air system is a great thing to work on. If your old compressor reciever can be added in parrellel to your existing system it may collect some water and help to minimise the number of compressor cut in/outs. How do you filter the compressor air intake to stop dust/sand from getting into the system?
I know about that heat, because I grew up in new port Richey
Teşekkürler CT senden güzel şeyler görüyorum öğreniyorum
Ever thought of using JB Weld SteelStick to fill the pin holes? Easier to control and clean up, and it hardens like steel.
I dont know if theres anything to put over that metal after you have installed patch panels ect to stop the rust. Seems a pain in the butt to resand the next time you get at a section to continue working on it. Primers a pain if your not done yet. Dunno as I have 2.5% experience in bodywork.
Yes, you can use rust treatment on it like I did at the end. It works great.
I had one of those, advice, Don't erect it outside, mine ended up 300 yards from my house, that was after I pegged it down to the ground. It was pegged down so tight that the cover got torn up pretty bad, I guess you get what you pay for, good luck with yours.
That 12x20 carport sells for $300 at Costco
NOW THATS A SCREWDRIVER LOL!
Without strain relief, that oil/water separator won't last long.
Show 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
Hey mate. We're getting there. Comments made as I watched....
1.I'm liking the haircut.
2.Well done with your welding, you should be pleased. As for pinholes - always shine your work light through from the back - you'll probably find a few tiny ones you missed!
3.It looks like as soon as you weld in a new panel, it rusts due to your humidity. Please just cover new metal in primer. Then no more need for that scary acid stuff. Prevention is better than cure! Also, are you sure you're supposed to clean it off with water the next day? Surely water would be the last thing you should put onto the newly cleaned steel. Could you use something like white spirit, maybe? Turpentine? I don't know, but not water.
4.Have you thought about seam sealer on that rear bumper hanger?
5.I think you're doing great - stay on track mate it's looking really cool.
Looking good had to laugh when you talked about the cure concert I drove down from jax to go to it deff a great show. Got a question that magnetic flash you use where did you get it. Keep the good work up
Please explain how the copper metal spoon helps with welding larger gaps etc?
The steel weld doesn't stick to copper. It provides a temporary backing to fill the gap.
So painting over the rust? No sand blaster?
It's been a long time for me, is that hole at the bottom of the right rear fender mount/lower quarter supposed to be there?
ct I think you should do is experiment on cardboard then what colors to use to paint the body of the vwbug and try to get more body works done so you get done off videoing to show everyone what you do .
Yes, keep it up on the 65. I don't care about the other cars. :-)
What welder setup are you using?
Vai ficar muito bom 👍
Qual foi o valor que você pagou nesse Fusca. Aí compensa fazer uma restauração como você fez até agora Eu tenho um Fusca 1961 preciso trocar a frente e a saia traseira.
Yes CT 2000psi is a full tank of gas
Put a tape on both caps with date of install of the filter.
Go watch Ultimate Rebuilds…he did a newer VW but did the old rusted patina on the whole car. It looks awesome.
CT before you put carpeting put that sticky i believe they call it doro mat i cover the inside with it ive seen alot of builders use it .
AMIGO EL TEFLON LO HAS COLOCADO AL REVES DE LA ROSCA
By the way, the rat look is cool, but I think in the end you give her a paintjob...😂😂😂
What percentage of the metal work is done at this point in the game?
Aren’t you keeping the patina anymore?
Bom Dia Bom Domingo é possível importar peças principalmente as Borrachas parte do câmbio ou o site onde posso encontrar aí Aguardo um retorno.
👍🙋♂️
You should dip this car in rust removal chemicals❤
did you find another door?
Saw someone use an old air comp. tank as a final drier for painting and to protect their equipment. From what I saw it worked pretty good. It is a final defense against moisture. All those filters cost a lot of money but they are not bullet proof. Double tanking makes them almost obsolete and improves your capacity while spraying. Not my invention, watched it proven by someone smarter than me.
U use polyester primer you can bondo right over it and it will adhere better than on the bare metal
How do you get it
I have met Rick flairs son several times before he died. He would get arrested in Charlotte NC alot.
I think you need to wet sand the whole car to take of the loose rust and get it to a smooth patina and then after you get done with your fake patina to blend the paint job you need to clear coat the whole car before it completely rusts to a state that makes you have to start over. You might even bring back some of the original paint to blend with your patina.
are you still working on didge truck?
🤗👍👌🤝
put the rust killer in a spray applicator
Ospho before rust converter CT!!!
Dude i tell that to you like 10 times
What part you don't understand?
stick your finger in soapy water before spreading the seem sealer and you will love the results
cault with a brush,not a finger
Like Phosphoric Acid?? Only toxic.
So that’s what that hole is for🤔
To smear the sealant, the finger must be wetted in anisilicon
A mixture of water and dish soap also works well.
Conheço você mas não sei o seu nome.
VEO QUE EL MOTOR NO TIENE SU TAPA CON LO CUAL NO SER REFRIGERA
Could you sequence or number your videos please?
anyone make Volkwagon kit cars ?
No water , just wire Bruch
I just don’t get the patina look idea. I know it’s a personal preference and it is your car. But if I had put as much love and attention to detail in a restoration as you clearly have in this one, I’d want to go all the way and and paint the damn thing. Just saying.
You call "patina"....i call it pile.of rust
