- On the second day in KC, we started welding in new metal for the inner longitudinal sections of the driver's side. We also cut out some more rot and fabricated a few patch panels.

Happy birthday Greg! Nice work, can't imagine doing that work without your rotisserie.
Thanks Joe! It would be almost impossible to do it on my back. I've seen others do it on a Cellette bench, but even that looks difficult.
These cars can be a real can of worms when you’re chasing and repairing rust. Dom Chinea in England is doing an A Coupe which is also pretty crispy and it’s a real challenge as well. Mike F’n is another heavyweight who’s not afraid of rust and now CT is entering the fray. My admiration; you’ve all got titanium balls 😂🤣
I've been following Dom's A since he started it. I think he's got a bit more work than I do, but not by much! I also know Mike F and CT. VW Darrin builds all of CT's motors. Darrin did the motor in my Ghia vert about 10 years ago... It seems like a small circle! Mustie1 is also one of the OG guys in our aircooled/VW circle. There are several others. I try to follow them all. They are incredibly knowledgable.
I love these types of videos ! Solving a puzzle and seeing it come back together.
Yes... The order of operations can be every bit as important as where things go. I feel like I assemble and disassemble the car in my head about 1000 times!
Nice work Greg , don't look at the repairs needed as one big job. Just lots of little jobs. Happy Birthday
Oh yes! it's a thousand bite size pieces!!!
Getting something done, baby steps.
It feels like I'm not moving, but I know it will lead somewhere soon!
Wow a big puzzle that you get to make and buy pieces for - nice work Greg
You know it! Thanks
Alot of great progress. Happy belated birthday!
Thanks Russ!
Happy Birthday amazing metal work
Thanks Craig!
already looking much better. I am curious if a 3D scanner, some 3D printed one time use Dies and a hydraulic press or press brake could do on a project like this. The automotive aftermarket has really taken their R&D time for making new accessories to another level with 3D scanners
I haven't thought about 3d printed dies... That could be pretty interesting. I have seen a few folks CNC mill wood and aluminum dies for short run parts. I have a feeling we'd be surprised by the results.
Looking good man! Happy Birthday! =) 😎😎😎
Thanks CT! Baby steps.
Nice bit of Fabricobbling there Sir.
Oh and Happy BD mate.
@@ziggassedup Thanks Ziggy!
Cool
Thanks Terry!
Pretty intense my friend. My Bday is the 16th.
Happy Birthday Greg!
Happy late birthday brother! Yes, there is a lot of extraction left to go!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAN !
Thanks William!
amazing, you are pretty much rebuilding the car from scratch.
There is def a lot of work ahead!
Looking at that project, Better thee than me. ouch,lol
LOL! There's a lot there! The good news is that the replacement parts are REALLY well made and they are BIG pieces. It should come back together quickly.
