Great video, I particularly like the fact that you give the bolt sizes.Very helpfull.
Thank you, hope it was helpful.
Thank you, this is by far the best description on separating the body from the pan that I have found here on CZcams, I really appreciate the time and effort you took in making it.
I am currently deciding whether or not I can repair the frame head rust damage on my 71 Beetle without having to do this.
I haven’t looked for vids on how to do this, because I have been working on VWs since the 80s and know how. Lol.
BUT your vid popped up and I watched it.
You did a great job on showing someone how to do this. No BS and to the point.
You have a new subscriber and I will give your other vids a watch.
Thanks Robert.
Very Helpful video. Lots of videos mention the bolts but they don't mention unhooking all the oter stuff along the way
Thanks Spud.
Yo Jay I all ways wanted to know how and this helped a lot I lived in the Yucatan and VW `s are in use alot awesome thank you sir
O wow. I bought a bug about 3 months ago and it needs some rust restoration. This video is gonna make my life so much easier.
The straps obviously worked fine, your video proved that. Since your lift arms lock I wouldn't worry about folding fenders in as a comment mentioned being concerned about that. I don't have a lift at home so I'll have to come up with another solution. I'm looking at a kit project so your video has the best detail I could find to show me what I'm getting into. Good job, very informative and helpful.
Thanks for mentioning the 2 bolts that you missed at the end of the video. Very useful.
Thank you, glad it was helpful.
Thank you for a great educational video it looks like the straps worked well
Hey Jay! Video was awesome! I only have a home garage, no vehicle lift. Need to work on my 67 Beetle. This video will help if i decide to or need to remove the pan. On the straps, Harbor Freight has tons of great products. I would not trust straps only, on a customers car. if a strap failed, great amout of damage and expense to repair. All the windows would be toast. Like the method, but only to break the body lose from the pan. (a few inches up) Then go with a more secure, solid lift method. Thanks again for the great video.
Thanks for the video! My son and I are working on our 69 Ghia that we saved from the car crusher 👍 Hope to see you on the road!
I'm about to work on my VW and this was the best video on how to remove the body I have seen. Thanks.
Thanks man, hope it was helpful.
Very helpful video
I have a MGTF kit car (fiberglass body) n needed some help in how to take to the body off the VW chassis.
In fact I would like to put a 4 cylinder up front just like a regular truck.
Once again nice job on your video 👍
Thank you.
Great video! Thanks for your time and information.
Thanks, hope it was helpful.
Nice job
Thank you! 👍
Thank you for the Up Close view -- and for the Detailed process of getting the body off. I too was concerned as a viewer mentioned below that the fenders might want to roll in towards the body and possibly bend --- but -- it worked out. ----- Thank You again for sharing with us. ---- I've got a '70 I want to remove the body -- No lift though!!!! -------- Rodney
the two rear thread are made only for convertible. It's an additional fix for strength. It's not used on standard beetle.
Thank you for detailed bolts that needs to be removed
Thank you so much for a detailed, informative video. Really helpful and enjoyed watchin the entire process. You covered everything completely giving me the confidence to perhaps do my heater channels by myself. I was quoted $7K for this job 10 years ago 😅
Wow, $7K. I charge $1500 per channel. That’s parts and labor.
@@JayDubCustoms wow! It was a sticker shock for me. I was expecting something like 2-3000 tbh. I never looked into it as it scared me to even think about it lol
Very helpful. Thank you 😊
Thank you.
Very interesting video. I’ve always been curious about how to pull the body off.
The straps were pretty clever...thanks for the video
Great video, Thank you for mentioning size of bolts. I am redoing floor pans on a 65 convertible, your video has made the process easier. Thank you
Thanks Steve.
Lovely to see a Jeans Beetle back on the road. Why did I ever sell mine (UMK 740 M) ???
Video good.
Staps against the fenders bad.
Looks good , nice shop ,, just got a 62 ,, may be doing the same ,,, Thanks 👍
Thank you, great video!
Very good video thanks
Thank you!
Super helpful thank you jay
love your shop
Nice work again as always. I was a bit concerned that the straps would tweak the fenders. Would a 3/4" steel dowel/pipe/rod running through where the straps went through to avoid pressure on the fenders? Or remove the bumpers and tie the straps to the bumper supports? Dunno...just a couple of guesses. I'm hoping someday you'll have the opportunity to show how your shop would repair a broken clutch tube mount in the tunnel. The one that's near the e-brake. Got to get to mine someday but I'm chicken. Keep the vids coming please.
Thanks Campion, yes I was concerned about the fenders but I guess the body alone is not heavy enough to cause that. The pipe idea might work, just make it long enough to extend beyond the fenders, but I'd smooth the inner pipe edges so not to cut the strap. I'm about to do a video on swapping from an auto-stick to a manual transmission and that involves changing the shifter rod and shifter. I'll look at the clutch tube mount.
@@JayDubCustoms Hey thanks..I'll be sure to look over your shoulder to see how you cut into the tunnel and stitch it up again. I have a pretty good Idea. I've researched that an access hole should be round and not square due to any possible tunnel metal fatigue at the 90 degree corners. One of my largest concerns is other tubers who have shown this process make not much mention of being sure to drain the fuel line that runs parallel in the tunnel. Good idea when sticking a welding electrode in there I'd say. I think I would also include removal of the shift rod yoke access plate under the back seat and stick a shop vac hose in to suck out the welding smoke when tacking the bracket back together.
Excellent Job, very very helpful 👍👍
Thanks Mike!
Perfect video
I'm doing it myself!!
🤙🤙🤙🤙
Hope this helps.
Great job.
great video
Thanks Jeremy
Wow! That looked easy
Thanks Cyprian!
Thank you sir. I was trying to lift the back side with the exact same problem and you solved it for me.
Nice shop. I picked up a 71 superbeetle convertable that has been sitting inside a shop for 20 years. It needs nearly everything, but the body is good. Floor pans have already been removed and it was prepped for painting. Still not sure if I want to separate those 2 halves or not. Maybe I should just sell it as is.
I'm restoring the same car now.. 71 Super vert. Almost done with it, just needs the top upholstered. Mine didn't require replacing the pan. Your call on selling vs restoring... they're neat cars to work on and a vert will be worth $$ when you're done.
Not bad ⚡️
Thank you.
By chance do you have any video of a body off on a convertible?
I sure don't, haven't done a vert yet.
Thanks for the note!
It didn't show how to remove the springs and shockers are they got to be removed as well?
No, they all 4 are bolted to the pan only. Not attached to the body.
Straps great idea. Now all I need is a shop with a lift. 😦
Ah Heck! Lifted rite off of there.
Will it be that easy to line up and set back on?
Easy peazy. 😆
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Why not just lift by fenders?
Also nice video well done sir
Possible to bend or damage them. Didn’t want to chance it with a customer’s car.
Lift it from the top
Don't wanna chance damaging the top. Not really a lifting point.
