    Actually, you didn't need to pull the front axle to install the steering gearbox. You could have unbolted the steering column and pulled it into the car a few inches, install the new box, then slide the column onto it. I had to do this on my '67 Bug a few years ago. For someone who's never owned a Bug before, you're doing a fantastic job.

    You probably gave that Bug another fifty years of life as long as the new owner does'nt run it into a river and drown it.

      Don’t you know bugs float if you seal up all the holes in the floorboards. I grew up near Houston and it flooded every so often. This was in the seventies when Beatles were still common. Wasn’t uncommon to see a Beatle go floating down the street during a flood. If the water wasn’t moving to fast, just floor the gas petal and let the tires propel you along. You could get up to 4 or 5 knots.

    Great video, Sarah. The Beetle is really taking shape and looks great. BTW...I ran in to some guys from the Mustang Club of Tucson over the weekend. We were at our club's show called Mustangs by the Bay. Your name came up and they know you and where your shop is located. They also know about your Ranger. We agreed that they should talk to you about entering it in Fords OFF Fourth. So, they said they would hit you up to enter it in the show. We all agreed that it will be a guaranteed winner in its class. Keep up the great work.

    Time flies when you're having fun (or working your ass off)! You should wear 'classic rock' Tees more often; I feel it adds a certain 70's flavor, to the robot butt-plugs and fugacious flying fasteners. CHEERS!!!

  • @erichinkle8522
    @erichinkle8522 Před rokem +3

    Hey... Gotta tell you a secret... If your shop is clean then no work is getting done. Best to hope for is keep your tools where they are supposed to be and then once a quarter have a straighten up day.
    As for the bug... It's looking great. I have no idea what the lean of an off road big should be but considering the engine is in the rear I would think that would be slightly higher... It will be fun to drive but a shame to get totally pigged up on day one off road.

    Sarah, did your droid buddy pass on to the big room above where dust is no longer? Been missing the penguin interludes too. If you'll be using paint-cans in the future, take a look at spending just a dollar or two on one of those paint can 'paint gun' sprayers you insert into the can. Makes using a paint-can so much easier.

    The steering box will go right in from the bottom without lowering anything. You just have to have the pitman arm and the input shaft coupler off of it. Then put them back on once the box is on. They can only go on in one position.

    This may be obvious but if you are working above shoulder height, your gloves need to come _over_ your sleeves to prevent them acting as big funnels directing everything that falls from above directly in to your armpit & beyond. Taping the glove to your arm just gave the chemicals a clearer run towards your belly button! Tape your sleeves to your wrists & go for some gauntlet style gloves :-).

    If there is a 3” difference in the two tire heights, you only get about an inch and a half lift out of it. The center points will be the same giving you 1.5” on top, and 1.5” on bottom. I know, you were just excited when you said that, but still.
