  1. Good job Chris, watching the correct restoration of the Beetles is very good

  2. sorry but one day your workshop will burn down

  3. How much they cost to replace

  4. If you use a plasma cutter, no other tool will do…they are awesome and faster than a torch…

  5. The klokkerholms are from Denmark. Are those good?

  6. Is it possible to replace sections of the heater channel without removing the body off the pan? The exit ports on the floor have been completely sealed by the previous owner. Thank you

  7. OMG!! you really screwed up a nice rare car! torch?? Im cringing…smh high end restoration shop my ass. Why would you show this to the public? Ive seen better work at the local "local body shop that use a tree as a frame machine.

  8. Using a torch fatigues the metal, only moisture is all it takes for it to rust away rapidly. That's why muffler shops use them… compromise the good pipe to get you back for more $$

  9. the parts zito pereira dont`s best in brasil the best is estriguaru.

  10. Not really, you just have to treat them with a good rust prevention. Plus, these cars will be fair weather cars, they are not going to see the rain and snow.

  11. I wish they'd make some of these fundamental panels, floor pans and heater channels out of stainless steel!!! But I suppose then we mess too much with the originality.

    Have you ever come across alternative materials to negate rot over there in the States Chris?

  12. you should make a vid related to my problem….i would appreciated …..thank you sooo much …..admire your channel keep it up

  13. Glad to see Zito Pereira's Pieces been used is the US. They are very well known here in Brazil. My bug doesn't have the heather channel because it was produced for the tropical area that's where I live, Nice serie Chris!

  14. to bad you dont have a shop here in texas,…..it would be great to take my volkwagen in your care….

  15. Yeah it is most likely the inlet hoses in the trunk where the gas gets poured in. They get moist as time goes on. Might have to replace those. let me know

  16. Hey Chris i have one question for you….i recently bought a classic 1974 VW ….and their is no leak of any kind yet every time i turn the engine on it smells a lot of gas…..is that normal?…..i need your help …thank you rock:)
