Excellent video! Thanks!
I find it odd that the front wood bow is what looks to be particle board. Particle board swells and crumbles if it gets wet. Will the top material properly seal this piece from humidity and wet weather?
Hello Chris Vallone, I know what I’m about to ask has nothing to do with this video but I’ve been stumped with a problem on my VW Beetle, for some reason I’ve been through a couple 34 pict carburetors and they have all leaks from the same area and that’s the shaft that leads from the pump on the carb through to the Accelerator arm near the cable. AND it only leaks when it’s shut off! I’ve tried
•Adding shims to the float for early shut off
•rebuild kit(s)
•replacing the (non-integral) fuel pump with a new stem piece.
But for some reason it’ll still leak after it’s shut off and then it’ll flood the engine and have a hard time starting
Parabéns bom trabalho
Great video. Good luck chris
Did mine on my 62" because nobody local would touch a bug top. ready to do again.
Great video! If I ever buy a convertible this will be a big help. Thanks for sharing Chris!
this is a really really important how to video series! So few shops will touch a beetle convertible top and doing it yourself is sometimes the only option you have. Nice work Chris, can't wait to see the rest of the videos.
Very nice!!
