    A heads up for future content. I am putting together a series on autobody / restoration basics and techniques. This will not replace the VW project, but rather supplement the channel by adding some additional content especially focused on those who are learning the trade and/or hobby of restoring cars. If there is something you'd like to see more detailed in a future video PLEASE let me know in the comments and I will add it to the list. Next week's video is about the bare minimum tools you will need to get started along with a few money saving tips. Thank-you very much for watching and I hope you have enjoyed the content.

    Smart move using that perfectly good section from the old frame for the extension. I imagine that strap idea would have taken a lot longer than theorized to make work.
  • Good job interested in doing my own body work. Basics will work for me, tools setting up welder, metal gauge, etc

    Yes, frame restoration entails much work. I'm restoring a 78 FJ40 frame to use in a project to make a FJ45 pickup with vids on my new channel. To have a really good frame base I'll need to take out the inner frame rails, lots of rivets, to get to the inside of the outer frame rails.

    What happened to the fuel line, it was dangling in the way and then removed?
