  • first thing to check is door fitment and how well body lines match, then do the doors open and shut well. i own 2 ovals and 2 1962 ragtop bugs. all the rust your bringing up is quite easily repairable. good tips for the novices though.

  • @bugbugboy for sure. these videos are made for the newbie, I have more difficult tasks in my other videos. This video series is to show common rust areas that even though are pretty easy to fix, can scare the new guy off.

  • What years have the pop out windows?

  • @loveanianimeme they all had dealer options going WAY back.
