1972 VW Beetle Restoration - Rear Quarter Rust Repair

This 1972 VW Super Beetle is undergoing a full pan off Restoration at Kiddy's Classics in Jensen Beach, FL. - http://www.kiddysclassics.com - Like most Florida Beetle's this one has its fair share rust that needs repair. In this video you will see photos of the step-by-step process of removing the rust, and welding the new patch panels in place for a correct repair. The patches are hammered and dollied smooth and then lead (auto body solder) is used in place of bondo or other plastic fillers for a repair that will last for years to come.

Red VW bug rebuild
Two year body-off rebuild of a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle. The original 1200 motor was replaced with a 1970's twin port 1600 and the gearbox replaced with a swing-axle one from a late 1500 beetle. Body was bare-metalled and the usual rust prone areas were repaired. This is the beetle that I added a narrowed front beam to in another recent video.

Using Body Lead
This video shows how to use body lead instead of bondo. I only had 10 minutes so I put as much as I could that is important. Start with a clean, sanded surface so the tinning butter will bond correctly. This hood was from the 1969 Mustang restoration project from a few years ago. 90% of the body work on that car was done with lead. One you learn how you'll never use bondo again!
