JBugs - Father & Son - 1972 VW Baja Bug - Removing the Body

Well, that didn't last long! In the last video, Nate's Baja Bug was driving, and in this video, the body is coming off?! Yes, now keep in mind, the car has been drive-able since April, but it hasn't had rear shocks, the battery can't sit on the passenger side since there is a huge hole in it, and there is simply a bunch of work to do that is much easier to manage with the body off, so Sam and Nathan spend a few hours separating what VW original put together over 50 years ago! Grant it, Sam is regretting not double checking Nate's work as an overlooked bolt cause some trouble, but in the end, the father and son managed to lift the Beetle body free of the chassis and slide it onto a rolling dolly. Then the two discuss some future plans for the project including putting air conditioning in the Bug and widening the front end.

Dude, get a mini-split AC for your garage. Best thing I did in AZ.
