Repaired my corrupted video file, it went from 40 seconds of length to 10:44! I got back all my lost video, so here it is! The 1956 chop top VW Beetle's VW Bus rear hatch flange is almost complete! OMG! After evaluating 2 VW Bus rear engine hatch doors to see which one is better i cut the two best halves out and sand blasted the paint off and prepared the to be welded together to be installed in Eleanore! Things are looking great! Removed the body from Eleanore the rotten old 1956 chop top VW Beetle so I could install a 73-79 VW Bus hatch in the rear. I got the VW Beetle body removal done in record time for me, somewhere around 90 minutes or less! No rust makes it easy! I'd like some better access to rear of my 1956 VW Beetle Chop Top Oval for easier maintenance and repairs. I found a rusted out rear hatch and hatch opening from a 73-79 VW Bus that I can graft into the space. This 1956 VW Beetle I received after it spent over 10 years out in the weather after being completely submerged in sea water by Hurricane Ivan back in 2004. This car was almost completely destroyed. If you've followed the ROTTEN OLD 1956 Chop Top Oval VW Beetle series you will have seen just how bad this car was when I began this VW Beetle restoration project. There was no saving it, as it would never be perfect again... so instead I rebuilt it to my own specifications so I could have the VW Beetle the way I wanted since I was a kid. ⚫ You don't have a welding spoon? ⚫ Get one now! ▶https://amzn.to/2PIrRTq ⚫ Get your wide jaw vice grips locking pliers ⚫ Get some now! ▶ https://amzn.to/2RLNFyL ⚫ Eleanore - ROTTEN OLD 1956 Chop Top VW Beetle PLAYLIST ⚫ WATCH NOW! ▶   • ROTTEN OLD 1956 Oval VW Beetle   ⚫ Buy your acid/rust converter here ⚫ Get some now! ▶ https://amzn.to/2ruGW0B ⚫ DUCKMANCYCLES FACEBOOK GROUP ⚫ JOIN THE DISCUSSION ▶   / duckmancycles   ⚫ FOLLOW MY SOCIAL MEDIA ⚫ FACEBOOK ▶   / vvtheduckvv   INSTAGRAM ▶   / vvtheduckvv   TWITTER ▶   / vvtheduckvv   ⚫ MY WEBPAGE ⚫ GET EARLY ACCESS TO VIDEOS AND MORE: http://duckshit.net ⚫ SUBSCRIBE TO MY OTHER CHANNELS ⚫ SkeeterTheDuck ▶    / skeetertheduck   VvTheDuckvV ▶    / vvtheduckvv   DuckmanCycles ▶    / duckmancycles   Theme song (Gearhead) by Kevin MacLeod/Incompetech.com Background Music (Robobozo) by Kevin MacLeod/Incompetech.com
