The Ragtop Express | Episode 2 - Chassis | 1963 Volkswagen Beetle Project

1963 VW Beetle Ragtop Restoration Project! In this episode, I build a 2" narrowed front bean for my 1963 VW Ragtop Bug. I change the bushings and other rubber parts around the transmission. I also rebuild the brakes and mount some new wheels and tires.
