FIRST START in 40 YEARS! Will it Run & Drive? 1959 VW Beetle

After sitting since 1985, it's finally time to see if the old 1959 Ragtop Beetle I got in the Double Cab trade will actually come back to life. Parked since 1985, It wasn't easy—between a massive storm rolling in and some unexpected valve issues, we had our hands full. Stick around to see if we can get the old car off the jack stands and out for its first drive in four decades! Huge thanks to Josh for the help (even if he was pooping on the car earlier!). Let me know in the comments: What valve clearance do you run on your 36hp engines? .004, .005, or .006? #willitrun, #vwbeetle, #firststart
