franken beetle 4x4 pt;3 (it's coming together)
this is a 1974 VW beetle shell with a hodgepodge mix of early and late body parts mixed together. The real kicker is the chassis is a 1955 CJ5 willys. I'm building what Volkswagen should a true 4x4 Volkswagen beetle that can be driven on the road or out in the woods.

this is a 1955 Jeep willys frame and running gear. The frame has been stretched out 18 in to accommodate a 1974 Volkswagen beetle body. so far this week my goal is to see how cheap and safe I can build this rig and so far I've kind of started accomplishing my goal ordered $100 worth of critical parts to hopefully get this motor to fire off permanently and we have the body finally sat on there. ...

I'm building a franken beetle which is made up of a 1955 CJ5 chassis and running gear. I'll have the ability of having three-speed with 4x4 feature and high and low gears. I have an original four-cylinder motor and all the original running gears. I'm going to extend the frame 18 in and built-in gussets to help strengthen it into a good 3 and 1/2 ft of boxed frame. I'll be running fiberglass Baj...

redoing the sand rail which was made from a 1965 Volkswagen beetle with a 1600 dual port motor. this thing is completely done driving and running. I ended up redoing the fuel system and now I'm about to redo the carburetor and fuel pump so it's a complete fresh and maintainable on the road. it's all about putting ingenuity and a little forefront into your build and you can make anything happen....

sandrail rebuild and upgrade pt1
Переглядів 51Місяць тому
this is a old rail buggy that I built 17 years ago. I used a 1965 Volkswagen beetle as the donor on the spare chassis. after the last 7/8 years it's been outside in the weather uncovered and the weather has taken toll on it. it's time to clean it up do some upgrades and bring it into the modern age. there's nothing like taking a dune buggy off-road trail riding in the woods are Old county road.
V8 Astro tuned perfect
Переглядів 593 місяці тому
I got the cooling system completely hooked up, also I went through and did the fine tune on the timing. right now she is very spot on running perfect I cannot complain. the thermostat opens right about 180 and it ranges at 180 to 190 at idle. holding about 40 lb oil pressure at idle this thing is running pretty darn good.

What you need to do is grab a kayak and go and play already. Why are you standing around complaining?!?
I don’t know exactly how to go about fixing your yard than digging a ditch and leading it somewhere for the water to run off you could easily get some crushed base and put up underneath your barn to bring the grade up and dig a little trench around the back of it so water runs off of it and doesn’t stand around your equipment
@@poonslayer8949 it's funny this morning I got out there about it it's all dry. The way my property slopes it all goes from one Creek straight to the other and drains pretty darn good. And 7 years I've only seen it do it twice where one Creek or overflow the road getting over to the other Creek.
Hou much
I spent $99 USD. But that's like 8 years ago
If any of you come across a LK3054 or LK 2554 that being parted out I'm looking for a steering sector. I need your help to find one.
If you search Google you will come across a lot of them that are being parted out in the Midwest. I'm trying to get my four-wheel drive working and that's what I'm going to end up doing to find the parts.
Does it work with motorcycle tires?
No, you have to buy the motorcycle changer that can mount to the unit. Thanks for watching...
I'd make it into a mini A- team van.
I like that idea 😁. Thanks for watching...
Niiice! I'd give my left one for that vehicle. Astros rock! ✊🏻
Thanks for watching...
Very cool.
This is a how to, on how to make a hard to work on vehicle harder to work on.
Lmao, you're absolutely wrong buddy. The computer is gone and everything is so simplified now. Mechanical gauges no electronics it's the bare basics to make this vehicle run. Thanks for watching...
@@massis32210 changing plug is now easier? Exhaust gaskets eaier? Intake gasket is easier?
@@philipallen7956 lol, no the spark plugs suck. But actually doing the intake gasket is actually now more fairly easy. Even the exhaust gaskets weren't that hard to put in. The only reason I'm saying it's easier is more of the factory stuff is not removed to open up the engine all the way around.
You missed his point @@massis32210
@@massis32210 lol i hate doing basic work on astro vans. Dig the v8 conversion tho
It's an Engine NOT a Motor!!!! But very cool.
Lol, in the south we call it all engines. Thanks for watching...
@@massis32210 I'm originally from Louisiana and Mr. Washington Head instructor at the Vo-Tech I went to burned that into our brains, if it's mechanical it's an engine if it's electrical it's a motor just something that has always stuck with me. Cool project I can't wait to see more of it!!!!
@@MrTubbyTubb76 I see we have a couple things in common, I went to a tech school in Jacksonville Florida that's where I learned a lot of mechanical. But you're absolutely right, it is an engine and not a motor. Stay tuned I'm definitely going to make more videos on this.
@@massis32210 Very cool sorry for the late reply I've been offline for a while with a small medical issue. I'm very much looking forward to seeing where this goes. I dropped a follow and turned on notifications to make sure I see them!!!!
I'm here because even my iphone listens to me and sends it to Google/YT. Cool build.
Thanks for watching... I appreciate it.
Good for you. I'll take the next one.
That’s amazing. Cool garage built cars like this are unmatched in character. Especially when it’s something like a Astro van
I really appreciate your comment thank you so much.
How it should have been from the factory
That should have been an option. Thanks for watching...
That's the right engine for that Astro
I think you're absolutely right, VA in a 5-speed that thing should be very Pepe.
I've had a couple different Astro Vans .... Some guy made a video of a two-tone Brown when they had a small block in it and it was hauling ass! I can't wait to see you go run that thing up and down the road!
Hopefully soon I'm ready for that first run... Thanks for watching...
I bet that will be a blast to drive
I'll find out soon, drive shaft getting made in the morning.. thanks for watching...
The bracket on the top of the motor is supposed to be the coolant resivor.
I would have to look on my reservoir is on the radiator.
Do you have a video of the complete build? I have the same truck and want to do the same thing.
I don't believe I made a video on building this truck. It's pretty much bolting the motor to the adapter if you can find one and then bolting the motor down to the truck like the nitro motor would have been mounted. But I will warn you now that a motor and ESC will have more torque than the original nitro motor. That said you will strip spur gears left and right. I sold my original model but I'm planning on buying another one and keeping it as a nitro, for nostalgia sake. Your hardest part of this project is to find that adapter. I started out with two and I finally found one of my original ones. If you can find them you found gold.
I'm working on a hack job of a rail. My clutch won't engage. I can start it in first and float to 2nd but 3 and 4th are a no go
Out of curiosity does the clutch cable go straight to the arm, the reason I asked when I built mine I had a local VW shop go over it and they had a piece of tubing that had a slight bend to put preload on that arm. Something about the preload it has to have in order to engage the clutch properly. You might be able to rig up something to have a passenger reach back and engage the clutch lever for you and tests to see if that clutch is truly engaging properly.
Bought 1 today: wasn't able to remove the tire, because I live in a 2 story apt building,(no concrete floor to mount 2, plus it's someone elses property) but was able to break the bead, in order to change a valve stem. Harbor freight has some pretty decent stuff. The balancer is pretty decent as well. I purchased 1 a couple of years ago...👍👍👍
I've seen where people would buy these plastic pallets and bolt it right to it. That way in a case like yours you can take it inside if you chose to or put it in a storage room. Thank you for sharing.
You didn't explain where you plugged the battery into on the receiver. You just said you put a wire going back to a battery pack
Your battery pack will have a plug identical to your servo. You would run it to the receiver and plug it into the slot on the receiver that has batt it should be marked on the receiver. Hopefully that helps you.
So let me be the one to clear up the information that’s been provided in this video. I lived at the boys home in the 90’s. This place was opened in 1914 the place didn’t close shortly after Mr. Borg died. It ran for YEARS after his death. The Boys home fell behind on property taxes and JU bought it. Wasn’t abandoned it was bought.
Bluetooth phone number is the machine is purchase is ahmednagar Indian God machine
Great job on the video
Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
Just a fyi i bought a adapter that goes on the trans side and can give you up to a 1inch or 3/4 of adjutment. You get ur measurment like he did cur it and screw it on in the tube
😂😂😂
Lmao 🤣 I know structurally sound right.
When I was 6 years old I lived there untill 1975 I was 13 years old. This video brings back a lot of memories I'm glad someone unrecorded it thank you mangos bless.
It's so unfortunate to see this place is gone and disappeared from memory. Jacksonville University bought the property and expanded the college over. In high school I had a lot of friends that lived there. Thank you for watching...
What color is the 3 worse u use and where do they hook
I did this video so long ago it's hard to remember the color combination. If I remember right I used the test meter to figure out the polarity of the positive and negative and if I remember right the third wire is a trigger wire. Was this type of setup as soon as the keys turned on the pump instantly comes on. Unfortunately the trigger feature is usually eliminated. Without a proper pump from Honda there is no way to use the trigger feature wire. I appreciate you watching this video.
Nice job!
Thank you, I appreciate the comment..
all depends on your end goal,on road or strictly off road, if you gonna go "the jug" route kabota, if you go with a after market "jeep" body then original engine
I value your opinion, I'm thinking of going with a stock motor rebuilt or find a good running motor.
need to strip the engine down and see what is wrong with it, a 4cyl diesel would be a killer off-roader engine, that torque you could climb the side of a house
I'm very interested in seeing what is broken inside. I'm wondering if the last owner broke a wrist pin or bent a rod. As far as the diesel I believe you're absolutely right, the amount of torque would be massive. Thank you for your input I appreciate it.
Really 900 is a fine deal . Tractors ain’t cheap.
Lol, when he said 900 I was like when can you deliver it.
Threat eliminated
Lol, no smell left..
Rebuild the original
That's what I was thinking, nothing like keeping an old school and simple. Thanks for watching..
Where are you located? I could use those old wheels you took off. I am near the Dallas Ft Worth area. Thanks
I'm in North Florida right by the Georgia. Three of the wheels are 15 and 1 wheel is actually a 16. I'm actually wondering if those are tractor rims to begin.
I think putting the VW on that frame will make it pretty cool
I appreciate you watching my video. Subscribe to more videos.
interesting build, 4x4 "JUG"
I really like that name. If you don't mind I'm going to use it. Thank you so much for watching.

Good stuff keep it up
Thank you I appreciate that, the next video I'm putting out on this project is complete redo. Stay tuned.
Looks good!
I'm going to start filming today and hopefully test riding in 2 days...
Hell yeah looks like a fun project I think you can fix it and if any of the metal is to rotted, you could even re-sleeve it with a slightly wider bar
I believe you're right that was the idea to receive and redo the rotted metal. Lol I just have to make sure I can handle a rollover because I definitely want to add more power.
Lol! I really thought you were wearing a mickey mouse hat.
Lol, never underestimate me. Thank you so much for watching...
I didn’t even mount mine to the floor. Worked great
Since I've made this video I've moved to my new shop and I definitely mounted mine to the floor. Once in awhile you will get a super thick side wall that you will need it bolted down to be able to break and to be able to remove the tire. Thanks for watching...
Did I see an open relay under that black cover? One little gas leak and POOF! Thanks for the video! You may have just saved my motorcycle. :)
Thank you so much for watching my video. Sometimes when you can't find factory stuff a little rigging works just as good lol.
I have always wanted to build a trike. The only problem is that I have never been on a motorcycle before. I plan to build it with my own imagination.
With your own imagination you can build anything that you want. I'm in the process of building a slammed Astro van with a 5.7 V8 and a 5-speed manual trans. I would definitely tell you to get familiarize with motorcycles before hopping on a trike. Trikes definitely rod completely different than your average motorcycle. There's nothing out there stopping you from achieving your dreams. I appreciate it you watching my videos thank you so much.
Great job
Sorry for the late response, I appreciate it those four wheelers are pretty fun.
@@massis32210 they are. I use mine to haul firewood every year. Across streams, up hills dragging small fire wood poles. She isn’t as polished but the wood gets to the landing.
