Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Been following along behind the scenes Don. Cool git-down at your shop! The winner was the winner for sure. The '68 and the late arrival were awesome, two-door Novas are just plain killer but at different level and Beetles are a cool of their very own. Shoulda drug the rat down and mocked it up! Throw a Don'z logo on the door?
To be honest, I've only sub'd your thread like a year ago or so and haven't line-by-line read it through but I think I get the jist. It's going to be a cool truck man! I like your old wheels and tires better though. Sandblast and clear, new white-letter 50's?? Just sayin ![]() I'm no professional or self proclaimed expert but I've fired up a bunch of Chevy's from scratch. Learned some lessons the hard way too. If you have any drama getting this thing rocking be sure and post it up here. I'm on every single day and I'd love to be able to help. The first motor my Boy put together, he primed it the same way. Just didn't have the gauge hooked up and shot oil into his mouth. He's a spitter.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Well, the plan was to fire the engine today… The plan WAS...
![]() Due to the unavailability, locally, of a lower radiator hose along with the shenanigans for some furry creature... ![]() ![]() Needless to say, the intake had to be removed and a handful of little acorns removed... ![]() Will update again once the lower hose materializes… ![]()

Show looks like it went over good.
No pun intended....but that's nuts. It always amazes me the places critters can get into.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Tuesday, when I had planned on the start-up, I realized all the fuel line I had on hand was 5/16ths and the Fuel Filter and Pump have 3/8ths fittings...
![]() So, yesterday, along with the Lower Rad Hose, I grabbed a handful of 3/8ths Fuel Line… Upon arriving home I put the Lower hose on and the Brother-in-law returned with my daily driver and a weird noise under the hood... ![]() Popped the hood, listened to a noise that seemed to be steady yet sporadic… Didn't sound internal, so we switched it off and upon looking found this… ![]() ![]() P/S Pulley gave up the ghost... ![]() I traded a '71 Super Beetle (That I had a total of $50 in) for this truck and about 6 months after getting the truck I had to put intake gaskets on it. At that time I noticed the P/S Pulley had a mark across the grooves. The mark was similar to a mark made by a chisel... ![]() ![]() Luckily, I had on hand an extra pulley, so about 40 minutes later the DD was back in business... ![]() Start-Up coming soon... ![]()

In the infamous words of Igor… "It's Alive!!!"
![]() ![]() ![]() https://youtu.be/NfhAIelI9aY This is my first attempt to load a video and embed it here… Oil Pressure holding just over 50psi at idle… First attempt at cranking resulted in nothing but the starter spinning the motor over… We pulled the distributor and rotated back one tooth, re-installed and she fired right up... ![]() Feeling good, now to re-install cab and get after re-assembly... ![]()
