Kombi Life I would love to get a sponsor like this....wow. Been buying VWs for over 20 years. Good luck. Omg I was in the Air Force, at Travis AFB, Vacaville was near me. 1983. Was this free or what was the cost? Its beautiful 👍🙏
It makes me happy to see you get some professionals to tackle getting a van ready to travel around the world. I understand boot strapping it but sometimes you need professionals.
Don't you guys dare give up on this even when it gets hard. This is going to be incredible. ya'll are gonna be famous. Im so excited for you. Stop by Chattanooga Tennessee if you ever get a chance. Safe travels!
Hey Ben, Leah, and Alaska, I just wanted to say this as 2019 starts, and I don't often comment on your videos but I have been watching your channel for about 3 or 4 years and you guys always bring me joy. You guys have also over the years inspired me to adventure and do things that bring me happiness, because you're only young once. Thank you guys so much and good luck with that Kombi Life! Also I wish I could support you guys through patreon but sadly I cant afford it so I hope you know that you have people like me rooting for you and your journey!
AWWWWWWESOME!!!! So stoked you guys had your bus restored by the best, Skinner Classics really looks like awesome people and as amazing craftsman , you guys deserve it. Only the most hardcore VW bus lover would want to drive round the world in one when modern alternatives are just so much better on paper but not in soul 😁
I'm always excited for Thursdays because of you guys! If I had the money to be a patreon partner I would be, but my heart and prayers are with the three of you! Much love!
Great looking van! Crazy, but part of the appeal of your series was you breaking down in the middle of nowhere and finding a way to get back on the road. You have found some really good people on the road. Good luck !
you have the best 5 sponsors in the VW biz! Come to Austin TX on your journey and we have a driveway and shower for you!!! Skinner is the man, he just had our friend MicBergsma there.
I am not going to lie, by the time this was over I was smiling so hard I had tears in my eyes. I have really enjoyed watching this build come together, and you guys have the editing nailed down. On that note this is the first video I have watched on my new 27" 4K IPS display, so I got to see it on a really high quality screen! Boomerang looks amazing!
WOW!! So exciting to see a Big win for the Kombi Crew. And having lived in Norcal/Bay Area for 10 years, I can attest to some of the best and big hearted people that live there. Looks like the Skinner Crew is no exception! Outstanding professionals and Good people! As usual, Ben and Leah bring great people together. =) Thank you guys for sharing your journey with us all!

Seeing all these people help you guys is so cool and amazing! It’s to the point where I’m getting emotional for you guys and I’m literally on the verge of crying happy tears. It’s so cool to see that there are plenty of nice humans out there willing to put aside their time to help out others.
This is so inspiring to watch. Sometimes I feel like I need some rest from working on my van, but I really need to finish all the bodywork pretty soon. Your videos give me so much motivation. Thanks for that 👍 and keep doing great stuff
Love the colors!!!!!!!! I’ve been watching you for years now. Excited for the new adventure to begin! Can’t wait to see the interior finished! Awesome!
Amazing episode! So well documented, and that shop and team is amazing! hope they get a lot of new customers from this video! 54k views in one day? Sure they didn't mind coming in on the weekend ;)
She looks beautiful Skinner Classics did a great job and what a great crew. Congratulations on her paint job. What next looking forward to it. : ) peace
Can't wait to see more, this is the best YT channel out there, just make sure you don't lose sight of the rough and ready charm you first started out with all those years ago. Relax!
I really think you guys should take a couple of weeks and travel trough Norway, when you get to Europe. It’s amazingly beautiful and I really think you’d love it!
You guys are an inspiration, an amazing transformation at Skinner Classics, I am looking forward to following this adventure all the way. Best of luck guys.
Well, I never had an appreciation for Kombi's before I got addicted to your show. Great series! I have a Karmann Ghia that I need to restore and you guys have been an inspiration. I live in CA, so it's good to see the resources available here for VW's also.
Beautiful work Skinner Classics! 👌 I’m exited for what’s ahead for you guys. Your videos are my little escape to dream that one day I’ll do something as exiting as your journey. Safe travels! Until the next video.
I need MOAR!!! I've been watching for years now, I love your stories and journey. I tell everyone I can to watch your channel. I also work on cars and like figuring out how things work for that "just incase" moment. Keep it up guys. Cheers!
Hi great to see you both and still together can you show how you got boomerang I'm 66 years old and I had a Vw caravanett 1973 many years ago we loved it we covered all around the Uk but never been abroad in it but what you are doing inspires me and I will watch your vidios all the time so be happy together best wishes from Colin in Wolverhampton Uk
Nice to see that old mobile sponge now turned into a swan, Good job guys it was nice to see everyone pull together like the A-team to get that big job done, Skinner was some cool guy to lend you the use of his workshop and tools, Well you know how OCD mechanics are with tools. I bet that guy knew where everything was in that shop, Saves a lot of time, And both of them giving up there own time up to help you guys out, They were both a legend. I hope your going to get a good under sealer for the underside of that bus, That to will keep the rust off for years to come
It's so amazing to see how much work you guys putting in to the bus. Hopefully I will see it one day. I don't know if you are planning to go to the Netherlands but if you are I would love it to met you to speak about the most amazing places in Holland. Greetings and keep the good work going.
So glad the paint reveal wasn't a cliffhanger job for next time. Cliffhangers are great for viewer retention but boy I needed to see the colour outcome right now, needed that fix -so thank you... looks showroom stuff. Can't wait for the refit.
#Riny Van Trip#hello ben, fantastic as the show was, I accompany your videos from the beginning, you still have a lot of work ahead of you, I admire your strength and the way they do things .... I wish a very good year for you, I hope one Know them when you come to Europe, congratulations.🚐👌🌴🌅.
Boomerang looks incredible! The Skinner Classics team is the absolute BEST!
We are glad we could help you with the seals! -Your Sponsor
Thanks guys :)

It's starting to feel like a NETFLIX series! Just can't wait for the next episode!
Finally, things falling into place! Getting excited about your journey!
Rushabh Ingle how does your comment 3 months ago
Because he is a patron supporter they get videos early
@@dawg7896 Because he's Indian and he hacked their minds and said 'in 3 month's time, you will upload this :D'
Your the guy who commented 6 months ago on the last video
I don’t think they get videos three months early
It makes me happy to see you get some professionals to tackle getting a van ready to travel around the world. I understand boot strapping it but sometimes you need professionals.
