I love your channel and learn so much! If I’m missing the video about this I apologize in advance, but as someone who is starting to restore a 72 bus with very little body work experience, I’d love to see a list of power/pneumatic tools that you are using to do all of this. I’ve just dropped a ton of cash on a welder and training up on drops before I start building the rotisserie and chopping into the bus, and my compressor is being delivered in a couple of days! I’m trying to figure out how to dodge buying unnecessary tools!
Found your channel a few days ago and watched all of your restoration videos. Love it. I'm in the UK. I've got a 1979 Bay Window Westfaia Berlin Deluxe. It's a Californian import it was imported and painted in 2007. I bought it in 2009 and fully restored it in 2010. It's starting to look a bit tired now with a few rust patches. Your skills have inspired me to tackle mine. First, I need to have a clear out of my garage and get it inside. It currently lives outside 🙈
It always amazes me how long such a tiny can take. If you factor in driving to get the piece, removing the piece, reconditioning the piece, installing the piece, then finally priming and painting. I hope that you're keeping track of the time just for sh_ts and giggles. Not that I'm aloud to say anything due to the amount of time that I've put into my bug. Very nicely done as expected.
G’day and greetings from Tasmania Australia, I have been following you for awhile now and for a block that has never done this kind of restoration you doing a great job the only way to learn is the way your doing it. Your making templates which is the best way to go, your a lovely couple and it’s terrific watching you both helping one another, anyway looking forward to the next vlog look after yourselves kind regards John
Love seeing this...did you make one for removing your wiring harness...got a new one for my 71 and have no idea how to remove the old one. Will also be interested to see how to replace the new one. (Also picked up a Corvair engine and trans for mine...!!)
Awesome. You doing great. I’ve got a few days off my bus as I forgot to put gloves on whilst grinding. Dropped the grinder on the palm of my left hand. Wow they are good at removing material. It’ll heal. Be another bus scar. Keep going. Love the videos
Great job! No one knows what goes into this type of restoration, unless you have done it! Great job! Btw im so jealous of your indoor workspace, all my work is outdoors!
It's good to see that you still have access to decent paint stripper! Legislation over here (UK) has left our paint strippers to be absolutely useless...........
That salvaged section cleaned up beautifully and you made it into a really good repair. I'm not sure how effective the seam sealer will be after the welding burnt so much. Best wishes for 2024.
Like your channel! Like your videos are so simple and on point. Like your work. Like your girlfri... Sorry, overwhelmed ;-) Wish you that your welds and everything stay rust free for very long time, so you can enjoy your long hard work when it's done!
yehh welding done, make her all pretty wi paint now, always a great boost, love n peace from Scotland
I gotta catch up on my Vangabonders!!! Hello from Long Island, NY!!!

Another great video. Very helpful, but also making me dread all the body work and rust repair I still have to do on my 73.
Very nice welds
Great channel. Aloha from Hawaii

Hopefully it holds the outer skin from oil canning and didn't burn up too much
bus is starting to look good thanks

Looking minty!
Nice job dude, you've come a long way, best wishes for 24.
Thanks!
Those finger sanders are awesome. How many pieces of purple sanding loops did you use to clean that area up?
I believe I went through 3 of them. I use the 3m brand
Good times 🎉
Top job
Great work waiting for the next video
Also when are you doing another live video?
Where are you getting your finger sander belts? The one's I have only last 30 seconds if I'm trying to grind welds!
Hey was wondering if u can send me the plans for the rotisserie I just bought a 68 VW bus camper.
have you ever lost your mojo with the restoration?
Shame I think in Florida the Paint stripper is banned. Only doing the replacement that’s about as good as a chocolate teapot
We miss you
Nothin like a finger hole.....
😂😂😂
🤗👍👌💯
when using Ospho always wash hands before you go and pee ?
.
Use gloves ?? Oh yeah, same!
Jackyjackridz do it better
