    Here's a step back in to Pinstriping History! Goodguys TV sat down to talk with Steve Kafka, the current owner of the Original Von Dutch Bus. Steve was more than happy to take us on a tour of the bus and explain why Kenneth Howard, the eccentric artist and pinstriper better known as Von Dutch, has such a strong place in Hot Rodding history.

    Nice to see a fellow artist give credit to his colleague (as deserved) - instead of trying to take the credit for himself. Mr Kaftka seems like a humble man.

    My husband was so ecstatic to see this video. The photo that is shown at the 1:20 mark has his dad in it! His dad was Slimbo who is on the left side of the photo. My husband says that he used to be in that bus all the time when he was young. Thank you so much for posting the video!

      If he’s in Phx I’d be happy to give him the tour, I was told that the interior configuration changed as machines wore out ,and were replaced

    The Shop Bus! He escaped Kali in it and eventually hated living in it then the Buckler's Family let him live in One of Homes. He didn't take it to France for the Le Mann's Movie. Kooler then the Grateful Dead Bus for sure! To bad the Demons got to him.

    It would be appropriate for it to end up at the Petersen's. I guess even for them, the price is a bit steep, to say the least

    You need to talk about how Kenny was always working on the souped up half tracks with McQueen.
