I found it funny when you yelled "FOCUS" at the camera because I found myself sort of daydreaming at the time thinking of my own VW. I kind of felt like I was in trouble for not paying attention for a second until I realized you were talking to the camera. That was awesome! Thank you Marci! I'm no one to pass judgement good or bad but I think you're doing great work here. I'm positive Pickle will see the highway again soon!
haha well...I guess that part was for you then! lol Thank you so much for your kind words...I love this ole bus and I KNOW I will have the biggest smile on my face that first drive...already daydreaming about it!
Today is the first time me and my 87 years old mother viewed and learned of you and your talent. Always nice to see and hear building perspective from young people. I have been viewing and fantasizing over VW buses the last two weeks and your video comes as a recommendation. Very nice that it did. I will fantasize me and mom won the bus. A big kick to see 87 mom with 61 years old daughter kicking it together in this. Then the hard part will be fantasizing her to ride in it on that day. Keep rocking it out.
AWE! That comment just absolutely MADE my day! I'm so glad you stopped in! Much more coming on this old bus...I just love saving old rusty junk! Catch ya on the next one and thanks for being here!
Marci, I like the way you used the phrase “This individual” to get you out of a bit of a pickle there. 😉👍👍
hehe...😉thanks for being here ACE!
@@marcijunebug it’s MY pleasure, Marci, as always. Thanks for all the fun and hard work. 😊
You’re absolutely spot on when you said these buses were not perfect from the factory and I think your set out and execution will see Pickle very strong and in great shape.
It’s a privilege to be part of the progress and thank you for sharing. Love the videos
thank you so much for your continued support, I truly appreciate it! I'm giving it my best go anyway...and I want this bus to be able to hold all my art when I go to shows, etc...so building it where I KNOW it won't fall apart! Catch you on the next one!~
You are a trooper for working in the cold conditions. Pickles will be awesome when finished.
Thanks...my "job" has taken me away from this bus a lot the last year...I'm thankful for the time I DO have to work on it even IF it is cold out...somehow this project makes everything in my world all good again! Appreciate you being here!
It’s all lightning up nicely.
Snow looks great from here, so nice and pretty as it’s 82 degrees today.
He’s sure growing up quickly.
Stay safe and warm!
Thanks man! The "real" job has just killed my "free time" this past year, but there IS a light at the end of the tunnel and I'm finally starting to see it!
Love 💞 the vlog sounds like rain. I love the sound of rain
Great progress... love it when a Marci video pops up....
Thanks so much! Starting to see some shape finally! I'm anxious for warmer weather so I can really work! Finally got caught up on my "real" job and hopefully will have some serious bonding time with ole pickle!
Snow fun when you are young. As the years come and go you learn to watch rather than play although an angel made in snow is still safe
I don't mind snow, but when spring comes around I am certainly ready for it!
You are a trooper Marci. I hate to work outside unless the weather is Sunny, Warm and Dry. Your out there welding in the cold rain under a carport. I give you a lot of credit. Please keep the videos coming 👍😎.
haha Thanks Jeffery! It really is only "bad" a few weeks out of the year! I usually don't mind it until my hands get cold then I'm just done! Thanks for being here and I promise much much more coming on this bus! I got buried with work the last year and am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Appreciate your continued support!
Fun times in the snow... love it 🎅
we love snow, but sadly haven't had any until this one this winter! So we took advantage of it while we had it!
Marci The only thing I would have done is put the ebrake tubes in there before you weld in those square tubes down. it will be really hard to drill those in the side after they are welded. I also use the inner rockers to make sure they stay in line. but the square tubes work great I also used 1.5 x 3 to make the outriggers. just cut them at an angle. works great. Get some cheap ass jack points from bus depot.
On the older buses the tubes were just welded to the bottom of the I-beams, so I plan to treat it the same way. Thanks for the feedback on the other pieces! Appreciate it!
beautiful kid, beatiful dog and great cars. lucky girl.
You are so kind, thanks for being here!
You are amazing .. enjoy watching your channel ..
thank you kindly...much more coming in 2023, got a bit bogged down this past year! but ready to get the ole bus off the rotisserie!
Forward movement, and fitting nicely. What could go wrong, ha!
ehhhh what's the worst that can happen? lol I have to cut something out or reweld...it falls off rotisserie??? I mean...I'm sure it'll be "fine as frogs hair" as my mom says! Thanks for being here Thomas!
Yes you are making progress and mesure twice and cut once. Great video 👍
Yes, Once it's welded I don't want to have to cut it out and redo it! thanks for being here!
love seeing the progress. also like that you chamfer the plug weld holes. cheers MarciJB.
Thanks Dave...I'm hoping once it warms I can really go after this thing! I will have some time in March and April to make massive strides hopefully!
Good to see your progress. Pickle's looking great. We get these crazy temperature swings in the northeast as well.
thanks for being here Tom! Yeah weather has just been nuts this winter! Can't figure out if it wants to be spring or full on winter!
@@marcijunebug seems unfair that we're just sitting and watching while you do all of the work 😃. I'm fascinated by the one wheel trailer. I've never seen them on the east coast.
I don’t know how you work in that kind of weather. Awesome job
Ehhhh it's only "bad" a few weeks out of the year...thankfully! Thanks for stopping in JOE!
Got the floors out of my bay and was surprised that the frame is in good shape. I liked your comment about "throwaway " cars. We have more money in them than original value. You have quite a challenge. Good stuff.
glad your frame is good! That's great news! The People's car...a car everyone and anyone could afford...I find it ironic that it is THAT car that everyone fell in love with...it's almost as if they become family members and we'd do anything we can to save them! Thanks for always being here Charles, I truly appreciate it!
Good idea to use square tube for the floor supports.
HEY MAN! I really debated buying the real deal or the square tube but at 1/10th the cost I went with square tube...and will be stronger for hauling all my art junk around! I put some serious weight in my double cab and plan to do the same with this bus! Good to hear from you!
Still around elbows deep in house repairs atm
great progress! Thanks for sharing Marcie.
thank ya! one bite at a time!
I just found your Channel great job on pickles really enjoying
Thanks for being here, I appreciate it! Once we have internet again (been living without it for quite some time now as we have no option and they are currently installing fiber!) I will be back to weekly uploads! Including ole Pickle the bus!
You got alot done! It's hard when the weather isn't cooperating. It will be warmer soon.
Peace
We've been really fortunate this season...so I'll take it! Yes and with the warmer weather I should also have some more "free time" so I'm super excited!
I saw my name at the start 😀 Great progress there Marci 👍
haha yep! I'm ready for warmer weather so I can really go "great guns" on this bus!
Nice video Marci nice progress wow I love the snow we don't get in in UK like we used to great to see your son playing in it lol
That was our FIRST snow this winter! We usually get at least 2-3 really good snows...unusual to get the first one that "late" in the season! I for one will be glad when it warms up though! I have lots of projects to get done!
@@marcijunebug always a pleasure watching your videos xx
Wow. Your lighting audio and. Video. Are epic!!!!!!
really??? wow thank you! I tried getting a light up in the roof of bus and I do think that helped some...thanks for always being here!
Everything stops here in the UK at the first sight of snow, not many folks have 4x4s, great to see it when it come.
As a family we love snow and I'm the biggest kid out here when it comes to playing in it! ha I wanted to get the old rover out and romp a bit, but just never did! Guess there's always next winter! ha thanks for stopping in Glyn!
View # 5 at 10:38 AM on 2/4/22 - NJ.... Pickles is looking good.
Marci; your work is fascinating. Love your videos! Thank you for sharing and stay warm; your neck of the woods went Arctic a few days ago 😂🤣. Your kid and your doggie are sweet🐶🥰. Killer music too!!
Truly appreciate your kind words....warm days are a comin' and I'll be out burning through the weld wire because I have GOT to get this thing on the road...I'm already daydreaming about that first drive! Thanks for being here...
congratulations
getting there...slowly...but getting there!
Hi Marcie, Another goodun, Man we dont get that sorta weather here in Coffs Harbour. Compared to there it only gets coolish here, so can understand not working in it. The TA looks like hes having a ball tho. See you next time.
we love snow and honestly don't usually get much of it...thankful for the roof of the carport and a kiddo who knows how to have a good time in the snow! See ya next time and thanks for always being here!
@@marcijunebug always a pleasure.
It's all fun and games until Marci snaps a leg bone.
I am sure you would figure out a way to make Pickle wheelchair accessible (could mount welder on back).
bahaaaa yep! For me it is usually me whacking my head as I raise up!
I'm sure I'm not speaking only for myself, but your fans are missing your videos on your 58 bus. I know life happens. Hope we see some again soon.
You better tune in this Thursday then! ha and YES life...I had to pretty massive projects I had to get done for some really good clients, so I just had to Knuckle down and get them done! Now the rest of the summer is MINE (ours as I too have missed you all!) Thanks for noticing ole pickle and I have been missing! Means a lot! cheers my friend!
Hi Marcy, maybe glue a jogging light to your helmet? Pickle is really comming along, good job. 👍
I've been playing around with a clip on helmet light idea...I am often welding in spaces where a little light on the helmet would help!! Thanks for stopping in!
@@marcijunebug Unless the light has a wide angle lens, I run into issues with the helmet light not aiming where I need it (about 50% of the time). When the helmet light does not aim where I need it I use a cheep magnetic led light it works great but does not last. Light makes a big difference in the quality of my welds.
Don’t you love when it really starts coming together. Looking great Marci.
Yes! I don't work as fast these days as I did when Dalton was little! ha He keeps me busy but I get done what I can when I can! Thanks for being here Roy truly appreciate it!
@@marcijunebug when Shane and Tyler were Dalton’s age we were midway into building our camp. Uncharacteristic of me, I had the thought to stop all projects and spend time with them, and use the camp with studded walls and plywood floors. And I’m so glad that we prioritize them. You’ll have plenty of time for projects when he hits his teen years.Not saying stealing a couple hours here and there is bad. Your a good Mom.
This project is getting dangerously close to things coming together at a faster pace. Now if the weather would just cooperate. ☁ Was that a red binder clip on his bicycle that is used for holding playing cards? My dad used to get upset when we did that because he said it loosened the spokes 😊
yes! and I'm getting dangerously close to being...(dare I say)...caught up on my real job thus allowing TIME (which I consider my most valuable commodity) for me to do some really cool things like cameras and dragon flies! 😉
Man that kid is getting big
I know! He's a great kiddo always running at 100% never giving momma a break, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
¨Hi, Marci🇺🇸 just a new step closer to the next one slowly but surely will Pickles the bus piece by piece be reconstructed👍🏻-Nice to see you are working almost under the same weather conditions as I do❄☃👏..greetings.From HCS.Norway🇳🇴☮🙏
I only have a certain amount of "free time" I can work on ole pickle so even if it's cold I work and get done what I can get done! Thanks for being here HS appreciate you!
@@marcijunebug all ways a pleasure to see your progress with ole pickle and your other projects-❤ love your dedication and diligence to do whatever is possible.🙏
It was 72F today in San Diego and I was sweating welding today on my bus, worried about getting sunburn. I am from Buffalo NY so I know how it goes, and I am glad you guys are making the best of the weather!
HAHA well glad its WARM somewhere! lol It's really only "bad" a couple weeks out of the year! I feel very fortunate to be under cover of the carport and to have power to out there now so I don't have to run welder on extension cords anymore! ha life is good! keep wrenchin/welding on that bus!
@@marcijunebug Will do! cut some nasty stuff out of the bus today, little by little..
Hey Marci, thanks for another awesome Vlog!! Ol Pickle the bus is lookin good, considering your weather you are making great progress! The floor is coming out great, way better than new! Of course the best part was the sledding in the end and that fun music! Im looking forward to spring! Lots of projects on my van to get going on!
I will ALWAYS take a break for sledding! One bite at a time on ole Pickle! I will have some "free time" soon to work on it! YYYYEEEAAAHHHHH and the weather will be warming soon!
Some really good progress done there. I can see ghost images of a floor there at times. Hurry up springtime!
yes hurry warm weather...I'm sooo very anxious to get some floors IN!!! Thanks for stopping in William appreciate you being here!
Referring to what is said at the beginning of this video (at 37 seconds): A gorgeous 58 degree day seems pretty appropriate for working on a (gorgeous in the future) 58 VW bus! ;-)
Now back to the video.
haha "I see what you did there" lol thanks for always being here! I truly appreciate it!
Demop Garage UA-cam channel in OZ is also a good resource, as he is working on a1955 Van at the moment .... KInd regards Alex
yep! already following along! Thanks for always being here Alex! Catch ya on the next one!
Girl you need to take weekend and get some tin on the sides of your awning.
haha now if I only HAD a weekend! lol I really don't mind it most of the time...until my hands get cold...then I'm done! thanks for being here man...really enjoying the Baja project and I'm not much of a baja gal so THAT'S saying something!
@@marcijunebug Never wanted one either. But last year the event that went on at the 7D Ranch was a blast and It was really fun off-roading in a bug. So I figured Id give it a try. Ive kinda over done it. Im not certain now if this thing will ever see a trail. LOL
Well that was fun while it lasted…🥶
haha well any day I get to spend time with Pickle is a fun day! Thanks for being here!
looking Good! welding in water seems a little eek?
haha...well guess I like to live dangerously! No, all my cords are up and out of the water at the "joints" so I am TRYING to be careful! Not to say I won't get hurt, but I do try not to! lol thanks for stopping in!
I watch you work on pickle with my piece of pickle the bus. Do you have any pieces left?
I DO have pieces left although there have been 200+ pieces of him sent out, which I think is really awesome! I want to do a "map of pickle pieces" once the project is complete so we can see where all his "family" members are! Thanks for being here and for your support!
Get warm get some soup and a hot coco
Will do! Thanks for being here ED!
If and when Pickle rolls again, will the restored vehicle be close to it’s original weight at the time it was initially assembled in Germany?
If it is say 500 lbs heavier as a restoration, will there be an indication for another class of tire?
I am clueless about the physical features of a 1958 VW Bus, but I assume that the original front wheel bearings on the bus were ball bearings. If you were to find a way to replace these ball bearings with roller bearings, and say, perform other upgrades to the 1958 bus, could it be legitimately classified as a vintage vehicle when such upgrades and restoration is completed?
I am thinking about licensing matters for a restored vehicle in Indiana.
Indiana is fairly relaxed when it comes to such matters and we aren't an inspection state so there should be no issues with making any changes I want to make. I think if there are any differences in weight they will be negligible...funny you mentioned that though because I DO plan to go do a weigh in after its all completed! Thanks for stopping in!
I've watched a lot of your videos and it's nice to see there are other women that works on everything like I do. I don't see how you wear a skirt doing it. My legs would get tore up. 😫 does your husband not ever help you do any work ? I'm sure some one has asked this before .
Well if I don't do it, no one else around here will! lol My husband didn't grow up around "wrenching" so he isn't much of a tinkerer at heart like I am...he likes to drive the old cars and loves old vintage stuff but his area of expertise is wood working and construction so we make a pretty good team! The skirts allow for WAY better movement and are much cooler in the hot humid summers here in Indiana! ha ! thanks for following along on all the projects! catch ya on the next one!
