Watched all of your restoration of the single cab. Loved your work, presentation, and humor. Great attention to detail.
its even more beautiful in person!!
great job capturing this restoration.
This is such a remarkable video. I am beyond excited to drive my 1966 mk4 TDI powered splitty bus here in the next few months. I hope to meet you soon brother! Yes, yes, yes!!!!
Pretty awesome job! Not everyone can do that kind of work. You have raised your Karma"Ghia" a couple of notches bringing that VW back to life. Thanks for sharing.
I just found this. I watched about 4 videos back. CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎉🏆🎖!!!!
Sweet Ride! Just look at that nice big smile. Thanks for taking us along for the ride and thanks for showing the process!
Been watching you rebuild the truck! Well done fabulous job. You should be very proud as that is a piece of history to a lot of people!
Thanks so much for your videos! you have a great way of explaining everything you do, love our thinking, thanks so much for posting... the buzz of your first drive... wow !!! cheers again
My like for you,,for these three years of restoration!!!
"I don't know what to do. Everything works!" LOL....
Just stumbled onto your site, all I can say is this first drive and the look on your face says it all!!! NICE JOB MAN!!!
Just beautiful! That Berg motor seems to pull nicely. And I loved the sound of the engine lid as it latched. So solid, so crisp. No small feat. Congratulationsand thanks for the documentation. Still lot's to do with those gates and bumpers and such, but WOW!
you truly deserve this first ride
congratulation for your new truck built by yourself
enjoy it !
"I don't know what to do! Everything works..." Priceless.
Awesome job.
The world needs more people with your skills.
Only skill required is to get out there and do it. I am looking forward to hearing about your new skills.
I'm a hard core old jeep fanatic but nothing compares to the experience of driving the 1963 VW kombi I had 25 years ago. Real nice job on that pickup.
Loved this whole series. Watched through it all. Your videos were great and the detail you showed was excellent. Great job! Must be a satisfying feeling.
Well done looks sensational and your smile was contagious! Loved it!
Great to see! You guys were having so much fun. Awesome. That's what it is all about. I'm going to the garage and do some more sanding now:)
Beautiful restoration.
What an achievement.
That was great, just finished watching the entire work log. I hope to see an update video now that it is 100% complete. Enjoy!
Your smile when driving is is awesome :D Makes me smile as well
I bought a 62 single cab a few years ago, pearl white, white emblem, white bumpers, when l drove it home l did my first dukes of hazzard "yahoo" ever in my life, it was a life's thrill!!!
I cannot believe this is the same van!! You all are amazing!!
congrats with the progress!! nice job so far!
Fantastic...been watching all the way through. Thanks !
Congratulations on a job well done. I don't recall the last time I saw such a big grin.

Congratulations, man! Your car is amazing!!!! Your happiness is visibleI!!! I'm happy for your job!!! Be it so!!!
Congratulations from germany and georgia!
that is a labor of love and a work of art
Very very nice !!!
All the hard work, taking it slow and doing it right paid off at the end.
Being happy and smiling all the way while driving is what it's all about.
Enjoy Funky Truck...
It's not about the car you can buy...
It's about the car you can build !!!
Great work
Hi King de Glide, Just got through with a thanksgiving binge watching of your fantastic restoration of Funky Truck. A Zen treat for sure. [particularly the before and after 2001 (inspired ?) 360 barrel roll shots.] WOW. Talent, good looks, great humor ... BRAVO
I love how he beeps the horn and laughs lol 😂😂 1:06
I drove one of those delivering goods in LA in 1964 on the freeway.
Never got out of the right lane as traffic zoomed around me...what a nice job you did on it.
Awesome project! Love the paint job!!!
I absolutely loved the White Rabbit musical humor at 4:21. Perfect !
Congrats on your hard work! Excellent built machine. My respects to you!
Add some Coker whitewall croslys, and safaris. I promise you, they will hound you at every stop. That's how I'm treated in my 59' combie with all safaris open on real wide whitewall crosplys barring big band jazz from the radio!! I love it. Cheers.
Wow. This made me smile ear to ear. Love this VW!
At first sight i first though this was presented by Gary Busey's lost brother.
That being said , beautiful Bus and very nice looking restoration . and i love those radios. :)
same idea , you posted it already
I'm so happy for you. Ive been there its an amazing feeling!
Wow, that was fun ! I had to watch it twice. I'll bet it has that new bus smell. Congrats, that's got to feel like every holiday wrapped into one. Happy Easter, Merry Christmas, happy 4th, happy Father's day, Happy Kwanzaa, Hanuka, happy Presidents day, groundhog day and, any I forgot.
Super 👍 Mega szacunek i respekt, bardzo dużo pracy
Brilliant......Well Done Dude.......It just shows a bit of hard work gives great rewards...The look on your face says it all. 😀

People are either lukewarm about old air-cooled vws or crazy in love with them. I think your the latter 😃
Me too ! Nice old truck 👍
red.....but still fantastic job...... congratulations congratulations you are absolutely overwhelmed I can tell and I am very happy for you nothing like a car from one's past and a restoration two cheer a man up good on you mate... kind of feels like something has just returned that has been lost for a little while right I've been there...
Grat Job !!! Ich bin froh das es wieder fährt habe viele Erinnerungen an diese Zeit. Grüße aus der Heimat des PKW Deutschland.

congratulations Sir after all this time of restauration one can see your pride about this good job
What a masterpiece, congrats!
I had the opportunity a couple weeks ago to meet Kurt at OCTO/Prado and see the amazing work he did on Funky Truck. What a cool guy and the work he has done on this truck left me speechless. Pretty hard to watch this video and not smile all the way through. JC.
Pretty darn satisfying to roll a vintage VW back out of the garage for the first time under it's own power right?!?! Just awesome!!!
Congratulations, that thing is beautiful.
Excellent work, Great Job !
What about bumpers and some kind of protection for the rear deck?
congratulations, great restoration job... nice van

I have a modern Vw a 2006 Touareg 3.0 tdi which I must say at this point is one of the nicest cars I've owned .
In my heart I know I need a VDub bus in my life .
Discovered your Channel today and love what you have done with the single cab .
I live in the U.K. . Please go check out what Wayne Allman did to his single cab . Look of Mental Breakdown on UA-cam .
That was a scrapper too . It's probably the fastest Drag truck in the uk
Very nice video and awesome little funky truck. Nothing like the satisfaction of building it yourself form the ground up. I have been in love with VW busses all my life. Never in the position to own one. I want one so bad I can taste it. TOO KOOL.
Maravilhosa parabens belo trabalho quero restaurar meu vw fusca 70 e fiquei entusiasmado vendo a sua belissima restauração.
