Now I know the reason behind the missing panel on passenger side. Jerry can for gas tank? Fantastic idea. It doesn't look out of place sitting in the bed. Great build!!!
Such a work of art!! Really enjoyed the series and can’t wait to see it put to work, I love watching that thing drive around, I could say so many things on here but it would take forever to type it.. let me just say I am truly impressed with your skills and have learned a lot from you thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Thanks man! I really appreciate it 🙂 It’s been a fun build and I have learned a lot building it. I’m now looking forward to using it around my property. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!
I have been following this project from the start, due to my interest in model cars. I love how you have created something that is simultaneously a large-scale model and a practical tool. Thanks for bringing us along with you on this project.
Top job Mike. Been waiting for the final chapter. Great to see the little beast finished. Looking forward to your next challenge. Take care and keep dry.
It's good to see a project actually finished. Most guys show the major parts of the build and then show it completed six months later. You showed us everything you did and told us why you did it that way. truly appreciate your efforts. And the Pinz looks great!
Great job Mike ! One of the best build series I've seen on any project. It's also probably the most unique projects I've ever seen. Looking forward to the next project.
Mike, way to go. Love the finished product, you continue to amaze me with your skill set, now you mastered sewing, what’s next. You seem to find a need and then master the skills to fill it.
When you first showed the clapped-out Polaris 6-wheeler that you started with, and described the project, I was hooked. You've taken this little vehicle a long way since then, and I've loved every episode. Congrats on the Singer! I know a parachute rigger who has some much like it, and it'll handle a lot more than what you did here. Thanks a bunch, Mike!
My Gosh Mike, I felt proud watching these 'road test' vids, and I'm just watching. I imagine you're feeling super proud of the finished product! Great job! Subbed to Vass--customs channel
I’m definitely happy to have finally finished this build, It’s been a lot of work and I have learned a lot building this mini Pinz. Definitely looking forward to using to for work around my property! Thanks for checking out my build series man! 🙂👍
Happy for you to see this project wrapping up! Awesome project to follow and it turned out great. Please keep us updated with how it ages and future mods!!
Mike another build series I think you or your subscribers might enjoy, My friend is building a stretched TJ gladiator on portal axles, he is based in Sweden and he is an Engineer for Ohlins shock company. Pretty top notch work he does as well! Recon Jeep Mods is the channel
Fantastic job there Mike. Love the build. Maybe a removable frame for a canvas cover over the back sometime down the line since you have the industrial sewing machine. But regardless perfect! Caught a glimpse of what looks like a BMW 2002 in the background. Is that going to be featured soon?
The seat back and the fabric wall really do finish things off nicely. I’ve enjoyed this series of vids, thanks for taking the time to document the build and edit all the vids.
loved the build series. i was hoping for a windshield and wipers, because i'm about to build a cab for my tractor, and i wanted to see how you handled that.
Great work, Mike! This has been one of my favorite build series. Thank you for making these videos for us to follow along! I’m really looking forward to more footage of it being used around your place. One good thing about our more cool and wet year is that we have a possibility of a less smokey summer!
Do you know what is worse than all the rain we had in western WA? When Jefferson county makes one install a Septic Nitrogen filter bed the size of an Olympic swimming pool, then watching the filter pump all the rain water it collects to the drain field. Arghhh
Mike, you are a craftsman for sure and be able to figure out most every challenge! I have been inspired and challenge to get out and doing things for myself. And I am 58 yrs old! Thanks for the extra work it takes for taking us all along on your journey!
You really killed it on this build! Funny enough the predator dirt bike brought me to your channel, several years back! And the quality work and tips, keeps me coming back.
This has turned out sooo good! I have absolutely loved watching this project come together. As always, amazing job Mike! Can't wait to see this machine in action, and the builds to come in the future! P.S. This is Danny from previous comments on the videos!
No I don’t plan on doing any of those things. Have you seen my Suzuki carry? It already has that and is capable of 60MPH. The mini Pinz is just to be used at slow speed on the trails around my house, basically the same as a utility SXS.
I like the home made iron to add a crease into the canvas before sewing it. It is ingenuity and understanding a problem and/or a need and solving it with what you have.
Congratulations on the completion of another wonderful project. I hope you get many years of use out of it. I'm looking forward to the next series. Take care.
Thank you for letting us join you in this project 👍. This is a great looking vehicle, I really love it.😍 About the ironing: as long as it does the job, it can't be wrong.👍👍👍
👏👏👏I thoroughly enjoyed every episode of this awesomely fun build! Your creative drive, skill set, tastefully mellow and quite relaxing music choice and your overall chill straight shooter vibe was always something to look forward to. Loving your channel and I’m in it for the long-haul. Thank you much good sir.
In the grand scheme of things, this build really didn’t take that long. Especially with work and all the other projects you do. I am really super impressed at how this build turned out! Excellent job!!!
skillsets…I laughed when I saw you “ironing” and sewing, instead of welding and grinding. Thought of my Dad when he made a 6’x12’ snooker table. Had to learn how to crochet, in order to knit the pockets for the poolballs, lol! Cheers, really liked your mini series and build!👍🇨🇦
As always a great series. In it you introduced your new roller which made it for me. Behind the scenes was excellent video, music and editing skills! Great work on a fun project.
I like the practical approach you used in this build. I also like the fact that you hid the dodgy white stitching in the canvas with paint, also very practical.
I’ve been to Pinzgau in Austria many times but never seen one of these. Been enjoying your welding videos. Take a look at the Haflinger which is what the Austrian army used to use. Apparently the MOST agile off-road vehicle ever. Better than LandRover, allegedly. Perhaps I’m biased.
Thanks for the upload dude, the blow torch and box section of tube is why I watch these videos man..:) super cool machine, and can’t wait to see the next one..:)
Loved the entire build Mike.I did cringe when you didn't use sealant at the edges of the plastic behind the seat.Water will run in at some point.Really glad you have the new sewing machine.The canvas and window came out good too.Thank you for all your hard work,and the skills you share.Happy Trails.
Fantastic build. You are the coolest guy on UA-cam, hands down. Also, way to keep it classy without a sponsor. Because of your channel, I dream bigger than I used to. Thank you.
It was an awesome build series to watch! Thanks for all the content. You really impress me with how many different skills you are willing to learn outside of your main welding skill, including, but not limited to, upholstery, painting, and now sewing! Keep up the good work!
Hi Mike! I just got my yeswelder mig-205ds and my bestarc btc500dp plasma cutter and my shop has finally finished, cant wait to move my 71 duster in to the shop from the car port and start the rebuild. Thanks for putting out great content, i enjoy your videos and you're right, for the money, you cant beat the welder /plasma cutter i got.
Great project and truly enjoyed all parts and did achieve title of master fabricator for micro vehicles conquering all terrain, yet do wish if you could ever build something new that isnt off road related but still in same field of your expertise .. ever tried having a micro car powered with a bike engine, like same old bike engines and micro vehicles but for the streets rather than off road, thats a build i d love to see u make and kinda changes skin some for the channel!
Great job, it looks amazing and seems like it'll last a lifetime! The articulating dump truck was really awesome too, can't wait to see what you accomplish with these vehicles and your future endeavours!
Mike I have enjoyed watching this truck come together. It is awesome. You did a great job. I started watching your channel when you were building the dump truck. Both are awesome. Good work. Can't wait to see what's next.
I’ve really enjoyed this build. Thank you for taking us along. And I enjoyed the manly man iron. LoL
Now I know the reason behind the missing panel on passenger side. Jerry can for gas tank? Fantastic idea. It doesn't look out of place sitting in the bed. Great build!!!
Thanks Ryan!!!
It deserves a windshield!!! Awesome project!
Thanks for bringing us along for these finishing touches! I also have had projects that take years to see through but it’s always worth it in the end!
It blends in with the forest! Nice job Mike! That was a fun build.
Such a work of art!! Really enjoyed the series and can’t wait to see it put to work, I love watching that thing drive around, I could say so many things on here but it would take forever to type it.. let me just say I am truly impressed with your skills and have learned a lot from you thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Thanks man! I really appreciate it 🙂 It’s been a fun build and I have learned a lot building it. I’m now looking forward to using it around my property.
Take care and have a wonderful weekend!
Great series,really enjoyed the build probably almost as much as you will enjoy using the such a useful machine for everyday chores,cheers.
That surface prep tool works very well for rust removal! Your sewing turned out great. I would say the Mini Pinzgauer project was a huge success!
Incredible series. Loved every minute
I have been following this project from the start, due to my interest in model cars. I love how you have created something that is simultaneously a large-scale model and a practical tool. Thanks for bringing us along with you on this project.
Thanks Keith!!
Top job Mike. Been waiting for the final chapter. Great to see the little beast finished. Looking forward to your next challenge. Take care and keep dry.
enjoyed this series and the other ones you made.
Mike one of the best vehicle build series on UA-cam!
Thanks Sean!!
Nice! Loved the back window. Sometimes you gotta just keep it simple. The jerrycan really blends well. It has been a great build to watch.
Thanks!
Thanks for watching 👍
Another awesome build and series.
It's good to see a project actually finished. Most guys show the major parts of the build and then show it completed six months later. You showed us everything you did and told us why you did it that way. truly appreciate your efforts. And the Pinz looks great!
Thank you!!
Mike, Great video as usual. Don't change a thing! Love the music and the mellow style! Seems you are not afraid to tackle anything new! Best to you.
Thanks Chris
Such a nice job man..well done Mike...was gonna comment about the wheels but ya noticed lol..look forward to the next one!
What an awesome little machine this turned out too! Congratulations!!
Since you live up north I would have added door curtains and a wind shild for those rain days. And for the cold days I would have added a heater.
Great job Mike ! One of the best build series I've seen on any project. It's also probably the most unique projects I've ever seen. Looking forward to the next project.
Thank you !
The mini Pinzgauer came out real nice!
Mike, way to go. Love the finished product, you continue to amaze me with your skill set, now you mastered sewing, what’s next. You seem to find a need and then master the skills to fill it.
ha ha thanks Chuck!!

Great series Mike

That’s my brothers car
oh, OK. Still looking forward to what your next build is, whatever it is :)
Great job sir! You have a nice little utility vehicle that will last you for years and get you anywhere you need to go!
Thanks man 🙂👍
Mike what it the name of the fitting you used in the tank for the gas line?
I need that fitting for a plastic tank I'm putting in my old backhoe
The seat back and the fabric wall really do finish things off nicely. I’ve enjoyed this series of vids, thanks for taking the time to document the build and edit all the vids.

Thanks for checking out my new video Dan! Yes hopefully we don’t get smoke this summer. Take care and have a great weekend 👍
Do you know what is worse than all the rain we had in western WA? When Jefferson county makes one install a Septic Nitrogen filter bed the size of an Olympic swimming pool, then watching the filter pump all the rain water it collects to the drain field. Arghhh
Sitting in Norway and enjoying the Pinzgauer build, and then you start talking about a Norwegian builder. Will definitely check it out 😊
Thanks for choir my new video! Yes definitely check out that recommended channel from Norway 🇳🇴 it’s good 👍
Mike, you are a craftsman for sure and be able to figure out most every challenge! I have been inspired and challenge to get out and doing things for myself. And I am 58 yrs old! Thanks for the extra work it takes for taking us all along on your journey!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel David!!
Thank god you were wearing safety glasses while you were sewing 🧵 well done brother
Haha I figured it’s good just in case the needle breaks. Thanks for checking out my new video 🙂👍
You really killed it on this build! Funny enough the predator dirt bike brought me to your channel, several years back! And the quality work and tips, keeps me coming back.
This has turned out sooo good! I have absolutely loved watching this project come together. As always, amazing job Mike! Can't wait to see this machine in action, and the builds to come in the future!
P.S.
This is Danny from previous comments on the videos!
Thanks Danny!!
Awesome vid mike!! Glad to see it all done and it looks great! I can only imagine whats next and i look forward to it🍻
Thanks Joe! It definitely feels good to finally have it finished🙂 I have some ideas of projects that I will probably start on in the fall 👍
Mike, it turned out great! I’ve really enjoyed watching the project.
Thanks Mark
Mike this is one of my favorite series on youtube.
Thanks Rod
I am looking forward to more sewing in the future! Also, that satin paint blend you mixed up turned out really nice!
It's been a fun build man👍loved watching it
Needs a windshield and canvas window enclosures for the doors in bad wet weather
No I don’t plan on doing any of those things. Have you seen my Suzuki carry? It already has that and is capable of 60MPH.
The mini Pinz is just to be used at slow speed on the trails around my house, basically the same as a utility SXS.
Wow mate best build ever I look amazing can't wait to see what you build next hopefully something fast 😜
finally i got to see the finished product ! great build !
Thanks Mike. That was a fun series. I watched it unfold from the when you posted the first episode, along with all the in between unrelated videos.
I like the home made iron to add a crease into the canvas before sewing it. It is ingenuity and understanding a problem and/or a need and solving it with what you have.
Great job on the pinzgauer. I look forward to your videos on Fridays. They're a good way to wind down the week
It's hard to believe that it was once a Polaris 6x ATV . Great job and definitely a one of a kind.👍👍
Turned out awesome! My favorite so far. Looking forward to the next chapter. 👍🏼
Congratulations on the completion of another wonderful project. I hope you get many years of use out of it. I'm looking forward to the next series. Take care.
Can't wait for next build, duder! Nice score on the sewing machine, too. 😁✌️
This was actually such a sick build series!!! Well done mike
Thank you for letting us join you in this project 👍. This is a great looking vehicle, I really love it.😍
About the ironing: as long as it does the job, it can't be wrong.👍👍👍
Remember Mike, it's not stupid if it works. it may be funny, but it surely isn't stupid. well done!
Thanks man 🙂👍
👏👏👏I thoroughly enjoyed every episode of this awesomely fun build! Your creative drive, skill set, tastefully mellow and quite relaxing music choice and your overall chill straight shooter vibe was always something to look forward to. Loving your channel and I’m in it for the long-haul. Thank you much good sir.
This thing turned out so cool, so much work put in. I hope the youtube algorithm goes more in your favor sooner or later.
I want to be Mike Festiva when I grow up! Really enjoyed this series and learned a lot. Thanks Mike.
Thanks Joel 🙂👍 I really appreciate it!
I've seen this one from plans to completion, what a nice trip! Good work, Mike!
In the grand scheme of things, this build really didn’t take that long. Especially with work and all the other projects you do. I am really super impressed at how this build turned out! Excellent job!!!
Both this and your articulating mini dump are very good series. Keep up the goodwork
Looks awesome Mike. Love that you gave sewing a go as well.
Thanks for the channel recommendation.
Great build really enjoyed it
Thanks for checking out my mini Pinzgauer series 😊👍

Quality finishing touches to a cool machine… hands-up who wants one too! ✋✋✋✋✋✋✋ Cheers!
What’s next Mike?! Your builds are awesome, love watching the work you do.
Super awesome build Mike! Going to be hard to top this one. 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
skillsets…I laughed when I saw you “ironing” and sewing, instead of welding and grinding. Thought of my Dad when he made a 6’x12’ snooker table. Had to learn how to crochet, in order to knit the pockets for the poolballs, lol! Cheers, really liked your mini series and build!👍🇨🇦

I'd put a windshield and some side windows just to keep the rain out and particularly bugs out of your teeth when you're driving.
Fantastic build. You are the coolest guy on UA-cam, hands down. Also, way to keep it classy without a sponsor. Because of your channel, I dream bigger than I used to. Thank you.
Thanks Bernie! I really appreciate it man 🙂👍
End result is a masterpiece. Good job Mike
Thanks for checking out my build series Dave 🙂👍
Right on makes my day when I get to see a Mike video
Thanks 😊
I like how you did the body welds just burn em in no grinding and they look like rivets. 👌
Another great project wrapped up. Awesome work!
This has been a fantastic series to watch Mike. You do great work,I was digging the music in this video.
Thanks Jerry for checking out my build series! It’s been a lot of fun 🙂👍
It was an awesome build series to watch! Thanks for all the content. You really impress me with how many different skills you are willing to learn outside of your main welding skill, including, but not limited to, upholstery, painting, and now sewing! Keep up the good work!

This is my absolute favorite build on UA-cam. What a great series. Thank you!
Thanks Chris I really appreciate it man 🙂👍
Wow , that 6x6 turned out nice, awsome work, thanks for the other channel link ,,Godbless
Great video, Mike! The pinzgauer turned out super. 👍
Cool project Mike, would like to see a video of this out on some trails wheeling ! Nice job
Great project and truly enjoyed all parts and did achieve title of master fabricator for micro vehicles conquering all terrain, yet do wish if you could ever build something new that isnt off road related but still in same field of your expertise .. ever tried having a micro car powered with a bike engine, like same old bike engines and micro vehicles but for the streets rather than off road, thats a build i d love to see u make and kinda changes skin some for the channel!
Sweet work @MikeFestiva! All it needs is a windshield and you are golden!
Great job, it looks amazing and seems like it'll last a lifetime!
The articulating dump truck was really awesome too, can't wait to see what you accomplish with these vehicles and your future endeavours!
Thanks Jeff!!
Mike I have enjoyed watching this truck come together. It is awesome. You did a great job. I started watching your channel when you were building the dump truck. Both are awesome. Good work. Can't wait to see what's next.
