There's a lot of blood sweat and tears in old pickles,and I hope the boy drives him around for the next 50 years. Well stay safe take care from western Australia
yes! but mostly just love! Thanks for coming along on the journey~!
carry that torch to the finish line, its lookin great
will do sir! Repaired the frame horn this week...THAT was a project! ha
What a tremendous retrospective, Pickle has come a long way back from oblivion!
I feel the hard part of the frame and frame horn (hopefully finished by this weekend) is done, so now to the fun stuff!
The Marci & Pickle journal is epic and helped recruit me into this obsession.
oh boy...you are in "trouble" now! lol The genuine love for these old machines certainly is contagious isn't it~😉
Can’t believe it’s been almost 4 years, I remember when you dragged it home. Pickle has come a long way and you’ve done a great job so far…. you’re almost done now! 😂
It's that "full time job" thing that gets in the way! lol
Personal goal of getting it off the rotisserie by really cold weather...now that I have said that in writing the universe will likely conspire against me lol
You are doing a amazing job pickles came long way BABY 😁😁😁😁👍💟💟💟
long way to go...but the "hard" part I feel is nearly complete...frame horn got repaired this week, so only a couple more frame bits and this guy can come OFF the rotisserie!
Can not wait to see it on the Road my Grandpa's 57 is back on the Road we get looks every were it go's he would be so happy to see it going again my grand daughter likes to set in it pretend to drive told her the car had a name she just smiled said she knew it had one the car told her it's name 😁😁😁😂😂😂😂
GREAT work removing all those layers of paint. Been there....done that and it's a ton of work. Looks 100% better after cleanup.
Like your style keeping all that sweet original paint and patina!
It's hard to see how far you've come until you look back where it started. You're doing a great job, I like that you're saving the paint as much as possible, and tackling each step as you go.
Peace
It is a massive project and I knew it would take me YEARS but I can at least see the light at the end of the tunnel now that most all the frame is rebuilt! Repaired the frame horn this week! Whew glad that part is over! lol
Time flys when you’re having fun 🙂
crazy...but so true...I've enjoyed every single minute!
It's been an awsome journey and can't believe it flew by so fast. Can't wait for the continuation.
Thanks Steve....hopefully a new episode this week if I can get it to upload!!! ha
Love the early days of pickle she's come on so much doesn't seem that long ago time flies when you're having so much fun brilliant mist your vlogs oh and not forgetting a lovely lady in a skirt doing all that work and amazing looking legs to glad to see you bk xx
haha...I have enjoyed every single minute on this old heap! More to do, but I keep at it! Thanks for always being here Gary!
@@marcijunebug my pleasure always fun to watch please keep them coming if you need a break from pickle I don't mind watching you cut the grass lol x
Hey Marci...you still inspire!!!
Thank you...little by little...
Amazing 😁👍❤️ not many people in USA has this kind of common sense
haha! Truth! Common sense is a thing of the past for sure...I'm not the brightest bulb in the box, but give me a little time and a few tools and I can usually solve most of the problems.
Absolutely Brilliant 👏. Love the Rotisserie and the mapping of the Frame along with the floor joists.
thanks very much, appreciate you being here! cheers
Having watched Pickles restoration videos a few times, it was great to see the summary “best of”. This has been a labour of love and Pickle is on (his/her?) way to a new life, with a wonderful family. I love this project…
thank you so much! I know this ole bus will be a "family" member for years to come!
nice of you to show what has happened with pickle so far. But I also hope he gets back on the road.. I wish you a lot of strength and fun! We are going to enjoy your UA-cam movies again. 😎 😉
I repaired the busted up frame horn this week...so look for those episodes hopefully starting this week! (we live in an area with basically no internet, so post COVID that has complicated things!) don't worry I'm still filming the entire process, so at some point I will get it all uploaded!
That was a fun little recap. Pickle the bus has come a long way. Can’t wait to see more!
thanks Rich! what a project...but I will be very proud of it once it is complete!
You are an amazing craftswoman and the love you show Pickles!
Thanks so much John! trying to do the best I can!
Wow
Hi Junebug, from Pickle's sister bus, the HiBearN8R in Alaska 😊 🚌 ✌️. Re-watched this and it gave me ear-to-ear smiles, thanks!!! It warmed UP to zero°F today, so took both the bus, and then the old Landy out for a spin in the snow...my, how well behaved they are. Best to all you guys!!
HELLO! It's hopefully Pickle's year, this year! I have turned down commissions and work so that I can get him done this year! I'm so looking forward to it! It's going to be a great year and ONE of these days we ARE going to get these buses together!
@@marcijunebug wonderful ! Everything happens in its glorious time, and when it does, it'll be great!
...and we'll all be there cheering you on! 👍
Pickle could not have ended up with a better family.
Thank you! We love him and are doing our best!
With you all the way, keep on keeping on.
thank you kindly! It has been a great journey thus far!
And I have a genuine Pickle-chip here with me to inspire the ongoing restoration of my '65 Bus!
awe...so cool! Love to see how far and how many of those have made it into the hands of folks who really "get" what I'm trying to do here! Appreciate you!
Very impressive welding/cutting skills and VW enthusiasm! Nice work!
thank you, I'm mostly a "hack" but I get the job done
Hi Marcie, Good to see you back. Good to also go over some of the footage of pickles build. Looking forward to more.
thanks so much! Hopefully I can get the episode for this week to finally upload!
@@marcijunebug tis ok. I understand technology sucks at times and life gets in the way. Will be patient and wait.
cant wait to see the next installment . she is coming along nice. !
thank you Fez!
View # 413 at 5:54 PM on 7/28/22 - NJ....Keep it going looking forward to more. And thank for getting the lawn mower in LOL.
lawn mower lol...always a lawn mower!
Nice synopsis. Some journey so far. I love it TOO. 😊👍👍
thanks so much for your continued support!
Got it!!! is GOOF OFF! THANK YOU!
yep! just make sure the can says "graffiti" on the can in graffiti style lettering!
Great job!
thank you!
If those walls could talk the things that can tell you that it's seeing and heard during that wild time of 1968 LOL
I KNOW RIGHT!!??? if only
Im tickled to see works on pickles...YOU GO MJB
Hopefully I can get this weeks episode to UPLOAD! (it's been a struggle since covid and moving offices, etc...we basically have no internet at our house, so that has certainly complicated the youtube thing!!!)
@@marcijunebug yeah had to goto library and few county buildings to get acess..not one thing its another
We all love that bus too ;)
What a lovely re-cap! Something that goes with the bus and its story! Smashing.
I still havent made a good start on mine.. 18 years I have had it now... It was good when I got it! Need to get it good again.
thanks for loving it...hoping to have it off the rotisserie sooner than later and then on to the "fun stuff"!
the time is now! go after it!
Well, to take on a project like Pickle you have to be very confident and a little crazy, maybe a lot crazy, but you are doing an amazing job 👍 keep on truckin 🤠
a LOT of crazy...but I have thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of it!
You go Girl!
thanks John!
"It wil lbuff out for sure, will be fine" . Who could have known that it would indeed, and to what effect!
"it's all fine" lol
Nice recap. Once the floor is done, it's almost done. LOL
yeah it is basically ready for gas and oil....NOT lol one day though!
Hi Marci, great to see you back traveling back in time, so now is the time in the present time to come back to good Old Pickles.so I`m looking forwards to the next working EP from you .and seeing the significant progress from Day one when you got Pickles at your place, Have a great weekend over there greeting cheers. Hubertus.
thank you kindly! Hope to have the next episode up this week!
@@marcijunebug I`m waiting for the EP.
I'm not sure why it took UA-cam so long to recommend your channel but boy am I glad it final did! I just subscribed and I'm looking forward to starting the Pickle project journey from episode one.
thanks so much for the sub! We have been without internet for some time now, but as soon as our fiber is up and running (hopefully by the end of the month!) I will be back to weekly uploads! Appreciate you being here!
@@marcijunebug Great news!
Thats Great Been waiting to see where you were on Pickle
started on the frame horn repair this week...so look for that episode later in the week! Thanks for hanging out with us on this old project!
Quando preciso me motivar vejo teus vídeos são fantásticos obrigado
thank you so much...I sure enjoy sharing with you all!
There surely must be a business opportunity with the red bugs bonnet design ... Perhaps create one off spray paint stencils for any old classic car .. Just a thought ..
haha...well I HAVE had several people try to buy it...I keep looking for more "junk hood" to cut up...could never bring myself to plasma cut up a "good" hood~
Love it, my budget doing old outboard motors would not even come close to being able to afford even old Pickle. So love watching you with yours and this was very special showing your history with it from the beginning. Thanks for sharing. Tim
Thanks Tim, appreciate you being here and your kind words and encouraging comments!
put my Free All back on the I beam in the garage and wondered how you were doing ! I might try that graffiti remover on the other 67, TBH, lacquer thinner seemed to work on the top half.... I have not looked at my frame, but my engine looked just as rusty ! Have a great weekend !
"rusty" goodness...the graffiti remover worked really well on this project, but on my brothers car we used acetone (he only had a single layer of primer over original Paprika Red on his 60 vert~) and it seemed almost to do better...guess it depends on the project! Cheers!
You cut patterns in fenders, and hood of the VW bug, why not seal it from the back pour in some epoxy put some back lighting, and the car are usable in all weather again
for now we like it the way it is...maybe one day we can change it up! I didn't cut the real hood to this car, in fact if you look close it is hanging in the carport along back wall. If we think we will get caught in rain, we just do quick swap, only 4 bolts and easily done with one person.
Muito bom
Thank you!
Dear Misses Supermarci Volkswagen Knucklebones???
I only know about playing with knuckle bones because of the finds of Northern Mudlarks.
👍👌👏 Good to have you back, Ma'am. By the way: Usually you do respond to my e-mails but the last ones (respectively a lot of them) seem to have gone straight into your spam folder again?! Have you received the my last one from June the fifth? Thanks in advance for answering.
It's impressive how much work has already gone into your favourite project. Meanwhile I'm pretty sure, that some day Pickle will be the star of a VW meeting/show. Until then:
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
I will check for the emails...life if really really full and busy right now, so much so that I turned down work so that I could get back to this bus and the other projects that I love so much...I miss tinkering and that is such a part of what makes me happy...time to take time for myself...so THAT is exactly what I am planning to do these next few months! cheers my friend!
Dear @@marcijunebug
Thanks for replying and especially for another heart. As you know, I totally appreciate both very much.
2) Yeah, tinkering around is good for our heart, soul, brain and for charging our batteries. Especially fabricating things out of nothing respectively scrap and recycled stuff. It's kind of meditational/meditative, at least that's what I feel. Or let me better say: That's what maybe all artists, inventors, creators feel.
3) In August I sent you an email to both addresses about an even more crazy VW Bus enthusiast. Hope you received it (oldest T1 Samba in the world. Rebuilt in 5 years from total wreckage respectively rotting/rusting away while laying on a field for at least 50 years). English subtitles are available. Good ol' Pickle looked like new in comparison to that rusty puzzle. This crazy German already invested more than 100.000 Euro in this "restoration" and said that 23 window T1 Samba busses are worth that kind of money. For me these prices sound pretty ridiculous meanwhile.
Please, Ma'am, tell me if at least one of my August emails reached you. Maybe even the ones from June?
Thanks in advance for answering.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Hello, I was curious to know what did you use to remove the paint. I see is a YELLOW can....THANK YOU for your time.
That state sucks, - snow in July !
😆yep
Wow. Beautiful thing, now looking ugly but looking for some love to recover his pride.
One day it will be a beautiful machine again...have to get ugly before It can be beautiful again!
@@marcijunebug When I said ugly, it wasn't for VW lovers like you and me. It's beautiful inside.
34:18 I didn't see that the first time around. LOL! What his name?
her name is Raggedy Ann...she's a little rough around the edges but runs like a champ!
Do you still have the license plate that was on Pickle?
yep
I missed Pickle!
meeee tooo!
Marci,Marci why you don't repair your VW ?
Oh it is coming OFF the rotisserie in 2023! stay tuned!
Don't do what I did. I bought a '65 crew cab in 1995. I started working on it and got a lot done but, eventually got tired of it and forgot about it. I'm 72 now. I've had two heart attacks and have developed Heart Failure. I realized the other day, I will never be able to finish it due to my health. Please, if you aren't going to commit to finishing it, sell it on so someone else so it can live again.
Steve, that is one of my fears....too many vws at my house...why not pay someone to finish it and drive it once it is done ? These are so much better and easier than vanagons...I've lost about 6 years working on that...
Oh I'm committed! Frame horn repaired this weekend...hopefully off the rotisserie by the time really cold weather sets in for the year! My dad is 76 and STILL takes on projects like this, thus far he's finished what he sets out to do...I am thankful for my health for sure and hope and pray I am like my dad...I wish you health and healing in your heart..truly...I am with you though...if it is something I feel someone else could do it better and love it more than I it is MY responsibility to pass it to them as the caretaker! Thanks for being here Steve, truly appreciate it!
