- Dave and I made a trade for some safari front windows for some work on his bus, most of it getting the rear frame around the torsion tube. I replaces the factory 16 gauge with 11 gauge. it is now the strongest part of the bus.
Careful with that pickhammer! You almost put my eye out with that backswing! Wouldn't have missed the chickens cowering in the corner! That dinosaur has turned out to be a star attraction! Thanks, Mustie!
Supposed to be wearing eye protection in this environment. Where's your P.P.E. ?
Was going to say the same thing. I'm sitting here flinching at an LCD monitor.
Wow looks awesome great work clean and strong tough to find guys who can do this anymore that is guys who do it the right way
I've seen you do a lot of frame repairs, but this one came out exceptionally well, and it's never, ever boring to watch you make 'em better and keep 'em rolling. Thanks, Mustie!!
I might not agree with your patina stuff but your sheet metal work frame repair is second to none.
That's a better fit than aftermarket replacement panels. Nicely done!
Great work Mustie. Love that magic welding machine, and custom fit of the pieces, bandsawing your way to success. I love bandsaws. And my favorite part, riding with you down the highway in a vintage hippie bus. I miss my '66 kombi.
Woohoo new Mustie vid! Thanks for what you do sir!
You Sir are my long lost shop brother . We refer to the band saw work of that nature " vertical band milling" . You beat me by having a stretcher shinker along with air over hydraulic press , not to mention your cool old lift . Keep the videos coming , I like hanging out in your garage .
Yay, Fluid Film. I live in Iceland and do rust protection on glacier-going 4x4 trucks for a living. Can't beat FF.
Watching you work is so therapeutic and inspiring. Thank you for the awesome videos.
Hell of a fabricator. You should strategically place Mustiesaurus Rex somewhere in each video like an Easter egg that we can look for.
Well done Bud!! Dave is ready for more lovin' now!!☺
I'm restoring a 1963 Volkwagon 23 Window Bus now from the ground up I love these old buses
For anyone wanting to preserve the frame and undercarriage of any vehicle, use Rust Check oil spray and shoot it inside rails, body panels etc. It will keep water from corroding the metal. Even just one application works but it's best to do it once a year. I have been using it for 20 years to keep my vehicles in safe, rust-free condition.
My favorite Mustie video. VW's, Metal work, rust repair and welding..
Great video Mustie realy like the work you do on the bus's especially the welding part I learn so much from watching you so thanks for showing how it shud be done mite even buy a welder myself and make some sparks.
a very nice & tidy bit of plate cutting & welding.good job
You won't get any eggs from those chickens for a month now. Lol
or one big one
bet its not eggs their dropping! good job as normal.
Nice repair man! Very much more solid in the rear! LOL! Nice trade 2, look forward in seeing the trade getting installed. Have a great week!
Another great learning experience, thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Always love your vids. Thanks for posting such detailed videos explaining all the parts wannabes like me need to hear.
Hey Mustie is the Bar Oil the way to go for undercoating?? Thanks Just wanted to check in before I apply it. Thanks.
l like it still
Thanks for getting back so quickly (I know you are busy). Video coming soon shout your way! Thanks Bob
lovely repair as always, looks better than new, just got the resr to plate up now!
Nice job Mustie, solid repair.
looks good. at the beginning I was curious as to if the rust was ever going to stop lol. very nice repair.
Cracking repair mustie!....from a man that knows.
Regards from a old limey b across the pond.
"No chickens were harmed in the making of this video"
Always learning something new when watching a Mustie1 video! Also really enjoying the time lapse shots you've been putting in!
The "Hammer of Truth" does its righteous work.
Excellent quality repair there. Over engineered. 👍
Great job have never done automotive your start to finish repairs with a broad level of skill. The pre computer era . I hired a mechanic to repair a Chevy 3500 cutaway with walk in and sideboard 1997. 8' wide 11' long and 6' interior height. Can haul 4' wide sheetgoods
Fantastic repair! The Plastisaurus endings are classic!
MUSTI! Shame on you, terrorizing those poor chickens! LOL! Good job on that repair. Amazing that, that shrinker could handle such thick metal.
Mustie nice repair work can see your point on going to far in patching it up you definitely stabilized it plus the real bonus was of course seeing the girls run away from dino thanks for showing such a fine entertaining video there should be awards for this!!! : P
you guys are my reward,
Nice repair - heavy duty for sure, at 1/8”!
FWIW I usually use 14 gauge for stuff like this because my tools won’t bend 1/8” very well either. 14 gauge hammer forms sorta ok, and it is still light years stronger than 18 gauge and welds easier than 18.
Nice job, look at the neat metal stretcher. At the end , just like Tarrel says, “there’s your dinner”.
I love it when you do repairs like this
Nice repair, that looks stronger than factory.
I was surprised that stretcher worked on that thick metal. Nice job!
Awesome bit of metalwork 10/10
Im very impressed with your repair job very well done
Cracking vids as always, loved the chuck chaser! had me in stiches, very clever man keep up the good work, ATB Wayne across the pond UK.
Mustie, I enjoy your videos. Is there any way you can do a video of a front end rebuild of a split window VW Bus??? There isn't a video of this anywhere on UA-cam. I think it would help many people including myself. Removal, dismantle, rebuild and reinstall. Thanks!
Boy it sure helps to have the right equipment!
Fabulous repair job Mustie 😁
man you do good work i wish i lived closer to you.
You are like lightning with that hammer never hits the same place twice 😂 Great vid by the way 👍
badbackman1 I came here to write exactly the same thing! 🤣
Great repair job, and the chickens were very funny!!!
You're getting some pretty awesome mileage out of Dino, there, lol.... He's turning out to be a real multi-function, all-events attraction.
good job mustie1! that was a really good quality repair.
Those welds look damn near perfect!. id say 100 times better than mine!
Sweet van, love the paint job
i've learned to look away when you hit the metal with a welder. and yes, i did a bunch of welding in my earlier life. hated the dreaded "weld flash".
Your capability is awesome.
HAHAHAHA! When you first got to the chickens, I was thinking, too bad that thing's not radio controlled. And then...
You should use the Dinosaur at the end of every video lol! Love your work Mustie!
"Dave's not here, man."
It me Dave open the door the cop are watching ; )
It's me Dave, open up man........................
"Who is it"?
It's me ..., Dave.... Open up man ...I got the stuff............
Dave? DAVE??
Nobody uses a body hammer like you--nobody!
It's become your trademark, go-to tool.
Beautiful paint work
Great job...truly talented.
Hahaha loved the end with the chickens :)
the terrified townspeople!
Me too. Likely won't lay any eggs for a week.
Poking rust like that reminds me of an old school Pisser video :D
Shame Pisser isn't the video maker he once was.
He doesn't have time he's got too much going on and its not worth the effort $ anymore.
A great job !!
another fine job. Well done, keep up the great work
That is an exellent frame repair.
Talk about a flashback to one faithful Thanksgiving Day ; )
Nice job on the frame repair !
Good inspiration, have the same project on my baybus, but there the torsion tube is rusted trought aswell,
And well the chickens at the end😅🤣 what a laugh
Next dozen eggs will be already boiled in the shell... Nice job on the repair, Darrin.
The chickens will not give eggs for a week.hahaha. That this bus still was standing. Nice job agian.
Nice pie cut to make the semi circle!
The wielding comments remind me of my old uncle bumblefuck (AVE) who always tells me that grinder and paint makes me the wielder I ain’t!!!!😱😱😱
david helmuth Haha wielder 😂wielding that hammer!!!
VW sure loved to engineer in a lot of moisture traps in their vehicles back in the day.
Very nice werk !!
first class frame repair and a good laugh with the chickens !!! Tom U K
naughty Dino, scaring the chickens!
the plastic dinosaws become your mascott now lol
wow,that frame was really far out,man. cool video dude.
Good job mustie! If your ever in California come help me work on my early bay :) I thought one of the chickens was going to pop out an egg at the end haha.
Lol at the end. I need to try something like that with my chickens.
What brand of chickens is that. They seem pretty relaxed.
Godzilla vs the chicken - Reminds me of Ezra Levant's book "Trumping Trudeau" lol
that dinasour at the end was the best man! Made me laugh out loud
Those hens aren't going to lay eggs today! Not after the run in with Godzilla! :)
Felt like I was going to get hit in the eye with the pointy end of that hammer. Kept blinking ...
Excellent video mustie
Nice job Darren, I wish you were local to me :)
Nice strong fabrication work!
Seems the ladies weren’t very impressed with the new guy in town!
But if they gang up on him, wonder who will “flew the coop” first- haha?
Great piece of work Top stuff
You do know that as funny as it is, when you stress the chickens out like that it affects their egg production!!! Funny all the same. 😂😂😂
Nicely done!
that looks super sturdy
Proper job really good work 👍
that is what you can do if you have the proper equipment. I want that tools.. he he he. love the vids.
Thanks From Namibia
Another job well done!
Your videos have inspired me to buy a project truck. Only problem is I don't know what I'm doing.😂 you should start a project car series.
Very nice work!
LOL love Dino at the end, great work too!
Well done........a CH-46 fly by too
Been following you for a few years now. Thank You for all your sharing. Recently got my own bus and need to do some weld repairs.
I'm curious if you follow the suggestions in the machine or if you have your own setup for welding frames and body? Please share? Thank You.
Keep messing with the chickens and they might go on strike and not lay for you anymore. LoL
Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
