Can’t wait for another episode ! Rewatching old videos........

I love how excited you are about this van. I may be just as excited. Can’t wait for the next video.

Great work, Clark. I completely understand your exuberance. Those VW busses are SO much fun to drive! Mrs. Underwood is a treasure, as well. Congrats on the upcoming family addition. Bravo!

This was the best update yet. Congrats on the baby!

Congratulations on many fronts!! Wiring, windows, and driving around the front yard! But most importantly congratulations to you both on expecting your first child! My three grew up camping in my Westy! I don't think my son was even 6 mons old when we took our first week long camping trip 7 hrs away! Good luck with all you do and dream! Thanks for making the videos, Underwood garage rocks!!

You and wife look like you are having a ball with the van. That is great you work as a team. I see an Oklahoma tag on the jeep. If you are in Oklahoma, get on the web and look up Earl Mann's Bug Shop, Ardmore Oklahoma. He stocks many parts, restores VW's and complete repair shop. Rick Mann is the manager and a great guy to work with.

Congrats, I've had my bus for 8 years now. and was driving it daily. Just rebuilt engine, so still shaking it out again. Its an adventure nobody understands that doesn't have a bus!

@@clarkunderwood be patient and try to do things right. I think you are. Tie down all the elec stuff or it will come loose when driving. Ask me how I know.

So I just now discovered your videos but I’ve watched them all in one sitting haha. I have a 1970 convertible bug that I am working on. It’s really inspiring and motivating to see another low budget home VW build. There are many naysayers out there that will say you can’t use a cheap welder, can’t do paint/bodywork yourself, etc. I’m like you working with a flux wire welder and doing everything on my own with limited experience (just a general knack for mechanical and constructive projects). It’s easy to get discouraged and your videos really help. Good luck to your little family, can’t wait to see you finish this project soon :)

Hey Matt! Thanks for the comment. We can do it! when I get discouraged I focus on one little task I know I can get done and that helps build momentum. I hope your project continues to progress!

We miss you Clark! Our souls thirst for thine Gatorade. Fun idea for your videos: use the "underwood" portion of your intro sound clip between scenes. Like the tv show '2 and a half' men uses the "men" sound bite.

I was so happy when I saw how far the bus had come. Now I’m stunned that God has blessed y’all with a child! What wonderful news! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing!

Congrats on your baby!! Nice update, you will get the road very soon. I say again that you need to get rid of that exhaust and get a good one!! Your actual exhaust kills hp, a merged 4-1 system will give you plenty of power and a nice sound. Smart decision to get the 40 idf off, that thing eats fuel like a 2 ton truck (but makes very good power if tuned right) Keep the updates! I love this build

so stoked

Love u guys videos and enthusiasm. Good job on all of your work. I wish u would show more detail on your electrical work. There is not a lot of videos on the finer points of doing electric harness replqcement. Oh and congrats on the new passenger.

You have likely resolved the shift issue by now but if don’t have all the gears it’s is likely the shift plate in floor OR shift coupler back near transmission...Both are super easy fixes and might just be loose!

@clark underwood. Hey Clark. Can you tell me where you purchased your rear quarter glass from? I want to get rid of the left rear vent wing & if you purchased a rubber kit, where you got that from. West coast Metric has a complete rubber kit for just under $900. Thanks

Would suggest you using an air filter (dirt destroys the engine)

Put bumpers on it , you really don't won't to get into a crash without bumpers ( you have to cut out he front and replace it then )

I live in Oklahoma where did you get your engine rebuild at?

What engine was originally in this?

@clarkunderwood

5 жыл бұрын

I believe it would have been similar to this one 1600 dual port.

Not being a jerk. Just saying you need to be able to kill the engine with the key. That means you have constant power to the coil. You could burn up the coil. Drain the battery and burn up the points (If you have them) also you need to put on the piece of metal that goes infront of the engine with the engine seal and deck lid latch. Without that the hot cooling air from the engine. Could get sucked back into the cooling tins and overheat the engine. Just trying to help.

Better buy an original fuse box ,this one you made looks dangerous

@boyettedesign

5 жыл бұрын

I disagree. The original fuse panel (if you can find one) will only control what the bus did... originally. There have been some serious enhancements since then. Air conditioning being one. Others like blue-tooth, wi-fi, and additional battery come to mind. Those extra fuse slots will come in very handy. The best part would be relocation of fuse panel to a more conveinent location, and knowing the fuse (and wiring) location for every electrical system in the bus. Just sayin...
