A kid that works? What a novel idea. You ROCK Josh.

Josh is a GREAT kid. You must be very proud. He hung in there and even said "this is fun",,,, and we never heard a peep of negativity out of him. Love a video that shows a Dad and Son working alongside each other like that. He absolutely deserves to go fishing!

That was cool to see Josh on that rescue helping out! That one, was definitely tired. Time for some fishing!!! Josh made the call!!

Good To See Josh Helping! He’s A Great Helper!

What a great kid! You guys are a good team. More Josh on this channel!

Your son handles a shovel better than most men...kudos to him and his strength.

Seeing this bus sunk down so deep, wow! Josh has grown so much. He'll be gaining a lot of strength every year now.

Great to Josh out helping you rescue this VW bus

One of my favourite vehicles, imagine the places you guys could go together in that thing and the memories youd have of rebuilding it together and holidaying in it together... you know it makes sense!

So cool that you can share the experience with your son......Thanks for sharing... so lush and green!!!

I really appreciate all you do together.. Maybe I m a bit jealous cause I wish to be there with a son like yours 😊.. Hope this van can be saved... Good job guys

So many memories of helping my Dad on projects when I was Josh’s age! And the choice to laugh when pinching your fingers on the mirror and laughing rather than the 1st choice I’d make! You’re a good man raising a good son!

Jason’s best video yet!! Don’t matter if he gets this junker, power washes it as a usual restoration and parks it to rot some more on his property, the value is working with his son Josh!! Great job Jason!!!!

Thanks for digging out my next project 🙂

Cant imagine what's been living in there for all those years!! Make sure and clean that out good!! Hope everything goes well and good to see the young one helping out and not just playing video games!!

Josh is a great helper. Enjoy fishing. The bus is a mess but you have others and two or three could make one. I had three 1960 rancheros to restore one and it's nice but it was very rusty. Actually one of them was a dipped 62 and that gave the quarter panels. Good work!! Good video!!

everybody is right, Josh IS a great kid, love his attitude,

Just a few seconds into this one, and I gotta say, this is what we hunt for. Well done my man! Can't wait to see the extraction and hear more history. EDIT: As I was watching you dig this one out, I was debating with myself whether I would bother with it. Oddly, I really enjoy this part of old car hunting, but sometimes the payoff ain't worth the effort. I would likely keep going, purely out of stubbornness. Someone out there will want that bus, and take the time and effort to save it.

My 1960 bug was rusted out on the bottom so much I could see the road and that was in 1979. They don't have a frame and are unibody construction. Very difficult to rebuild unless you are a very good welder. But bus parts are very difficult to find and sell for a decent price, so those are still worth some money. Best is the time spent working with your son. My kids remember working on houses and cars like that.

Wow, a split window bus with bullet turn signals! I thought about owning a split window bus back in the day, but the closest I came was a later model with the fish bowl front windshield. I used it as a local work truck. Put a ladder rack on top and put it to use washing windows around town. This was in the mid/late 1990s.

I say well done Josh, you really worked hard even though you wanted to go fishing. I am not sure that the bus will come out of the ground in one piece I don't like to be negative, i am always ' a glass half full' person but that is very crusty, The river was running fast but I am not a fisherman so you might get something. Take care Josh and Jason.👍👍

Dub Werks now Josh. One lucky man to have two great sons who share your interests… again HOW THE DO YOU KEEP FINDING THESE??? If the rest of the bus is reasonable, someone will take on the project. Kudos that was a lot of work. Josh, you are the man. Hope the fish were biting.

You can use the Jack's Outer Handle as a Breaker Bar for the Ratchet. As a Vw ( Beetle Fan and Owner, I can understand your patience starting from here till finish Restoration, a long Journey to self Satisfaction. Good and helpful young Boy you have to help you too. He will surely become a Vw Fan like us too.

Dear 5150mxVW 👍👌👏 And I thought that we would see a "Will it run" video the next time! 😁 ;-) If any, this rescue definitely needs one of those little excavators.

Cool to see you and your son together . Hope he will be into cars (vehicles) and may desire to save some in the future. Very sad to see the state or remains of this bus but can be put back together even if you have to just make some parts. Someone on KZread has some cut up and roll overs as well as many fixable busses if the rails are too rusty . I'm not a vw fan by any means but I am a van fan and own a mid engined chevy scooby van from the 60s ,I'd buy a panel bus in a heartbeat and think all busses and square backs (because I'm into wagons also) are awesome. I hope she can be saved but it's sad nobody cared for the van for 5 decades and let her just rot away

I see some RV and camper there would like to take one home
