A video made just for us About Mac's VDub Kona bus. The cute li'l pup Helping Mac clean it up. And he's eating a whole bunch of dust. So Mac got himself some NyQ. That stuff isn't good for you. But it gives some relief Helps you turn a new leaf. You'll also not feel quite so blue! The Dubs really doing quite nice. I know you hate painting parts twice. You'll be glad in the end. It's looking great my friend. Soon you'll be back in paradise! Thanks for the fun my brother. :-)

You are amazing , the tenacity and attention to every detail, leaving no stone unturned or screw and bolt removed! This Bus will be better than new when all the work is done!

Nice job Mitch! I'm glad to see you back having fun and also making progress with Kona's Proyect. Robert and his crew came very handly for this proyect I can't wait to see more! Greetings from Argentina

We will be moving on our sailboat in about 6 months, if we ever get done with boat life we will get a VW bus for sure. Clean restore 👍🏼🇨🇦

I have watched a few videos in the past, but I have to say this is the one that got me hooked! First let me say thats its awesome that the Skinners allow you to live and work there, Im not saying its easy living in there yard, but the learning experience of being in that environment is priceless. I wish when I was your age I had that kind of experience. I have owned my Vanagon (1980 air cooled) since new, and it has been a member of my family for 40 yrs this October, and I now drive it almost every day, and work on it in-between. It will never be done, But its my passion, and I always have a big smile on my face as I drive along the beach here on Long Island. Enough about me, what makes your videos so fun to watch, is there face paced, edited well, and cover everything well, without going into boring details. It is a rare opportunity you have there, and as well for us the viewers, getting a glimpse into the inner workings of the Skinner shop. Thanks for the enormous time and effort you put into filming and editing these videos. For us watching, It renews our energy and passion to get out there and do some work, and be a part of the awesome VW world! Peace....

Yes!!! Not gonna lie man. I’ve been waiting impatiently for this. Lol I’m excited. Cheers! And thank you 🤙

Think off the cash your saving doing it yourself. And the respect you will have for your bus once your driving it 😜 I love the roll round jig wish I had thought of that. I think I will be making one 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🎣😁🤞✌️

great work i hope you feel better to keep on going thanks for all your videos. seeya on the next one

Let me start by saying that, nothing I say in this comment is aimed at anyone in the video, as I don't know them, so I hope that no one takes it personally. I've been an avid follower of this series as I like vehicles and I like rebuilds. As much as I have enjoyed the process so far, watching these videos has further opened my eyes to how ignorant us hearing folk can be towards a non-hearing individual. I think it is important to make sure that everyone feels included, even in something as little as a conversation, or making simple eye-contact. I hope to execute what I have learned here in my everyday life, and not just be a keyboard warrior. Love the series! Keep on doing what you do!

God Bless You Mic.

Excellent video! I barely noticed the glitching. All that sand that keeps reappearing is amazing... I would have thought it would all be gone by now but there can’t be much more of it hiding in there!

You are doing an amazing job with your bus💪👍, you are lucky having Skinners work shop and his crew doing this with you. Love your video’s, greetings from “Down Under”✌️

Congratulations Mic is getting beautiful your VW bus👏

I didnt knew Volkswagen have so many fans there 😁 But they doing a great job 👍 Greetings from Europe

I love your work ❤

Heck yes! So excited to watch this. :)

Man, you’re doing great work on that bus. It’s gonna look so good. Also, great thinking on putting the freshly painted parts under that plastic bin! Wish I had thought of that doing mine, but I guess the bugs imbedded in the paint give it a little added detail lol. Can’t wait for the next video!!!

Interesting that you included the "Light Bus" from Bob Heironimous of Baltimore, Maryland. He took that to the Woodstock event in New York in August. It is a replica of the one he built in the 1960s.

Estou super ansioso para ver este ônibus proto, vai ficar maravilhoso!

Love this guy ... HARDWORK is fun

Really enjoying how your documenting the restoration

You are back!!! Was looking for this episode Since December!!!!

A lot of hard & dirty work but it will be worth it when it is done. You are making all of the parts look like new great job.

Wow you are doing a extensive overhaul on that bus mate. Lucky you are doing the nitty gritty stuff yourself. Something of that magnitude in Australia would cost more than the bus is worth. It would be looking brand new when it’s finished

It long time we miss you

VW bus coming out nice man Rock on

Love it in the UK 😎

Very big project I can't wait new episode

Superb video , keep it up , thanks .

Im excited to see the finish product

This is an inspiration to everyone who has a passion for classic cars I'm also curious if you would do a video of just the shop and team wotking their. They seem like family from all the videos I've seen

enjoy watch amazing thank you

I recently discovered they made the t2 in Brazil into the 2000s and that you can buy every body panel for a bus aftermarket including 23 window conversions. So cool.

I am from Indonesia, i like your story video

Lot done...good job..👍🇬🇧

Looking great

Anyone else learnt to read sign language by watching his videos? At first I had to read the subtitles but now after watching him for a so long I find I just watch his hands and don’t really need the subtitles anymore

Hey on day 42 when u came out I saw a different type of vw truck the blue one.I believe is called "La Hormiga". Is Mexican made only and How did it got there?

Super Paris 🇫🇷 👌

Hi Mic! It's coming along but `there is still a lot of cleaning and painting to do.Nice work Man waiting for the next episode, Greetings from HCS.

such a car is my dream! Super.

After binge-watching so many of Mics videos, and really sinking into ‘show-not-tell,” I was kind of confused for a moment when Robert started speaking aloud about the spray foam mess ! My brain had to re-adjust 😵‍💫

I know the issue with aerosol paint. It does not last long on parts exposed to weather. Yet I do not have a solution that is as easy to apply as an aerosol paint. Better to use two part paints but a lot more complicated to use. I envy you walking around in sandals and tee shirt. Currently where I am (Toronto) that is not possible, Snowing and 32F right now.

Hoooo amazing i love this car to camper fan

Love your vids

Well don gentleman u doning great job ...

God work 😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

soooooo much work!

That is smart idea to just roll the whole thing.... we'll played man...✌😎

Hi Mic. Glad there was a video today. Been quite a wait since the last one. Not complaining, just saying .. .. .. .. ha, ha, ha ! When you have some idle time with Robert, ask him about a couple by the name of Dawn and Tom Kerr. Tom drives (or did) a single cab VW pickup/truck and Dawn quite an old red VW Beetle. I have a video about them and their VW's where (wait for it) Robert actually performed the marriage ceremony for the two of them. The 'church' was the back of Tom's pickup. I would like to know if they are still in contact with Robert and if they still own/drive the same VW's. Was such a great video, loaded with people and VW passion. Go well and happy 'cleaning and painting'.

Good job bro ,i like ,best regards !

Don't make me wait for next episode!!

Even though you are bummed about having to paint those parts twice one good thing to be assured of is that when you sand blast parts, after you paint them the paint will stick better to the parts that are sandblasted. Than if you were to use a wire wheel per say because a wire wheel gives you a smoother surface. Smoother surface is not good for paint adhesion. Plus you should've hit all that dirt off the bottom of the van with a pressure washer first. It would've been a hell've a lot easier. Next time.

Its going to turn out very nice. :-)

Aquí siguiente este exelente trabajo ,me gusta mucho cuando las personas suben videos de restauraciones de autos antiguos y hacen las cosas profesionalmente y bien hechas ,,,

I love your vidio algerien watching
