Yep been waitin for the next part of the bus build. Thanks for informing why it’s been a minute!

[@charleslee8505]

Hey Richard is there a get you some of that moment and I need to know why aren't you hitting that one cat off for the beer your local beer company there that you saw a couple of subs on the side channel I'm sure they be happy to get the national exposure as well as you can have a beer sponsor

[@e30sdontrun86]

KZbin audience does not mind a longer video. Very good work! I enjoyed this one.

[@wisdomSP]

I love that you guys show what's actually happening and forgo all that scripted BS. I had to stop watching your broadcast TV show because I couldn't take the fake drama. I'm happy to return as a fan! Keep on Keep'n on!

[@colinhamer6506]

loving the video's with out the fake dramas discovery made I'd like to see a bit more detail on the builds

[@colinhamer6506]

😊a❤from someone I'd never in a million years though even having the pleasure any contact with KZbin is the way 👍

[@tripleeathletics]

Trust me, what Richard said is 100% right. If they showed all the details, the videos would be hours long, & they’d lose half the viewers in that boring stuff! I’ve been building cars for many years, so trust me, I know exactly how it works.

[@killerdeviant]

Awww the someone put the distributor together backwards.

[@shaynedonnelly374]

It’s to cheesy and fake for me. I preferred the discovery channel version but when Aaron left their days were numbered

[@85devlin]

Yeah I totally agree. I personally got into Fast n Loud really late (like 2 years ago) but fell in love instantly with the show and all the different people who worked there over the seasons. I was really gutted last year when Richard Rawlings was on Joe Rogan and said Fast N Loud is now done but after he went into a bit more detail about his future plans and how excited he was to be out of that contract I was eager to see what he had planned and now with this kind of format for the builds and even separate stuff like Gas Monkey Grub and the Monkey Trap podcast thing I can honestly say I wouldn't ever miss Fast N Loud now because I think we all have really good if not better replacement content by the same people. So I couldn't be happier except to say selfishly that I could watch daily update videos of this build stuff even if not much happens and I'm sure most of us watching could possibly agree that more build videos or longer build vids is a positive. They should set cameras up all round the shop for 24 hour live streams. I wanna watch them sleep. Nah joking but not joking. Great episode anyway always look forward to the next one.

[@codycastro8083]

Wish they where longer videos. Really love watching these guys.

[@christopherjohnson5320]

Even though videos 📹 are sweet i do acknowledge that the do need to be at least 45 mins to a house to hour and 15 minutes long with more inside depth into the mr ?

[@codycastro8083]

@@christopherjohnson5320 I think so too. I know there’s probably a lot of work into editing I’m sure of that. I personally work like see them working on the it. Not speed it up. But I sure there people that don’t like what I like so ill keep watching for sure just what it long an a new show everyday lol.

I respect the hell out of this guy! He def knows what hes talking about and at least he stands behind his work and judgement! Loving this build

[@7natcho]

I guess the real question is if he understands why the axle is located 4 inches front of center on the old bus chassis? Also if he realizes or understands the affectt moving the axle forward will do to the handling / steering on the 5500 chassis . Saying nothing will change except location of the wheel is wrong because caster will most definitely be affected .

[@dancearoundtheworld5360]

this is sum shit u'd c on peg vidya, guy cut tha belts off and used em as tire chains

[@brandonclark6024]

"but we had brakes" that was soo funny... Richard was surprisingly calm.(apart from not having a beer)

[@dancearoundtheworld5360]

[@Miguel_480]

Lmao 😂 😂 Richard said “ Isn’t this drive by wire.” Phipps said “ yea drive by wire not steer by wire “ this episode is one for the books for sure.

[@jack002tuber]

Yelling about his safety from an office chair in a bus. Love it

[@rowanclare7093]

Chase is a breath of fresh air in the shop, that combined with TV free Richard is why I love this content! Keep them coming fellas!

[@americanrambler4972]

I really enjoyed this episode of bus build! These guys have done a ton of work in short order and have made real smart choices, and even better, convinced Richard to go along with many of their good ideas. Keeping the running gear and electronics from the new truck is golden! Looking forward to the next bus episode.

[@Mr_Tenko]

Defo best thing Richard did was decide to go down this road with youtube, nothing but pure builds and awesome finds n buys, no bs.

[@RobertFullStop]

This is what I'm talking about! Nice to see you listen to your audience. Remember the Fast&Loud show was aired and re-run many times in Europe....for a reason. This kind of video is closer to what we expect: some building, some test driving and some banter.

[@Chefboyardeee]

Loving this new tv free richard!!!

[@Haraldsvensk]

Richard ... you can be happy and proud of the young guy who fixes everything. He is very good.

[@t.d.mich.7064]

Much better format here. No commercials or creative editing. Just the facts man!

[@pharo6665]

I stopped watching the YT interwebs, glad I checked back and found the builds. Brilliant. Sub’d again. UK fan .

[@se7encureton]

Been waiting for this Hope it turns out sick Looks like there is still a good amount to do

[@se7encureton]

Agree

[@TheRealCobraBurnout]

I'm loving what you are doing here on KZbin. Seeing a lot of what would be cut out of the F&L TV program is refreshing. Very enjoyable for me. Thank you Gas Monkey Garage & Richard Rawlings

[@KPMACHINE1]

Nice to see it coming together. I had my doubts about the fire wall and dash but it’s looking sharp. Please don’t edit out when mistakes are made. We’re human & by showing that it lets us know y’all are also. It keeps it real so we know it ain’t fake news. Keep up the good work!

[@swaterman08]

RR and this crew are killing it, I had my doubts but they are doing work.

[@rayrobbins4625]

My dad put a 383 dodge in my 46 ford coup . He also added a steering column from a 280 z . it was bolted together . I was on the 405 fwy. and the bolt fell out. I will never forget the terror . The steering wheel spun like a roulette wheel . I did not die.

[@rayrobbins4625]

Oh yea,HAVE YOU SOME OF THAT .

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

I had a tierod break at 60 and actually pulled it over accident free the passenger front tire was skipping about a foot off the ground as I did thou a passing car stopped and said it scared the shit out of him I said you should of bin it lol

[@anthonybarrett9648]

at 16:53 where Richard say "why do I feeling de ja voo" I immediately remembered an old clip of him driving the old crew around in the short bus.

[@CadillacMike]

came looking for this comment. Thought I was the only one who remembered

[@odono3095]

Raw and honest,, best show in town,, keeping it real

[@marlind.odermatt8108]

Chase, us old guys who had to align old straight axels used alum wedges to rock the I beam forward or back. What that means is it doesn't matter what it reads when you u bolt it to the springs. Suck them up, measure castor, unbolt the axel and trap the wedge. Aligning Fords twin I beam this trick could save you hours. Shove a zero degree bushing in above the top ball joint, measure castor, then bolt in a wedge. After that you simply need to use that goofy bushing to set camber (this would litterally save you an hour aligning a twin I beam vs trying to use that bushing to set both camber and caster)

[@serzok1]

I could feel the excitement when they said “let’s go for a ride” ...and the fun. 👏👏

[@calisfinest909]

not only Richard was having a blast butt his workers mann there enjoying every single moment hahaha thats what I call team work 🤟🤟🤟

[@kenstephens7366]

Finally a youtuber that ain’t afraid to swear or drink on there channel. 👍👍 I gotta watch you more . T hell with the fishing ,and no preppy racers that still don’t swear cuz there afraid of the KZbin swearing police. God bless Texas , and Tennessee cuz that’s where I’m from .

There's no words for how much I want to stand on the roof of that bus with a guitar. "Schoooooool's out for summer! Schoooooool's out for-EVA!"

[@AgentSmith82]

Awesome and Uncensored! Richard giving what the Fans want to see. Well done to all the Gas Monkeys keep up the great work and videos.

[@muleman1701]

This is Gasmonkey Gold! Only thing missing here is Sue. If she had been there or had a cut in when the steering went down with her trademark "assmonkey" like on Fast n Loud this would have been perfect....heck add that and it could have been Fast n Loud but just way better! GYSOT! Keep up the good work and craziness!

[@pidewi6587]

Yes finaly... you guys make me so happy with this build.. mutch love from the netherlands

@Lucky Jackson Can you try and use a comma or period here and there? Much appreciated.

[@jamarie1972]

Love it when a plan comes together. Reminds me of the last trip in a bus with the old Monkeys and a bar stool. Get you some of that.

[@captain_coleton]

Like most vehicle show coming to KZbin from tv, we get to see more authentic stuff, none of the BS to make the TV show more interesting to bring in the viewers. Plus Richard seems to really like this new crew he has brought in.

[@1mikewalsh]

Funny as hell what Richard said about his spring shop doing because I have the same one, different state!

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

Pure build. Keep it going. That's what is missing on television

[@badad0166]

I know it's two years later but I have an idea for the trim trimming. Make a 4-6 inch buck on the the big piece with a bondo brick. Wax, parchment paper or a big goober of carnuba for full release... Slide finished (hard) buck over seam to perfectly align the bumpy bits. Tack backside. Not necessary (but maybe a time saver).

[@nodds0012]

Im loving this build. Ive seen everything you have done at GMG from day 1. But Im really enjoying this format and build. Keep it up guys.

[@TheDomin8rr]

[@danielkingery2894]

Binging the Bus Build...and happy to see the Shop back at work w/o all the drama. I'd much rather see a lil real drama about someone over looking a steering shaft bolt than any made up crap on the TV scene.

[@DarkFlamage]

I did understand about the front springs, cuz mopar did that with their rear leafs, where they mounted the axle, I think it was forward of the spring center point.

[@buddystaggs]

Down in the south gotta love the bus new turn over for it anybody else plain old party bus and GMG took to a new level

[@jordanglynn3869]

So why couldn't you guys swap the spring setup from the original bus to the new chassis? You mentioned how they're basically the same. Sand blast and paint it and then move on.

[@cesaralonso5701]

This can easily become the best show on yt with stuff like this

[@gtodave7576]

Nice episode. I like your crew and the challenges come across more realistic in this format.

[@iLLbyNas]

I love gas monkey !! Richard crews are the best , I definitely wouldn’t mind working there !

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Why aren't you putting air suspension on that? You could redrill the main and second leaf and the center bolt hole in the axle to move it ahead a few inches or you could cut the spring mounts off the old fram and put them on the new frame.

[@hcraretep]

[@bricemacaluso8361]

loving the build, but what is that beauty behind RR at the 17:02 mark. They don't make cars with that much style anymore (and they probably never will again). it needs a good coat of wax to bring out that paint, but it looks AWESOME

[@leereoder]

Like I said the first time. I wouldn't have messed around with the rear wheelwells, I would have just sit the body over the factory rear wheels and just extended the firewall leaving the chassis and front springs ALL original. It still looks cool even though you are doing it the hard way.

[@GULIVERSOFFROAD]

I know it's done now but if you measure from the eyes to the center pin can you flip the springs I know most leads do not have the pin centered

[@Bentleemedia]

No way they're honoring any warranty on this thing.

You can’t so much as replace a spark plug on a new vehicle on your own and expect them to honor the warranty...

[@kevinwierinckx4712]

@@jharwell3128 regarding new chassis, not much changed... pretty much just a stripped chassis that was bought... they sell that from factory to build campers, parcel vans (think about the vans from UPS),...

[@zabnat]

If they follow the law they will have to prove that it broke because of the modifications. We all know how much car companies honor the laws though, so you better have lawyers ready to go if you ever want to claim warranty on this thing. :)
