[@chopperhehehe]

You welder guy is doing a brilliant job this video show what is involved fixing busses am going to show alot folk this video they may understand better how much goes in to doing this kind a work 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🎣😁✌️

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks! Yeah for sure, I'm glad to get this video up to help others

[@allanb52]

What a great presenter, free from the usual bullshit and using as many original parts as possible, rather than building a vehicle from all new parts. Originality is everything. Well done mate.

[@Synaptic_gap]

My favorite, so far of all of your videos! You are very fortunate to have found a craftsman like Robert to help you with this restoration as the care he puts into his work is rare and really is beyond any dollar value, especially years on down the line! I particularly enjoy the body work part of the restoration process as there is something truly satisfying in watching what was rusted, rotting sheet metal returned to it's original form, and your video work provided a comprehensive non-verbal step by step instruction of the process that would allow a viewer (with loads of additional technical learning) to replicate this kind of thorough, step by step process. It would be great to watch you, having learned throughout this project, tackle (with documentation, of course) another project like this and perhaps pass on to someone else all that you have learned along the way.

[@MattEgyChannel]

Hi brother..... I dont know why im like to watching your project video from start until now.... And i will continue watching until this project finish... Greeting from Malaysia...👍👍👍

[@fonhollohan2908]

Its was very smart of you to decide to get this project welded up by guys with lots of experience, in the end you'll know you got a great van that's done properly. Really like that air hacksaw that tool is brilliant. When I did do body work years ago we never had those available, cool tool for sure.

[@Scott2148]

Lori is a keeper. Thanks for the videos, great lessons.

[@Rudi.D]

Wow ... Claudio has "Golden Hands", finishing so fine and adjusting with metal ... and what a patience and craftsmanship that he has ... handsome ... I'm looking forward to the next episode greetings from Belgium and have a Happy Season !!!

[@foamermetal]

That has got to be one of the best videos out about how to tackle all the lower bus issues. Nice job.

[@stevemitchell238]

I love the way you guys make it dry fit so close and take your time to do it right .

Have loved watching your videos, they are awesome and so inspirational and fun to watch. So much so that I bought a 66 bus and am doing the same thing you are and your video’s have helped me out tremendously. My Daughter is obsessed with these buses, so really it will be hers, we named it Luna. Looking forward to the next one.

[@bluetickhound16]

Dude, you are costing me a FORTUNE in cool T shirts!! My Tuk Tuk boards shirt should be in soon and I’ll be getting one of those Skinner Classics shirts today! Also, maybe it’s just me getting used to your voice but you seem to be speaking much more clearly and the (KZbin generated) subtitles are matching you pretty closely now. In any event, it’s great to see genuinely good people living their dreams and this channel is o e of the best in YT. Keep up the great work my man!

[@MicBergsma]

Haha! Maybe I should not wear t-shirts anymore 😂😂 Wow that's cool, I think you are getting used to my voice... my wife can understand me when she is in other room when I was talking to her... I should wear hearing aid more often to improve my speak skills. Thanks for stopping by! See you in next video!
