Daves vw hippie bus frame repair

[@Tailss1]

I might not agree with your patina stuff but your sheet metal work frame repair is second to none.

[@aleblanc3547]

I've seen you do a lot of frame repairs, but this one came out exceptionally well, and it's never, ever boring to watch you make 'em better and keep 'em rolling. Thanks, Mustie!!

[@bigmac965]

Careful with that pickhammer! You almost put my eye out with that backswing! Wouldn't have missed the chickens cowering in the corner! That dinosaur has turned out to be a star attraction! Thanks, Mustie!

[@stanpatterson5033]

Supposed to be wearing eye protection in this environment. Where's your P.P.E. ?

[@ChuckD59]

Was going to say the same thing. I'm sitting here flinching at an LCD monitor.

[@allied1394]

Wow looks awesome great work clean and strong tough to find guys who can do this anymore that is guys who do it the right way

[@nononsenseBennett]

For anyone wanting to preserve the frame and undercarriage of any vehicle, use Rust Check oil spray and shoot it inside rails, body panels etc. It will keep water from corroding the metal. Even just one application works but it's best to do it once a year. I have been using it for 20 years to keep my vehicles in safe, rust-free condition.

[@brucedickey5155]

Great work Mustie. Love that magic welding machine, and custom fit of the pieces, bandsawing your way to success. I love bandsaws. And my favorite part, riding with you down the highway in a vintage hippie bus. I miss my '66 kombi.

[@mjmcomputers]

That's a better fit than aftermarket replacement panels. Nicely done!

[@nocompredejavu]

Always love your vids. Thanks for posting such detailed videos explaining all the parts wannabes like me need to hear.

[@henryzabel1746]

You Sir are my long lost shop brother . We refer to the band saw work of that nature " vertical band milling" . You beat me by having a stretcher shinker along with air over hydraulic press , not to mention your cool old lift . Keep the videos coming , I like hanging out in your garage .

[@theirishviking9928]

Woohoo new Mustie vid! Thanks for what you do sir!

[@jarmen1105]

Watching you work is so therapeutic and inspiring. Thank you for the awesome videos.

[@StanleyKubick1]

Yay, Fluid Film. I live in Iceland and do rust protection on glacier-going 4x4 trucks for a living. Can't beat FF.

[@pitbullgamer8116]

I'm restoring a 1963 Volkwagon 23 Window Bus now from the ground up I love these old buses

[@toddkam]

Nice job Mustie, solid repair.

[@dtadpole]

Nice repair man! Very much more solid in the rear! LOL! Nice trade 2, look forward in seeing the trade getting installed. Have a great week!

[@ItsAlwaysRusty]

My favorite Mustie video. VW's, Metal work, rust repair and welding..

[@tombob671]

Another great learning experience, thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

The "Hammer of Truth" does its righteous work.

[@johnstrange6799]

Hell of a fabricator. You should strategically place Mustiesaurus Rex somewhere in each video like an Easter egg that we can look for.

[@telstarvision9249]

a very nice & tidy bit of plate cutting & welding.good job

[@scotsiain1970]

Excellent quality repair there. Over engineered. 👍

[@SuperGliderman]

Great video Mustie realy like the work you do on the bus's especially the welding part I learn so much from watching you so thanks for showing how it shud be done mite even buy a welder myself and make some sparks.

[@805ROADKING]

Well done Bud!! Dave is ready for more lovin' now!!☺

[@tolbaszy8067]

Fantastic repair! The Plastisaurus endings are classic!

[@MikeGuy993]

Always learning something new when watching a Mustie1 video! Also really enjoying the time lapse shots you've been putting in!

[@TheDaf95xf]

Fabulous repair job Mustie 😁

[@cdunning6988]

looks good. at the beginning I was curious as to if the rust was ever going to stop lol. very nice repair.

[@geraldswain3259]

Cracking repair mustie!....from a man that knows. Regards from a old limey b across the pond.

[@garyfisher1503]

lovely repair as always, looks better than new, just got the resr to plate up now!

[@don7406]

Nice repair, that looks stronger than factory.

[@thomasdickey7033]

man you do good work i wish i lived closer to you.

[@robertjackson4121]

Great job have never done automotive your start to finish repairs with a broad level of skill. The pre computer era . I hired a mechanic to repair a Chevy 3500 cutaway with walk in and sideboard 1997. 8' wide 11' long and 6' interior height. Can haul 4' wide sheetgoods

[@fishhuntadventure]

Nice repair - heavy duty for sure, at 1/8”! FWIW I usually use 14 gauge for stuff like this because my tools won’t bend 1/8” very well either. 14 gauge hammer forms sorta ok, and it is still light years stronger than 18 gauge and welds easier than 18.

[@Popeye64]

I love it when you do repairs like this

[@Polecat54941]

Awesome bit of metalwork 10/10

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Nice job, look at the neat metal stretcher. At the end , just like Tarrel says, “there’s your dinner”.

[@jimmyfiggs6293]

Your capability is awesome.

[@richardwarnock2789]

Mustie nice repair work can see your point on going to far in patching it up you definitely stabilized it plus the real bonus was of course seeing the girls run away from dino thanks for showing such a fine entertaining video there should be awards for this!!! : P

[@mustie1]

you guys are my reward,

[@junglejammer1]

MUSTI! Shame on you, terrorizing those poor chickens! LOL! Good job on that repair. Amazing that, that shrinker could handle such thick metal.

[@MikeyMack303]

Great repair job, and the chickens were very funny!!!

[@lifeonbicycles]

good job mustie1! that was a really good quality repair.

[@1marcelfilms]

Those welds look damn near perfect!. id say 100 times better than mine!

[@RickRose]

I was surprised that stretcher worked on that thick metal. Nice job!

[@sigmanfloyd7179]

Boy it sure helps to have the right equipment!

[@koshtie]

Cracking vids as always, loved the chuck chaser! had me in stiches, very clever man keep up the good work, ATB Wayne across the pond UK.

[@huck01955]

Im very impressed with your repair job very well done

[@johnbaker1039]

You won't get any eggs from those chickens for a month now. Lol

[@mustie1]

[@rankidd]

[@GoodOldMike]

Lol..the dragon cracked me up. So mean!

[@stanpatterson5033]

You're getting some pretty awesome mileage out of Dino, there, lol.... He's turning out to be a real multi-function, all-events attraction.

[@GhettoWagon]

Nice pie cut to make the semi circle!

[@fyrfytr16]

Nice job on the frame repair !

[@ronnath1581]

i've learned to look away when you hit the metal with a welder. and yes, i did a bunch of welding in my earlier life. hated the dreaded "weld flash".

[@Chris.Donley]

"No chickens were harmed in the making of this video"

[@2e0lgz]

Well done........a CH-46 fly by too

[@mikemerrill4073]

Sweet van, love the paint job

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Next dozen eggs will be already boiled in the shell... Nice job on the repair, Darrin.

[@DavidD-bg7uo]

[@suzukiman650]

VW sure loved to engineer in a lot of moisture traps in their vehicles back in the day.

[@finno123456]

[@Lfig012]

Expert repair

[@dvndvdsn1]

[@badbackman1]

You are like lightning with that hammer never hits the same place twice 😂 Great vid by the way 👍

[@Micko350]

badbackman1 I came here to write exactly the same thing! 🤣

[@kellerrobert80]

Nobody uses a body hammer like you--nobody! It's become your trademark, go-to tool.

[@888johnmac]

[@willptech7565]

888johnmac same

[@petejessop]

Proper job really good work 👍

[@skarekr0w3]

Those leaves look so real =)

[@FlowTfpv]

Thanks Mustie, I now know how to fix a frame! :) I hope Peta dont say nothin about the antagonization of the chickens. :D

[@longboardluv2]

safari's are awesome i got mine from WolfGand Int. in Redding CA!

[@siemenstraffic]

Thanks for the video, peace out Mustie!

[@jasonstarnes3838]

Another awesome vid! Even with the 3d hammer swinging!

[@hondahut]

Mustie, I enjoy your videos. Is there any way you can do a video of a front end rebuild of a split window VW Bus??? There isn't a video of this anywhere on KZbin. I think it would help many people including myself. Removal, dismantle, rebuild and reinstall. Thanks!

[@trevcessna1723]

Nice repair!! Nothing like freekin out the chickens!!😎Thanks!

[@MLWAM]

Hahaha loved the end with the chickens :)

[@djmips]

the terrified townspeople!

[@sumrica]

Me too. Likely won't lay any eggs for a week.

[@bigfilsing]

Great piece of work Top stuff

[@mjmcomputers]

Lol at the end. I need to try something like that with my chickens.

[@tamidon40]

Felt like I was going to get hit in the eye with the pointy end of that hammer. Kept blinking ...

[@NigelNaughton]

Nice work! You love that Fluid Film huh? Keep thinking about doing that to my Land Cruiser here in Minnesota.

[@garyfisher1503]

naughty Dino, scaring the chickens!

[@statix6900]

Good job mustie! If your ever in California come help me work on my early bay :) I thought one of the chickens was going to pop out an egg at the end haha.

[@johankasper3687]

Nice job👌

[@jackjacke4654]

Awesome job dude!

[@bonnie8441]

Mustie the Master Magician.

[@Bach_12]

[@mountainmangarage7572]

that dinasour at the end was the best man! Made me laugh out loud

[@terryhall7177]

Very artistic with your metal work and very interesting to watch. The dino's not winning many friends. T

[@waynebrown5428]

Another job well done!
