MY 1959 VW Patina Truck is leaving me,

I built this truck 10ish years ago and has been a great truck for me but nothing is forever so its time for crusty to have a new home, but l have a replacement in the works,

[@manytrickpony695]

the curator said it right: "the person behind it is the *real* story."

[@shaneellasdaicastrestorati3675]

Made me so sad listening to the story behind crusty

[@AnthonyCurreri]

I couldn't understand what this comment meant until the end. LOL. Curator? Hahaha

[@neilmurphy845]

Yeah so true

[@harmlesscreationsofthegree1248]

Mustie, I initially had a little sadness, then you explained some of the sadness you were carrying and I had a little moment with you man. And then I realised how lucky I am to have found your channel out and how fortunate we all are that you share everything with us. You are a really, really good dude, and I love ya 😽

[@SkaterStimm]

Mustie has gotten me through some tough times and has resparked my interest in the Volkswagens. I have a shiny restored bus and my patina VW truck just like him and I am proud of it.

[@rblscapes]

Great script, great acting, great plot twist

[@waynemetzger653]

Nailed it right on the head. Very well said.

Hats off to Mustie for two things: For opening his heart to us about this old truck; and, For putting his old truck into a great place that will allow us to go and take a look at it!

[@BigBeardBuilds]

Says the guy who owns hundreds of cars that literally add up to tens of millions of dollars combined.

[@alericjohansen6775]

Unless you put the car for scrape because both the engine and transmission died on you, thus isn't worth the money to get it fixed. Yeah, I had that happen to me. The body and frame were great, but the engine and transmission decided to die on me. Well, the engine was getting ready to die when the transmission died. It had rod knock. Still technically saveable if you had the expertise and equipment to tear the engine apart and such...but for someone like me who is homeless....yeah not really possible.

[@wildthinair]

“You’re repairing the vehicle and you’re repairing yourself at the same time” - Mustie1 ❤️

While listening to your story about the VW I began to feel quite sad. The truck seemed to be such an important part of your life and a fixture of the video's. I felt relieved when the end of the video came to light. Good of you to make her available for the public to see.

To be displayed at a museum is such an honor, feel proud you should be.

From famous pottery from my great grandfather to my father with oil paintings and niece with watercolors paintings that have been displayed at the Prada in Madrid Spain. Glad your not getting rid of crusty

That vehicle is so much a part of your channel...I've grown a little older, along with it, as the years have pasted enjoying your content.

Congratulations man - the curator was right: it's the person behind the work that is the real story.
