[@mattschamel6550]

I can't get enough of your videos! By far you have the easiest to consume content on VWs. The knowledge you've shared and the way you share it makes me feel like I'm right there hangin out with you! Build that dream car!

[@TheEZGZ]

Wow, thank you!

[@cenccenc946]

I look forward to watching your project; so, I can properly procrastinate about my own project. 😆

The subscriber's will love whatever you decide to do 👍👍👍

[@TheEZGZ]

Ya can't please everyone so ya got to please yourself. Wasn't there a garden party and a song about that.... Ricky Nelson ???

[@brenton-lucas]

Catchy tune

Glad to see you back on the camera my friend, hope your doing well, love all that you do for the vw community!

[@kasteph50]

Wishing you well! You helped get me get going again after a 40 year hiatus. Losing a wife to a heart attack, then fighting multiple Myeloma. Built a new engine and somehow bought a buggy that I worked on back in 1980. And 4 owners later. Assembled Roadster here in Michigan. Keep on keeping on! It's a 2way street here! I'll buy you supper if you ever get this way!

[@TheEZGZ]

Keep on Keeping on brother. Do they even have somothered burrito's in MI ?

[@kasteph50]

@TheEZGZ Absolutely! El Mariachi here in town makes awesome Wet burritos!

[@13badbrad1]

Aging process! Such a wonderful thing. Hang in there, your doing great.

[@TheEZGZ]

Wow, thanks. I appreciate your friendship and support

[@ralphparrick8088]

Great to see you again on here!! Keep fighting the fight! We may not see you as much but we will take what you give us! I look forward to seeing this build!

[@TheEZGZ]

I appreciate that

[@jamesgogniat6698]

EZGZ….many of us have been watching you for years. We will continue to watch you! Since some of us are brothers in the faith . While others are brothers in friendship. Can you confirm your first name for us? I believe you have called yourself Gregg. I feel like we are friends, but I don’t know your name for sure. I am Rev. Jim from North Texas. Keep Smiling…..you inspire us, so please feel the blessing that comes with this message. I am sure I represent the hearts of others as well. We will wait for your next video. The love we feel from you has become an extension of yourself. Thanks!

[@TheEZGZ]

Gregory Zupon is the name. VW cars is the game. The good lord has opened many doors along my path and used this to help me keep my sanity. He has showed me many things along the way. I am in contact with my creator every waking moment and ask for his guidance

[@user-zn9bj4wv1o]

Great to see you again Sir 😀👍 From Norway 🇳🇴

[@TheEZGZ]

Hey, thanks!

[@pretzyldog]

Well Dude even if you lose 20% of what you remember its still more than the rest of us. Stay well.

[@hoverlogix5554]

Hello 👋 You have my attention Sir. Time to get back to my buggy . Thanks for your motivation 😅vw love ❤️ hate✌️

[@culturedredneckgarage3784]

EZGZ, I just want to say that I (we) really appreciate you and what you do for us here on your channel, and that you are indeed a blessing to us all! In many ways, you are somewhat of an elder statesman to those of us slightly younger than yourself here in the VW community - teaching and sharing with us insights in this hobby that quickly die out if not passed on....(by the way, don't read that as me saying that your old 😄). Anyways, thanks again for your inspiration, as it has encouraged me to teach what I know both to my son and to those that follow my little channel as well. God bless, brother!

[@TheEZGZ]

I am humbled by your comment. You are a lucky man if your son is receptive to your knowledge and interests. You folks in the VW community have become my extended family and I appreciate you all more than you know. God Bless and Protect us all.

[@duggy788]

great to see you back we missed you .

[@afxcyclone]

Looking forward to your build!

[@bugdrvr1971]

EZ, I wish my garage looked like yours. For having all that you do, It looks organized

[@TheEZGZ]

I wish!

[@bigrodney1453]

Good stuff EZGZ!! We’re still rollin with ya!! Thanks for passing on all your knowledge over the years, I’ve personally learned a whole lot from ya!! Keep em coming!!!!

[@TheEZGZ]

I appreciate that!

[@reddmann2216]

Pushing 65 in Jan..my last project is my birth year 59 deluxe Ive been building my way ...along with a trailer to carry it and my 93 xlh with rolling shop and sleeping quarters...I too see everything taking longer than it once did...but still i cant quit...apathy is a killer. God be with you...

[@dmparker]

Greg, thanks so much for posting and sharing your thoughts. You have helped those of us that are in the same place in life as you. I have enjoyed all of your videos and look forward to seeing anything that you post. God bless you my friend!

[@TheEZGZ]

I appreciate that!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Build your dream car! Do it for you! Take us along for the journey so we can see your progress! Do what you can when you can.

[@TheEZGZ]

Thank you so much Gary. You had a lot to do with my inspiration

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@TheEZGZ guess it goes both ways then…. You’ve inspired me a great deal over the years.

[@DdyzbBarton-ks5pw]

Watched the whole EZGZ library learned so much thank you for sharing your knowledge and love for Volkswagens on and off road!

[@TheEZGZ]

Everyone has a opinion. Mine come from personal experience. Thanks for watching

[@robbyd.4037]

Totally following along .. You've got this :)

[@larrymcgarage2152]

I’m here in Arkansas, wish I was closer to you. I’d help you meet the dreams you have. But reality, I can’t help you. Wish I could but it ain’t gonna happen. I feel your frustration as I am 57 years old, I feel the time pressure myself to get things done. Seems there isn’t enough time. I hope the best for you. Maybe you can find a young person with the same interest as you. I don’t know if there are any young people with the same heart and love that we have for these old cars.

[@TheEZGZ]

I have 11 grandchildren 4 of the great. Just got a new great grandson. Heres hoping one of them will love turning a wrench

[@chris3151]

I am so glad to see that you are doing good. I love watching your vids no matter what learn more tricks about these old vws my first car was a 1973 vw bug and didn't like it at first the the bug bit me and started growing on me and I started enjoying it more and grew more appreciation for these old vw that I had to get another one 1966 vw baja bug But anyways enough rambling just really glad to see you doing a video again an hope to see you build your dream car and thank you soo much for making these videos for us to watch❤❤❤

[@TheEZGZ]

Your throwing more wood on my motivation fire brother.

[@vw_beachbuggybrookster]

Good to see your new video , Great work EZGZ 👍

[@vintagespeedvw7864]

Your looking good Sounding good And the transmission builds will be great to watch. Glad your having fun.

[@TheEZGZ]

Fun is a relative term. Great to see them but allways nice to see them go. hehehe I want my garage back and to meet as many U tube friends as I can.

[@daveglick5152]

hope it works out for you. I'll be keeping track. cheers EZ.

[@MikefromMOMichaelTurner227]

Hey bud, I’m excited about your project!! If you have to use fewer cameras.. whatever you have to do we will be watching!!! 😀 mt.

[@troyhiett1885]

So glad to see you ez. While i miss your weekly videos im glad your enjoying your life. Its the only one you got. Maybe you found that camera girl you were always looking for.

[@TheEZGZ]

I hope so too!

[@christophertallman3620]

Been watching for several years and learned alot of tips and tricks. Build your dream car, and I personally think you should just set up a camera and time lapse alot of it. There are plenty of us that would watch because we know your current situation. And if you ever do get up here to Michigan, you would have a big group to ride with once the new car is done! Hang in there!

[@daveburton2452]

keep Going EZ, good to see you back at it. you've helped with my 66 bus more than once, especially the twin carbs and my freeway flyer gearbox build. keep em coming 😃😃

[@TheEZGZ]

Great to hear!

[@V8N8T]

The great volksmaster EZGZ himself back at it :) a virtual burrito might help ya get into gear :) we all appreciate the videos even if it's just fiddling around in the garage. I haven't been doing too many videos myself been enjoying time with my 16 month old son and when I make it out to the garage to work on my many projects it's work time because as you know filming takes a lot of time. Glad to see ya out and moving God bless you, you have reached a lot of vw people throughout the years and helped many of them. One of these days I'd love to drive my bug over and shoot the shit and get a burrito or two:) As always catch ya on the flip side

[@vwcol..7719]

Looking forward to this build😊..

[@TheEZGZ]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@dragnutzrc]

EZ, load up all your stuff you need to store and come out to Indiana. I have all the room you need. Also have a little experience in fabrication. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Enjoy and learned a lot from your videos. Keep keeping on my friend.

[@TheEZGZ]

Cool, thanks.... Any public land there to have some offroad fun?

[@SlimWizard69]

Hey man, I hit 5000 miles In my bug rebuild thanks to your videos, keep on keeping on!!!

[@davidsopko9630]

[@TheEZGZ]

Love watching you guys up in Michigan. Have learned a lot from the WiLD J WAY!!!! Your definitley on my bucket list to the Helena Poker run and hitting silver lake. I' have to figure a way to make this new ride legal up there. Might even have to have a Awooooga Horn :-)

[@MichaelAnderson-nh4gu]

Man it is good to see you out and about in the garage. I wish I lived closer I would be over in a heartbeat to help with the new buggy. I myself just turned 70 , I like the idea of a new light rail build . Good luck and stay safe.

[@TheEZGZ]

Hummmmmm I have a spare room. I spend a lot of time at my girlfriends house. Just can't seem to get her to clean greasy parts. hehehehe Need someone to teach me how to weld better.

[@kevinhamling1963]

Hey Mr EZGZ, Its great to see you up on the KZbin and out in your garage. But i rekin you need a helper we can't do it all ourselves as father time does catch up with us. And great to hear romance is happening in your life. So thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

[@paulneuman1060]

Great video!!! Your doing an awesome job. I wish I lived in your neighborhood, I would be one of those annoying neighbors that would be over to your house all the time picking your brain and your experience. GOOD JOB !!!!!

Hey, thanks

Man I love your sand rail. You’d have fun with that here in all the dirt trails.

[@TheEZGZ]

Can't wait to see your new ride out on the trail. Took me 3 years after I built my red tub buggy to get it offroad and dirty

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@TheEZGZ well…. I’ve been on the road since august and it’s hitting some trails this coming weekend. Several of us are doing an off road adventure. Can’t wait to see how it performs out there.

We appreciate ya EZ some of us still love vws and Bajas aka the original side by side. I’m new to the vw world.

Love it man appreciate all your helpful tips and info!!! THANKS!!

[@TheEZGZ]

Happy to help!

[@muzzcovw7674]

Good to see you friend! Great to hear you're still going, and have a girlfriend. It's super important to keep trying to live your "normal" life as we age otherwise It's way too easy to just quit. Don't worry about perfect editing etc. We appreciate any video you release. Also as far as what you said about your brain/stroke etc. My mom was in health care and said that she's seen this happen after a bout of heavy anesthesia in older people. Also, I've had the issue you speak of since I was 20 haha. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@TheEZGZ]

Thank You and God Bless
