[@ChrisStaeck]

What a CRAFTSMAN Larry !!! You have a well stocked shop with all the tools and you use them. You even fix Coleman stuff on the side ! CHEERS !!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Hey Chris, Thanks 😊 for jumping onboard. Most of my tools are worn out. I try to get by with the stuff I have. I do like to use my hands to make stuff or fix things. You know, Us old Coleman folks are always fiddling around with something! 😬

[@Illsamustache]

That is so cool! I love the diamond pattern. Perfectly fits the 50’s vibe. Great job, Larry!! 😃👍🏻

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

[@OldVolksTV]

Looks great! It's always fun to make little upgrades and then test them out on the trail.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

It really is! The Video you did about your find, Man that L 380 turquoise Bug is real nice!

[@OldVolksTV]

That's a super nice car.

The guys you helped Sunday morning before leaving the show! Keep the good videos and I’ll be around!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Hey, Ola! Happy to help! I do remember. It was fun camping and talking to you folks all weekend, from Buses, Coleman Lanterns to the mangos by the sea. :o) I hope to make it next year. Peace my friend!!

[@richardramirez8472]

Hey Larry, you were working on this project when I picked up my new favorite bike. It turned our very cool. Job well done🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Yes sir! Just got back from a three day Ord Mountain / Johnson Valley run. Thanks for the props my brother. 👍

[@donaldbrittsan984]

Back in the 50's and 60's when my grandfather had the dealership in Fresno, a company came and converted panel vans to campers, they sold like hotcakes! I wish I could have gotten more info from my dad before he passed away, but my uncle had his into the 1980's,

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Did you get to visit Brittsan Motors a lot as a kid? That was a busy busy place back in the day.

[@donaldbrittsan984]

@@VintageOverlandAdventures yeah I remember when I was around 4yrs old my dad and I would go to a lot where the new bugs were stored and he would hook up a battery, start the car, take out the battery and I would sit on the tunnel with a rag wrapped around the positive cable then we would take the car into the shop to get prepped for the show room running off the generator.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Wow, What great memories! My family would go out to Glamis, Dumont Dune and Pismo. (I was 4 also )

[@ANDRE-VW]

Hello Larry !!!!! Man, your bus is awesome !!!! The interior is becoming perfect. I really like this 50's or 60's style. Keep going. About the maintenance vídeos, I like too. Take care my friend.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thanks For watching!👍It's been a fun, a handful of thing to finish on the interior, but she's close!

[@michaelmadore3292]

Looking great Larry hope to camp with you at Silverado. Really an inspiration to make me get mine more finished.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Can't wait! Thanks for the props. 🙂

[@MattsGarageMiscDIY]

Larry, curious if you have a video where you showcase the solar set-up in the bus. Curious what size panel that is on the roof, what charge controller you are running, how much battery bank you have etc to power that Dometic fridge. Great stuff, keep it up.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

No, sorry. If I get over PCS, I'll be happy to make a video of the solar setup. 175 Watt 12 Volt Flexible Monocrystalline Solar Panel & 170 Ah Battery. The longest I've ran my Frig (Inside the shop) was 6 days and still had power left over. 😉 - Renogy

[@barryandbonnievandergreft2265]

Hey Larry! That looks fantastic! To my eye, it could pass as an after market camper interior option from the late 50s' to the 60s'. Renovation..., more like "Reno Van ation". Have a restful night my friend.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

That would be cool! Reno Works! From dog houses to to sprinters, and throw in a Man cave or a lady lounge every once in awhile. 🤣😂😉 Back to sitting in the desert watching the wind blow…. 🤪

[@yoshinoyajones8924]

is the angle u used for the cabinets steel or aluminum? Looke awesome!!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

1/2” steel on the angle and flat stock. 🙂

[@jeffsegui3280]

Looks great wish I had the skills to do cabinets. Would like to do so 23 layout in my 62. Jeff with the 62 VW bus from Niagara falls Ontario Canada

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Me too, the last cabinet was the best and the first I really should redo it. 😬
