Hey you guys should do a start to finish edit. take all the footage download it from youtube and make a video of the whole process. they always do well. just editing work. not too bad. I am uploading one right now.

[@MicBergsma]

Hey Mike! Yes, we already have a plan for something like that! :) stay tuned! hope you are well

[@583706]

Wow the craftsmanship and hours being put into the interiors so far is mind blowing…. Learning just how detailed the next stage is after seeing the metal and paintwork. Loving the colour choice inside and look forward to the next video. Also it’s nice to see you both living in a house after sleeping in a bus for so loooong !!!!!! 😊

[@MicBergsma]

Was definitely an upgrade!

[@LRose-72]

Yay glad ya back since last one. 👋👋👋👋👋

[@RaymondMaher-x5w]

[@cariq7112]

Hi Lori&Mic! 👋😊 It's coming to Interior and windows! 🤗 It's like the finish for KONA! 😍 The colours of the Interior look awesome! The guys make a wonderful job! And you know what!? You both look so happy!❣️ I enjoyed watching this Episode so much! See you at the next one! Greetings from the home of 🇩🇪VOLKSWAGEN! 🇩🇪WOLFSBURG 🇩🇪

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you ! We are so happy here!

[@jimmyeatshoe]

It’s great to see upholstery done in so much detail. Car tv shows and other YT channels tend to gloss over this part! Amazing professionalism by these guys! Thanks Mitch and Lori for your hard work bringing us these videos 🤙❤

[@MicBergsma]

Appreciate it!

[@ExploringTheWestCoast]

I don't think I've ever seen a better video segment of interior work/headliners/panels being done! It was so satisfying to watch! They are doing some beautiful work! Great video guys! Kona is going to be a spectacular bus! I'm good to be getting one of those killer shirts as well! 🤙

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you so much!

[@keithreeve5911]

So glad you are back it seemed so long since the last. keep the quality up and it always works out good. You deserve the best for all the effort you both put in. I worked the bodyshops for 50 years so I know the effort required. Love you all. UK

[@fernandolrocha]

Congratulations to the West Coast team. I realized that they are great professionals. Kona is in good hands.

[@smithnyiu]

This episode should get 1 Million views. So incredibly interesting and rewarding. Great editing too.

[@MicBergsma]

Much appreciated !

[@mb2042]

These are really deddicated people, it was great seeing them work. Glad that Kona is getting the royal treatment.

[@MicBergsma]

It was great working with them!

[@chrissingewald546]

Kona is not a bus ! It’ a piece of art!!! Can’t wait to see it finished!

[@ByaheniPhab]

[@stevelozano9523]

Man, those upholstery guys are animals to get job done.👍

[@MicBergsma]

Inspiring huh?

[@CJLeTeff]

Wow these guys are amazing!! 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@RandonBrown]

Great to see some real action after so many episodes or more or less waiting over there at Skinner. Looks awesome!

[@KH102695]

The work ethic at this shop is amazing!! The quality of their work is excellent! I love the material you are using on your seats. The interior is what can really make or break a restoration, it looks like you are in the right spot. It's going to look amazing!!!

[@MicBergsma]

Agree and thank you!

[@Rick.Colorado]

Wow, what a nice change of scenery. It's nice to see everyone focusing on your bus, rather than everyone else doing something else like at the other shop. This should go fast!

[@MicBergsma]

Agree!!

[@davidhomen4528]

I love the "ALL HANDS ON DECK" approach West Coast Interior has taken to get you in and out! What an awesome company!

[@MicBergsma]

Yeah very professional and organized team! I am impressed!

[@kevinthomas8025]

Whooo hoooo, love me some #konathebus

[@dansheirer5413]

I think you found the “A” Team of upholstery guys Mitch. Great work and awesome video.

[@MicBergsma]

Definitely !

[@BigRed80]

That’s awesome you guys came to Silverton! I was born and raised and still live here. I bought a 1964 beetle from Morrie a couple of years ago. They delivered it right to my garage, great guys. Very family oriented as well, which I respect! Too bad we didn’t know you were in the area at that time!

[@MicBergsma]

Such great people! That's cool!

[@LaszloBagi]

Nice to see great craftsmanship

[@MaShcode]

You can tell they’re pros by the they decant the glue resin. 😊 Beautiful upholstery skills and shop! ❤ Nicely edited.

[@MicBergsma]

I love the details! :)

[@michaelbias3438]

@@MicBergsma it's impressive watching someone who is so good at their work. Man, what a difference between Vacaville and the Oregon shops. You can see the gratitude and appreciation in your faces.

[@unclesheavy769]

Wow, very beautiful! real professionals, and so relaxed, they work hard, and long hours. the bus is really beautiful, very nice colors, good choice.👌👌👌 kind regards, Chester from the Netherlands.👍✌

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you!

[@mattgreven7615]

She really is beautiful! I hope you can get her insured for about $300,000. It's the most labor-intensive resto I've ever seen--I'd be afraid to take her on the road!

[@Shadowgrey5937]

wow what amazing artisans !!! Bet you wish you would have done the whole build here ? major pros!!! thanks for the video!!!

[@MicBergsma]

Yeah wish we had known about them

[@aliensprtcrico]

The overtime of that group of guys was great. But the work seems to be on another level.

[@renewarmer7307]

A life is too short for the pauses between your episodes.

[@HTIEK87]

Sexy Kona! Cant wait see the next episode already!!!!! The shop look great and the staff work hard!

[@fredbuhl]

Wow--these guys are going hard right out of the gate! Kona looking beautiful too...onward!

[@MicBergsma]

[@velmathemini]

[@brilog69]

[@ZenWithKen]

I'm not taking anything away from the other shop, but what a difference. Thanks for sharing!

[@TMF1954]

Awesome Mitch, just awesome. These guys are really pros. I'm really enjoying this resto and 99% of the people you've worked with have been fantastic. I can't wait to see you get in and drive away in Kona with you and Lori smiling like Cheshire cats.

[@FrankWhite842]

You can always tell when people are paid good $. They are happy.

[@frederikeduard]

Hello Mitch and Lori, great that you are doing well again. An interesting professional upholsterer! A nice green village and healthy walk! We're looking forward to episode 75!

[@BrokenWrenches]

wow, now thats a professional team of workers. Ive been looking forward to this part.

[@MicBergsma]

Pros for sure!

[@izaak.salomon5048]

Piękny! ❤️

[@fonhollohan2908]

A real discipline organized shop that can get things accomplished must feel so much more refreshing. Cheers nice progress.

[@MicBergsma]

The biggest breath of fresh air ever!!

[@derekwalters6132]

Holy crap Mic what a difference a shop makes, Robert’s shop had a few guys that were willing to help with Kona, I could see the frustration on your face while you were waiting for certain people to come into work and showed up 4-5 hrs late and then would ignore you. This shop they can’t seem to do enough for you, and I’m really glad to see that smile back on your face. Now just be careful you don’t want to spoil that wife of yours, after almost a year of sleeping in a rusty van you’ve now got her in a real bed and a place you can actually sit down with room enough to stretch your legs after a day of working on Kona. Not only that but hot and cold running water. LOL. This is the way this build should have been from the start, can’t wait for the next one. Kona’s really starting to come together now.

[@jamie-r2034]

The 2 shops are completely different though (specialty shop vs auto body shop). I work at an auto body shop & some jobs have to take precedence over others, especially when it comes to insurance jobs. We sometimes get classics in that are customer pay jobs & work on them in between the ones that are being paid for by insurance companies. We don't rush any job & the classics take more time than others. We could also get 6 new jobs in 1 day that need to be done within a certain amount of time. The weeks we don't have as many, then we can work on other things. When people are dealing with insurance companies, customers in rental cars, staffing issues, etc, you have to try to prioritize the best you can. Skinners shop is like ours & understand what he goes through. Looks like this shop has a certain schedule & only takes in a few at a time vs dealing with a high over turn of vehicles, so the bus doesn't sit as much.

[@MicBergsma]

@derekwalters6132 What a difference it makes when you have people that are organized, professional, no drama, and realize the value in the advertising they are getting huh? :) Lori is definitely enjoying the upgrade! haha Thanks for the comment Derek! 😄

[@Ron-d2g]

I’m glad to see you guys are back and smiling,l was beginning to wonder if something had gone terribly wrong in your lives 😊😊😊

[@PeterBeard-s6o]

Hi guys I’ve been watching your build from day one and I’m sure you two are very dedicated to the project, But don’t let anyone put you down for being so passionate about your project, it’s an amazing project built with a great amount of passion I would love to see more episodes at least once a week or fortnight would be great,you and your lovely wife make a wonderful team,keep up the good work can’t wait to see it finished,from Peter Australia 😊😊

[@MicBergsma]

Cheers Peter! 🙌

[@acpaterson]

Amazing workshop., and such a different working attitude from the previous place. Think you made the right choice, Kona's gonna look amazeballs guys. 😎

[@MicBergsma]

It’s amazing, organized and professional, so blessed to work with them! Thank you! 😊

[@WrittlesCave]

Fascinating, who knew, so much work and expertise!

[@Ron-d2g]

Your Absence was noted Sir . I am glad to see all is well and you guys are smiling , I was beginning to wonder if something had gone terribly wrong in your lives 😊😊😊

[@outdooraf]

I am in awe of the craftmanship, dedication, and time this new shop has already put into this project

[@MicBergsma]

Ditto!

[@ncdave4]

One of the BEST vids in awhile.. quite unlike the work at the shop in CA.. nice to see some of the detail that goes into their work..

[@MicBergsma]

[@MP...111]

It's looking great. Amazing skills involved for all that interior work.

[@santoscardona1]

Great video. Fascinated by the details.

[@jasonmoses6207]

Watching the guy do the headliner was impressive. There are some interesting and unexpected (to me, anyway) areas of expertise in the automotive world.

[@MicBergsma]

absolutely! that's why I show the details.. so much work goes into these projects.. people have no idea

[@S2NAZ]

OHHHH YEAAAAA!!! So happy to see Kona coming together as I’m sure you both are 😁 This is a killer shop and the skill sets are AAA+++ I love the colors you chose in the interior, classy and cute 👍🏻 I’m really looking forward to the next episode, thank you! ❤

coming along nicely...well done y'all...👍

[@v12dot]

Looking good guys ❤️ Back in 1987 , I bought a 64 split camper from an old guy who owned it from new . Lots of rust on the floor and front wheel arches . I didn’t have much money at the time , with 2 kids , but being a bus mechanic I made my own panels and welded her all up . I had the trimmer re-trim the upholstery with bus seat moquette and set about painting her . I found a tin of dark blue paint and mixed it with some white , and came up with a shade close to yours 🤣 Believe it or not I only paid £450 for her , and sold her for £750 3 years later ! Thought I had done well 😢. Can’t wait to see yours finished …..TC 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@waterislife.9204]
