VW Bus Rocker Panel FAIL - ASMR Cargo Floor Restoration

[@findvoltage]

This is 100% not failing. You have learned a very valuable lesson with this MIS-TAKE. I will call you out for you self negative thoughts and words and tell you, 'you are the sun, you are loved by many and shunned by the miserable' great job Mr

[@BrandonsBus]

Words are powerful! Thank you for the encouragement and kindness, I’m so grateful for followers like you. 🙏🏼

I have been checking in daily for weeks and weeks now waiting for the next installment. I thoroughly enjoy my time sitting with a coffee and watching this project come along. Brandon...well done, sir. You are knocking it out of the park!

[@BrandonsBus]

I appreciate you checking in! Moved garages and some family stuff slowed me down, but I’m back at it every day now!

[@boblow2186]

The work on the rocker panel is a hard one. Your just about there just needs more dolly and hammer work or a slapper. To help you find the high and lows use a long body file and file the surface. The floor looks extremely nice as always. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing. Bob. 👍😁👍

[@BrandonsBus]

Thanks Bob! I definitely could keep working the panel, I need some acetylene or a shrinking disc but I think I’m going to redo it completely.

[@tobiasbostwick9002]

A very ambitious project. I admire your dedication and tenacity and truly enjoy watching your journey. Great seeing the young'un helping out too.

[@BrandonsBus]

It really is a journey, and I love getting the kids involved!

[@georgeclements2742]

Your work is superb. I can understand that you are disappointed with the panel you tried to re-use with the fill in strip, but you gave it a try. Other restorers would be happy to accept what you achieved, but you're a perfectionist: at the end of the day, what matters is whether the restorer is satisfied with the outcome, so I wouldn't describe the job as a failure, just something that didn't work out for you this time and a learning experience for the next. Best wishes.

[@BrandonsBus]

So true! Thank you for the kind comment. The perfectionist in me definitely wants to start over in some areas, but many of the repairs are strong enough and will look straight with some fiberglass reinforced filler.

This is the most useful video on YT. For us, who restore our van :D Thanks man! Keep going, please!

[@BrandonsBus]

I appreciate it! Not stopping anytime soon. 🙂

[@DanTheManIOM]

there are a few others, too, like Mike FN Garage, Marcie June Bug and Demop Garage in Australia....and Florian in Germany, and two other Germans...why not learn another language as you restore these classics ? Ich mochte !

[@BrandonsBus]

I appreciate the watch :)

[@weshipitjamaica4354]

Bredda yuh skills bad!!!

[@BrandonsBus]

I’m very much in the beginner category but I’ll get the hang of it.

[@yorgTube]

It feels more like a prototype build than a refit.

[@BrandonsBus]

Hahah true

[@Itsallaboutthebuild]

Nice, how do you like that harbor freight spot welder?

[@BrandonsBus]

The 220v version works much better than the 120!

[@Itsallaboutthebuild]

@@BrandonsBus good to know

[@grey-ram]

Like! Respect!

[@DemopVWgarage]

Rocker panel is fine just need more time on it ;) skim coat will hide most of it .

[@BrandonsBus]

My rabid perfectionism says it’s not fine.

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@BrandonsBus😂 I hear you but you want to be driving that thing before the kid goes to college 😜

[@Teddy-vv9iz]

👍👍👍👍

[@DanTheManIOM]

I think I was sent this channel to UP my GAME ! damn..... but, ok, I will improve every freakin day.

[@handyhopey1404]

At 6:20 , did you make that outrigger? I’m about to do almost all of the same repairs on the floor of my 72

[@BrandonsBus]

I ended up buying all new outriggers, they were really inexpensive and helped me with the placement of the inner rockers.

[@marcodada1094]

If you see this Bully, how it was rusted hidden, in between the metals... I would never buy one like these, because I couldn't repair it. I mean there are none Bully without that rust - or am I wrong?

[@BrandonsBus]

I don’t know, I think they are all pretty rusted out. This one more than most 🙃

[@robharris9656]

OMG why would you weld a strip between the rocker panels????? I know why you regret this lol. WARPING

[@BrandonsBus]

Hahaha I know right, I learned a valuable lesson that day 😭 but i guess that’s how anything goes, you suck at it first and then the mistakes are what make you better.
