Yeah ITS ABOUT TIME!! Restoring An Old Retired Ambulance. AMBULANCE CAMPER

[@donaldfrazier5244]

Great to see our old pal Lauren, looks like retirement is treating him well! Brilliant mechanics are like having a gold mine!

[@Makeitbymandy]

He was so kind to come and help me. We needed a part (of course) so I couldnt get it off the lift last night, but it looks like today is the day!! 🤞

[@PaulaMarquez-w6q]

It's nice to see Lauren again! He was missed.

[@scottamaral5073]

It’s about time Loren!! Welcome back 🎉

[@Phoenix_Adventures]

So great to see Lauren and it's great to see the old ambo getting modernized

[@lindadonahue9279]

This is going to be exciting! So happy to see Loren!!!

[@GuitarJohn421]

Nice to see the old crowd back together.

[@RoaringRanger]

So many talented people around there.

[@zak-a-roo264]

Plastic food wrap over the wet repair and you can smooth it out very nicely, peal it off when it hardens....surfboard/boat repair hacks!!

[@desertsky505]

HOORAY!!! Very exciting update. Really nice to see Loren again. And it's great to see Amanda making progress. Even Cruzie looks really excited

[@LenSilvester]

Hi Chrome! I do build custom fiberglass campers and repair truck caps, etc. For small repairs and spider cracks, preparing like you did is great! Make sure to wipe down well with acetone or mineral spirits for a dust free surface. Instead of using cloth/matt and resin, buy some long strand fiberglass filler (upol or bondo brand are locally sourced). It’s easier to work with, sand able/grinder in 30 minutes and easy to shape. Then use a finer fiberfiller as a finish coat, sand, paint.

[@DavidEstrella-bg2ph]

Try spray foam inside of the big holes it will build up and you will have something to smear your paste over

[@Janer-52]

"I love it when a plan comes together!" Watching you now for years, to see the evolution of your dreams is so encouraging. Bravo!

[@loriecorona8316]

Lauren! It’s been far too long not seeing him on the channel!

[@jerrodhawbaker7985]

Hello Crome and boss Amanda. Hope y’all are doing great I love my shirts. Going to put the bumper stickers one the back of my power wheelchair

[@shariselove]

We really needed to see Loren. ..like for real!😅😊

[@danielmorrissey5118]

It was so awesome to see you guys❤❤❤❤ together . What a treat.

[@ericvize3336]

hey Chrome, I think it would look pretty cool if the back lights were done in Diamond plate metal

[@marynaylor2203]

Boat Repair woman here....epoxy with West system 410. Its lite brown and easy to sand.

[@karllinden7089]

Missed not seeing Loren on the channel... Hope he is enjoying retirement 🥂

[@sharonoldham4374]

Thanks for the update. Have a great weekend. Today is Friday the 13th

[@tommurray2653]

Hi Chrome stick with single rear wheels. The military only uses single rear wheels so that there is NO chance for a rock to get wedged in between the tire sidewalls and destroy one OR both at the same time. When I was a highway truck driver some years ago I had this happen to me on the highway, not off road where there are lots of rocks. Have a nice day. Tom in the Maritimes at the NB-NS border.

[@JohnAhlquist-p1r]

Been looking forward to the start of this project.

[@TheOffroadCamper]

Chrome, you can fill the holes with polyester foam as a backing. It’s commonly used in mold, making and plugs in the fiberglass industry. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a fiberglass roller. It won’t speed things along with spreading resin and you don’t have to worry about the fiberglass and the resin sticking to a brush or your gloves.

[@sunnydaze229]

Appreciate you Cruz & the crew. Fun to watch.

[@dpdiver1]

I'm not sure on the 7.3 but the 6.0 has a throttle position sensor. Can cause a dead pedal. A failing throttle position sensor (TPS) on a 7.3 diesel engine can manifest as symptoms like: rough idling, sluggish acceleration, stalling or surging, poor fuel economy, hesitation during acceleration, engine knocking or shaking, and in some cases, a check engine light due to incorrect readings sent to the engine control unit (ECU).

[@Foreveroutthere]

Building the Beast !

[@cat3crazy]

To fill a hole where you can't get access to the back side, you get some wire mesh (a bit larger than the hole), put it in the hole with some string or wire attached. Then you can pull the mesh back to the opening with the string. If you do it right, you will something to put the putty (whatever) on. When you are done, cut the string or wire.

[@AmusedDaffodils-mz5rw]

That's badass I like that

[@lucboisseau5586]

That Demers ambulance look so good, very fluid lines. Sad I love the rear lights quite unique. An option, make them blend with the dame colour of the surround paint. Also you can fill large cracks with foam filler spray can but that will force you to using epoxy instead of ployester resins. Love it.

[@kimprocarione5473]

Finally 😅 I'm talking about the ambo and Loren!!!! 🎉

[@JCBthree]

Awesome seeing loren in the shop! Makes it feel like a shop!

[@asaprocky8195]

Talk about synchronicity, I was just wondering about Loren, and if he ever comes by your shop these days. It's as though the two of you had a major fall out. And, there he is in this episode. Nice to see he's looking well, and that you two still have smiles and cheer in your voices for each other. Merry Christmas Loren! Keep well.

[@Shawn-ee2jg]

Go pedal has a potentiometer on it as well as what's under the hood, wires should be checked considering the age and dielectric grease is your best friend for those connections possibly following up into the injector driver module if things continue. Have a 97 E350 myself... Beware any rodents, they caused me a considerable amount of grief. Peace to you brother Chrome.

[@larryg2696]

What's up weirdos ✌️✌️ hey chrome got a tip for you bud take a drill bit find the end of the crack and drill a little hole through it what that does it prevents it from cracking even more even after you resonant epoxy it will still crack underneath if you don't stop the crack

[@bobrouse8634]

We used to use storm door screen mesh wire fastened to the back side. Then apply the fiberglass, let dry, and sand.

[@meowzic]

Get one of those follow along electric golf caddies and hook your camera rig to it 😄

[@auntyv]

VANbulance.

[@andyrichey1192]

Hey, it’s Lauren super cool to see him. Yes, I’ve been following him to chrome.👍👍

[@jimv77]

Hope all the HATERS asking where Loren is....are now happy!... LOL!

[@valeriaproductions]

Project RAPTOR!!! SO HAPPY TO SEE LOREN!❤❤❤❤❤

[@maryellencook9528]

Name it Rambo the Ambo because the heart of the right is a Beast.😊 Howdy Loren! 😊👋🖐🤚

[@stanleyj.mitchell4851]

So, the build of Chrome’s new home begins.

[@virginiacaston1456]

Nice!! I remember when you bought it. It will be fun seeing what you do with it. 😊

[@diywarren1776]

Well, if that’s the case, get tail lights that look like disco and Cruzie

[@TheOffroadCamper]

You can use polyester, resin, and micro spears or fine chopped fiberglass strand to fill in the cracks

[@jimbauer5560]

Good to see Loren!! Hopefully he will be back more often… Glad you are starting the ambulance! Double V’s Chrome!

[@jedijakobi8978]

Vinyl wrap it as Cruze and call it the Cruzer, with his face on the hood, stub tail rear wing.. and you can call the new bumper the underbite bumper😅

[@Makeitbymandy]

Hahaha. Or cover it in fur like the shaggin wagon in dumb and dumber 😂😂

[@dynoreed7235]

💯!

[@rrhopewell]

Super ready for the van design 🎉❤adventures

[@WisconsinAdventures]

A lot of us enjoy the "quirks" of filming alone. Not everyone likes videos that look like productions. The simple grab a camera and vlog is what KZbin was built on and how it should stay. this isn't Netflix..

[@jimc5624]

Change the offset on the rear to push it out some to give the appearance of super single. Oh and the pedal problem it's Murphy's 4 law when you have someone there who can fix it the problem won't happen

[@klmcwhirter]

TBH, I was more interested in seeing that Loren is doing well. Hope for more of an update on him ...

[@Makeitbymandy]

You can always watch Lorens channel to know what he is up to :). Lole’s Offroad and Overland.

[@dross24MA]

For filling the holes, go talk with a body mechanic and utilize the knowledge of dry wall repairs. Putting a substrate piece inside-to-the-back of the hole and then puttying it over works really well. For example, we used to do metal repairs by hammering out an old license plate and welding/pop-riveting it in place, then Bond-O sealing it.

[@ARCinthe603]

YES!

[@ronburtonchannel1367]

You can use spray foam that expands and dries. Trim and sand the excess to your shape

[@crazycajun1572]

Project it's about TIME

[@fisherkieds6282]

About damn time,this is the build I've been waiting for and the whole reason I'm subscribed

[@windopelli9486]

Yeah There ya go! Chrome Custom VV by VANTOYS. Think about doing the paint job with bed Liner and with Paint Rollers . Just for giggles to give inspiration to budget mined folks here in utube land.

[@TonyPhillips-jy7ev]

Can’t wait see it built ! Thx chrome

[@vanlifecarjunkies858]

Avalanche Grey from Ford one year only color for the F150 raptor that color looks gray. Looks white looks blue. It is an amazing color.

[@ronedelenbos272]

Nice seeing Lauren stop in its been a while. Chrome when buying 33 or 35 shop for weight, you can save some fuel milage and lighter unsprung weight gives a better ride. Just a thought.

[@allenhaynes2662]

GM Cypress Grey is a sweet color .

[@andyrichey1192]

Yeah, awesome chrome, she is going to be so awesome. Can’t wait to see what you do with the ambo.👍👍 i’m here watching 5:30 PM Wednesday, December 11

[@mattshortsle7948]

Van needs a 6" lift and a kelderman air suspension. Fully adjustable. Go from 6-12" lift for clearance in the bush. And instead of using blocks to level, just adjust the bags

[@us1tahoe590]

Hey Chrome. Moose says Hey" to Crusie. Instead of the Ambo project. How about the RAMBO project. its going to be a beast!! 😂

[@JenniferNichols-z4c]

Love this name. I agree Rambo the Ambo!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️🚑

[@1nsertCleverNameHere]

Dropped just in time! Finished watching the live stream about a minute ago! 🙌

[@MR.Kat-zVideoChannel]

1:54 Project bug out a perfect name.

[@Der-El]

Idea. AMBO even now should have at least a temporary strong front bumper. I'd get an 8"x 8" 8 foot long square post, pressure treated, paint it black, and mount where permanent front bumper will be. It would look OK and provide some strong front protection. Cut the ends so on each side it's extended to outer edge of those huge tires. Also be something to stand on when messing under the hood. Best piece would be a center cut with heartwood for strongest.

[@gerardbommarito4668]

Are you Loran ok?

[@lynettecarner]

Amanda called in the big guns to do the work on her engine. It's nice to see Loren back at the shop.

[@Makeitbymandy]

I needed help because my “no problem amanda, leave it on the lift all winter” turned into “i need the lift tomorrow” 😂😂

[@kevinhughes9801]

Brill to see Loren back 🎉🎉 great your using mic too

[@TFrakesTanks]

Call it “Operation Beast Mode” after the green engine in it!!

[@kevinferguson2131]

Your 4x4 diesel ambo build. Nice home.

[@contrafax]

I am SOOOO HAPPY to see you working on the AMBO!!! I know why you haven't but it has still been killing me.

[@valeriestraw6966]

Dove Grey, awesome grey. I love that grey.

[@carolxavier4388]

Nice to c Lauren!😊

[@joanies9478]

Project birth of “THE BEAST”

[@Spudnik15]

Was thinking you have bad throttle position sensors on your peddle assembly, also one of the sensors is epoxied in and may have come loose.

[@benhoose]

Glad to see the beginning of the next part of the ambo 👍👍👍👍

[@jodiesebek2440]

Awesome to see Lauren in the shop today hope he hangs around in another video. It was really cool to hear that your starting on the Ambo , can't to follow along for the progress 😎✌️✌️ Smooches for Cruzie 💋 🐾 🦴

[@RaymondPeter]

If you go with grey, pick on that is easily found for touch ups. It will be cheaper and there are still some amazing shades with "regular" brands (GM, Ford, Dodge, Jeep, Toyota, etc)

[@RJS0131]

Where did the ambulance come from? As a retired paramedic, I can tell you it's quite a unique unit!

[@mikemcsorley5511]

I'm excited for the Rambo-lance . Do the exterior paint dark grey on top to below the driver's window the black and bright green graphics on the side

[@tracybeetem3824]

Yay!!!! Let's Go!

[@tgland02494]

Dullys are a great idea. You have 4x4 so that will help if you get into areas the rear end looses traction

[@steve-gl3cw]

Gun metal gray is nice

[@JenGrant71711]

Let the parties begin!!!!!! 😜😁 💖❤

[@timothycroteau5728]

👍🏻 to the BugOut Project🐶

[@bobrouse8634]

Granite Metallic Grey - the color of my old Pontiac G6

[@RoxRevanharte]

I’m here for the ambo build above all else. The other stuff awesome too.

[@vanlifecarjunkies858]

Is it OK in Canada to have your tires stick out from the body of the vehicle cause you’re in the states it’s definitely not

[@moparmarley]

No I'm not 100% sure but tires that stick out last the body has to have over tenders and flaps. Most laws are the same on both sides of the boarder.

[@annapasley592]

Great seeing Lauren

[@christineviens8567]

Nice project! 👍🏻
