Hey Mitch and Lori, I, and I am sure many more people are worried about you folks and hope you are safe over there on Maui. I can't imagine the nightmare of what is happening with those fires. Please let us know that you are safe. Mahalo

Wow! Kona is looking awesome!! I can’t wait to see how she looks after paint. I think you made the right choice with the wiring loom & the retro radio is such a cool idea with all the options. Glad you guys are safe & well, The people in Maui are in our thoughts & prayers from the UK 🙏🏻❤

@SkaterStimm Год назад

I totally agree on the new wiring harness. It is one thing to restore the existing wiring and keep it original, but if you are going through the hassle of rewiring the entire bus, it is no longer original so just upgrade everything.

@paulnather5725 Год назад

PAINT!!! I love it. Thank you for all of the recorded detail. It gives me hope to just keep going on every project

Hey, wiring is my cup of tea. It does take a lot of planning and patience to achieve a well done installation. Im sure you are in the best hands and ive seen it all throughout your Kona journey.

@OriYentl333 Год назад

Hey Mitch - thanks for your honest content I think many folks restoring cars only show the finished product and fun side not all the frustration along the way, each upload is the highlight of my RU-vid viewing. Thanks also to Jerry for the wiring diagram - super useful, definitely gonna be referencing that when we do the harness on our bus. Keep well and regards to Lori & Kona.

So glad that you guys are safe and ok. Terrible tragedy on Maui, a place that is known worldwide for beauty and joy. Thanks for posting this video. The Aircooledautoelec wiring is definitely the way to go. After all the beautiful work you and the Skinner Crew have done, going first class on the wiring is a no brainer.

Dom is what is gives paint shops a bad name. You must use a spectrophotometer in this day and age. Everyone sees' color different, woman see it better than men. Stay safe in Maui!

@michaelganshirt8795 Год назад

Applause! That is one bold color! It's going to look amazing with the white. It reminds me of color schemes I've seen on 1950s chevrolets.

@stevelozano9523 Год назад

Mitch and Lori, I'm glad you stuck to your guns to make sure the paint match was what you chose and not what Dom said "if you wanna keep dicking around with the color". Because in the end of the day, it's your bus, your decision, your hard earned $$ you both are putting into it and what you say goes, not a painter. You have to live with that color you spent on, not him, in a respectful way. Stay safe in Maui you two. Much love. 🤙

@FrankWhite842 Год назад

I agree 💯! I'm just saying I could sense his uncertainty. Anyway good job Mitch and Laury you guys built a great bus

@PortalFPV Год назад

I know these delays are defeating. But from what you've shown us, it looks more like a blessing in disguise. There has been a lot of small mods and details to get figured out before paint happens and this extra time has given you time to remedy things 😊

@terryguinnsmusicinstrument1159 Год назад

Hey there Mitch and Lori. Love the channel. I noticed that Kona emblem on that red car and thought you should buy a few of those Kona emblem’s for the inside and outside of your bus. Great work my friend. The end is near and I’m sure you are ready for the end by now. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Hi Mike, Lori, & our beloved, beautiful, bodacious Lady Kona🥰🥰🥰!! You guys are amazing, sweet, caring, compassionate, noble, & cool! I can’t thank you & Lori both for rescuing Lady Kona & giving her new life!! You guys are truly blessed & heroic!! I’m nerding out here watching the progress, seeing Kona coming along nicely. I’m hoping you’re all safe & okay. Once Kona is all done, I’d like to come on up from Costa Mesa & visit the shop. While I tell you all to “Hey!! Look at that!! What is it??”, as I point to another part of the shop; as you guys look ok over, I’d like to secretly give Kona a huge secret expansive hug.

I can only imagine how nerve wracking watching the paint going on can be. Have a friend whose jeep was painted green. It took seven coats to get to the final shade. Very interesting to see the layering/shading process painters have to go through to get the final color for the eye test.

Hey Mitch, You showed Hyundai's version of your van, he he... But what if you took one of the OG Volkswagen logos in it's many styles to craft a KONA logo ? There are several font styles the letters come in from script to block lettering, and getting it made in a 3D printer shouldn't be too hard. There are new chrome paints that may work, vs having it plated over a paint on metal base that chrome can electro-deposit onto if you want to match an original VW logo. Hope you are all well !
