As a father of a son with hearing loss, I admire you creating this RU-vid content. You are a great role model!

@blazeroranger 11 месяцев назад

Please don’t call us hearing loss or hearing impaired…. Hard of hearing OR Deaf…..

@seanwolf8056 11 месяцев назад

@blazeroranger my son has the loss of his hearing. Therefore, he has a hearing loss. He is 30 years old, and that is what he refers to. So, my comment about being the role model, and this is your takeaway? Have a nice day.

Didn't think there was much difference in the blues until it was resprayed, now it pops, good choice.

@SanDiego_VDubLife 11 месяцев назад

I thought the same. Much deeper blue. The other blue was too light

@institutokleos 10 месяцев назад

I will always have a special place in my heart for the VW Bus because my father used to own a VW T2 Camper edition. We used to have great road trips together and even when we weren't traveling, I would often get the keys and stay inside the bus studying, drawing or playing on my own (I am autistic). I remember once or twice my father gave me math lessons inside the bus because the house had 3 cats and 3 dogs who wouldn't let us concentrate. On my 41st birthday I bought a Playmobil T1 model that I exhibit with pride on my office. These videos bring great nostalgia and I hope you can build many good memories to cherish on board of your restored bus :-)

I thought you guys were nuts for not liking the first color.... you guys were right. New color is perfect and much better! Love the videos!

@johnshields1776 11 месяцев назад

Fantastic to see how well it’s coming on. Putting the engine in is a real milestone. Well done Mitch. Good to finally see Dom doing his job.

@stevebeck57 11 месяцев назад

Dom reminds me of my father in the body shop. He always had a vision of all the parts laid out to paint and it was like a symphony. Us 3 boys were professional taper offers. Love what you do and thanks for sharing.♥️👍🏼

@lsilva8431 11 месяцев назад

I'm so excited to see Kona getting ready. It will look great and for sure with a better performance with the bigger engine. The inside will be amazing with the colours you guys chosen. The result will be excellent because your attention to details as well to all your partners and the help from Robert and team. Cannot wait to see the final product.

I know you’ve been frustrated with Dom being on his own timeline, but the finish up paint work really shines. He’s done beautiful work and deserves to be recognized for it. Please tell him I said HI 👋🏻 Kona the Bus is coming along Mic! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁♥️

awe.. we will have more Kona videos after she is finished. dont worry!

@briandrum1 11 месяцев назад

Ok, so I'm colorblind and when you guys were so upset about the original color not being what you had hoped I thought you were overreacting a bit. Now that I see the new color (at least what my eyes see), I wholeheartedly agree that it needed to be done! Even a colorblind man knows when the paint is wrong 🙃

@SportyJason 11 месяцев назад

Personally ,I would have applied a smear of thread lock on all the engine fixings ( just in case ) ?👍👍

@rcnotes 11 месяцев назад

Those engines get taken apart a lot. Threadlock would be a PITA. The best thing is to put it together the way the Bentley manual says. Source: ME. I've done a few air-cooled flat fours.
