Lori is such a gentle soul. Don should be reminded how to speak to a lady but, hopefully, the love and support from so many others helps you and her overcome that. This project is looking so good.

@BeyondIntention 6 месяцев назад

Wish Eddie was painting Kona! Watching him was like watching a dance! Smoooooooth and steady. Dom felt right away like he was making excuses and taking shortcuts.

@MicBergsma 5 месяцев назад

Same!

@barbsfpv3066 6 месяцев назад

I’ve worked with guys like Dom, and their misery is entirely of their own making. You can always tell the quality of a craftsman by how they take care of themselves, and it’s obvious he doesn’t. I wouldn’t hire him to mow my lawn, much less spray paint on a ground-up restoration of a VW bus. The bus is looking great. It’s sad that Dom put such a stain on an otherwise awesome experience you’ve shared with us so far. Thank you!

@paul4124 6 месяцев назад

Right from the first time that Dom came on the scene, l was not a fan of the guy. Didn’t know why at the time, but as time has gone on he has shown on many occasions how unprofessional he is. And to be treating anyone, let alone a lady such as Lori, as he did is not the action of a man, but a thoroughly nasty piece of work. Bless you both for being bigger than he is, and it was great to see Lori smiling again toward the end of the video. Blessings from Aus 🇦🇺

@arizonarider6998 6 месяцев назад

I will agree with you on Dom . Robert should probably cut ties with that guy . He would save a fortune on toilet paper at the shop and could probably replace him with a painter that gets it right on the first go round . He shouldn’t have talked to Lori like that I’m just glad he didn’t eat her . 😡

@brentbenson6248 6 месяцев назад

@hayzee4429 6 месяцев назад

At 4.01 in the video it was good to see Lori with a smile. I have never shouted at a lady in my 40 years at work. I work a lot of Night Shifts and tempers can become frayed , the worst thing is not sorting out something at work at the end of a shift. Though if one of my colleagues was disrespectful to any of the girls at work l don't think l could tolerate that. So you take that lovely wee lassie out for a nice meal and let her know how much you love and appreciate her. ❤

@iddybiddyladybugleeza262 6 месяцев назад

Hey Dom, if anyone you should be upset with is yourself! If you’re that great of a painter you would’ve did the job right the first time. Take a moment and put yourself in their shoes Dom, you wouldn’t have been happy either if you received a finished product like that and then you couldn’t get it right the second time?! They are very right in addressing this issue with you. Redirect your anger towards yourself and be a respectful man and apologize to them both.

@Syl20 6 месяцев назад

It is unacceptable to attack Lori to express he's frustration. I hope he will apologize to her, that would be the least he can do. Well done to both of you for keeping your cool!

@TheDasbull 6 месяцев назад

@mikeguthrie1626 6 месяцев назад

Takes me back to 1969 when I bought my '59 European model with a cab area. A mechanic I used who worked in the VW factory in Germany, said that bus was configured to be used as a taxi. It had a front bench seat with the spare behind it and sliding window that opened to the rear seating area. Did some fixing up then sold it when I decided to get a VW Bug for my trips to college. Great memories. Thanks for taking me on your meticulous restoration trip....living vicariously and remembering the days of peace, love and happiness of the 60's and 70's.

@markieuk889 6 месяцев назад

I feel for Lori…..Dom must apologise to her. You both right as your the paying customer. Customer always right. Hope Robert will chat with Dom about this situation. Anyway your Kona looks awesome tho. Can’t wait for the another episode. I am off Fishing at 6.00am. Happy New Year for Tomorrow….🎉🎉🎉

@mtbikesam68 6 месяцев назад

I've only ever sprayed paint out of rattle cans, so with all due respect, I pegged Mr. Dom as a half asser when you first got him working on Kona. Nothing but excuses and delays since. I feel for you, it's too bad Eddie couldn't have painted it.

@BrianSmart1959 6 месяцев назад

So sorry that you and Lori were put into the situation to have to deal with someone like Dom. He's a bully and a know-it-all that can never admit any faults. If he was doing the job for himself, he would get it "good enough" and call it perfect. He's not used to dealing with a perfectionist. You know how you want it to be and you're not willing to compromise, nor should you when you're paying for it to be done properly. Hopefully you are done dealing with him.

@troys_collectibles9811 6 месяцев назад

Another great episode Mitch. 👍 Love all the assembly work and brake problem fixing. So sorry Dom mistreated your wife. I hope he apologized. Looking again to the next one. I too have started my bus and will do the video uploads. I won't copy your color - mine will be a much darker blue. 😅 Keep the great videos coming. 👍

Lori is such a wonderful woman, wife and business partner. Living in a van for month after month in all sorts of weather conditions and working along side you is a testament to her love and affection for you. What a team. I’m sorry to hear of Dom’s rant. Targeting Lori is just wrong on so many levels. I found his behavior, demeanor and commitment throughout the paint job to be the polar opposite of yours. It’s so personal to you and Lori, but just a part-time gig for him. You could see the conflict building for a while. As the project is concluding at the shop, I’m certain everyone at the shop is ready for it to conclude as much as you want to be done. I have such respect for you and Lori, the work ethic the two of you have and mostly what a great relationship you both have. You guys have something special. Love your videos.

@davidshepherd397 5 месяцев назад

Its a tough spot Mitch, one wants to protect ones partner and yet cannot. I truly understand that place, and I'm so sorry for both you and Dom is just clearly a lazy individual, who doesn't like being called out when he fails to preform. You both are patient and keep your sense of humor so two thumbs way way up to you and Lori, love the bus, and the video. I don't favor the color, but it does look great. Good luck with the rest of the build.

@ncdave4 6 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear about your trouble with Dom and Lori. At the least Dom needs to apologize to her face to face, and be sincere about it. Anyone can loose their cool in moments of stress. The honorable man owns up to it and rectifies it as soon as possible. Robert needs to also have a chat with him regarding his poor performance, paint-wise, and temper-wise. Glad you guys are moving on.

Dom sucks. He has no work ethic, how many times did he blow you off for days or weeks. Sad Robert didn't manage him a bit better, but treating Lori like that is unacceptable. He is a lazy painter. The bus is looking amazing, your work is perfect. So happy for you.

MICK HERE, when you first introduced us to Dom I said to myself OH NO bad idea! A painter has to be sort of fit and flexible. Also he is lazy and cuts corners because he believes he is so good. He initially got pissed with all your yellow stickers I bet then he realized he is painting 3 times now and that all will see this in the videos that he has been bragging to his buddies about. He is a fool if he believes that you have no right to complain or even ask questions. Time for Shrek to go and disappear! 😂😂😂

I want to tell something to Lori. Lori, you didn't fault or blame. You are a wonderful, hard-working, intelligent woman and amazing person loyal to your husband. Dom is idiotic and wrongful to yell at you. Dom should take responsibility for checking the painting tools to clean before starting your bus to paint and also examine the color before asking you and your husband to see check it. Don't let it, Dom, get you. You got many support and a fans with your husband. I'm sure many a fans have wished you and your husband a happily family together with a beauty bus in Hawaii.

Hi kidda don't let Dom see 23.40 cos Lori is doing a better job than him, in my opinion he has never been any good, he could not be bothered to turn up when you first started doing paint. I do not like people who keep telling you how good they are and what they can do they always let you down. Robert would do well to not use him as people will see this channel and think not go there in case they use Dom and my job will be as bad. You and Lori are fantastic together. love the channel. you are doing a great job on the bus, spect your going to put in a cotton wool lined box when its done !!! whatever you do don't damage the paintwork.

Robert needs to think very hard about whether he should keep Dom on or replace him. That kind of behavior reflects badly on the shop as a whole.

Also, when you do the front end alignment, you need to start by making sure one wheel points exactly forward, by pulling a string to the rear wheels. Then use that as reference to set the other front wheel to specks. Usually,1/8” tow in drives pretty good.

Sorry to be the bad news barer, but with all due respect and I have a lot of respect for the effort you put into restoring this vehicle, if you want it to last you work in a completely different way. You do not use BNDO at all especially not on the top and around the engine bay. BONDO is susceptive to temperature and it is inflexible material, especially when it ages. For proper result you use hammers, dollies and files. Where the body is double skinned best to fill it with tin. True this is much more work but it will last almost definitely. With the first ding the BONDO will most likely peel off. Than rust starts. Another point is to complete all drilling, fitting etc. prior to painting. It you drill afterwards you need to take your time to repair the pain damage before you proceed with assembly. This is particularllay important in places where you use grommets etc. Before painting you need to use materials like seam sealers etc. apply anti chip in all areas prone to stone chipping etc. After painting you need to thoroughly rust proof the vehicle, using different materials in different parts of the vehicle such as Inner Cavity Wax etc. Bear in mind a lot of items you sprayed, especially with can spry, like locks, hinges etc. should have been sand blasted and electro coated - galvanizing, nickel plating etc. All the above calls for a lot of work, but, from experience, in the long run it pays as it brings the vehicle to manufacturer’s standards and above.

Another great video guys. Re the upset, when people get pressured they can fly off the handle and it is upsetting. The best thing is not to dwell on it and move on.

This episode gave me a lot of anxiety. I lost my brother to cancer on March 19th 2022, and I watched this video thinking about what I experienced during that painful time. He passed away 4 weeks after having his first symptom, and the last 5 days of his life, was spent in a deep coma from brain dead. It wripped my life apart. Thanks for getting me through those hard times with these videos. It really helped me escape a traumatic time for a short while.
