- This is part 14 of my Mini Pinzgauer M712 6x6 replica build. I'm starting with an old Polaris Big Boss 250cc 6x6. It seemed like the perfect machine to cut apart for my build because it was broken down, free, and had a lot of good parts to convert to a cab forward side x side project.

I know it wasn’t an option but think a 3 color (brown, black, green) camo like the old army trucks would look sweet on that. Otherwise I saw flat brown. Not the primer brown. Great video as usual!
I agree, that would be a great idea
I totally agree. Camo would make an interesting video and would make the Pinz pop. However, if camo isn't to your liking than put me in for olive drab.
U don't talk to much.great show
Not everyone can do a good camo job. It would be interesting to see.
Definitely this
Cool door latches - simple and effective. I have to remember your solution. Might end up using it on some project in the future. And there are indeed people who always complain about everything. Can't change'em and can't be bothered. I vote for the brown you have on it already.
Donn mate
Can't wait for your next video
Thanks for checking out my new mini Pinzgauer video Donn! I appreciate it 🙂👍
Haha yes the complainers, they are never happy with our hard work 😂
Take care Donn 🙂
do flat olive color !!!
@@Mikefestiva it’s to bad you didn’t have an eject button on your computer for the complainers. It’s just annoys the crap out of me that people take the time to complain…… when they could say …. Hey that’s really cool. Thanks for sharing. That gives me an idea or wow , I never thought of doing it that way. I don’t care what anyone builds. As long as they are doing something with their life that’s productive. And even if i didn’t like what they did. I would just keep my mouth shut because it would only be my opinion and my opinion only !!!! Just sit back and enjoy. It’s really not that hard. Thanks for asking about the colors. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. Only part of the class will agree anyway. But who cares. It’s your build and it’s awesome and I have enjoyed each video. And thanks for the reminder. Tammy and I are getting t shirts 👕 this time around. Have a good one Mike
@@richsharp1524 Thanks Rich! I really appreciate your comment 👍
Also thanks for always supporting my work by commenting and picking up some T shirts!
100% flat tan! It is looking so sick! Thanks for taking us on the journey!
Flat tan. 👍
A desert tan like what you see on the military trucks. E7DOA2 is the paint code. Love the videos, keep it up mate 👍
Thank you for watching 👍
I vote for flat tan. BTW, I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from watching your various projects. My Langmuir plasma table has arrived and I starting the assembly process this weekend. Watching your videos is one of the reasons why I decided to go with the Langmuir table. Keep up the good work and know that your hard work creating this content is watched and appreciated.
Thanks for checking out my new video! Congrats on the table! They are awesome to have in the shop, once you get the hang of it you can cut amazing quality parts, you will really like it 👍
I think a old school desert camo would look pretty awesome.
I vote green.
Btw. Be nice if the door had a second latch/ handle a little bit towards the front in the inside, so you don’t have to reach behind you every time you wanna get out.
I was going to suggest the same thing. Maybe just an extension so you have the "either or" option.
@@TimMcArdle yeah, that’s what I thought too. So he can reach in from the outside.
The subtle humor you add to your videos is greatly appreciated.
ha ha thank you 👍
Use all 3 colors for a camouflage paint job. You also need an arm rest for a more comfortable ride.
Can't wait to see the next segment in this series, Mike! Don't worry about your "nay" sayers, as I absolutely LOVE your formatting and pace with each video!
As far as a color for the Mini Pinz, I'd have to go with the TAN only because you see so many green ones already, but it would set off the whole build to be MilSpec Olive Green.
Whatever you choose, I'll be here for the ride! Thank you again for the great content!
Thanks Phillip 👍
I'd go with green, but tinted bedliner paint vs the usual. Durable and tough, and pretty much maintenance-free.
Agreed
Olive green - Mike, just keeps gettin’ better every episode.
Just blows me away that someone would ever suggest you talk too much. Thanks for taking the time to take us along. Joel….. 👍👍😎👍👍
Thank you Joel 👍
I say Tan, but I would coat the lower 6-8" with something like a bed-liner material to keep it from getting ruined. Plus that would give you a good reason for a two-tone Tan over Brown look.
two tone would look sweet and hide the dirt with the undercarrige painted brown
Q M
I agree with the bed liner material on the lower portion for some extra durability, and flat tan on the rest.
Another vote for two tone tan/black bed liner.
Mike you don’t talk to much. I absolutely love your videos. Keep up the good work.
So glad to see you back on this build!! It looks great! I have definitely been missing your build videos.
My Vote is Flat Tan, with black accents (bumpers grill ect.)
Raptor coat bedliner, you can get different color pigments and have whatever you want, example flat green, brown etc.
All of your projects are awesome but this is gotta be my favorite! I would spray it olive green or do it Cammo!!
I'm with M R. Do a custom Camo. It would be epic!
Yep, add black to the mix and pick a camo that would have been used by the Austrian military.
I like the talking, it’s informative. Can’t please them all. I hate how much viewers complain about everything!!!!!
Thank you!
Glad to to hear you taking time to be with the family too, that’s the most important thing! I also feel you on the uninsulated shop, that’s about all I’ve ever had to work with myself. Mike this build is looking phenomenal, it’s really great that you are taking the time to document such a build. Hope it keeps going well and you stay safe!!
Thanks George I really appreciate it man👍 Haha the cold shop can be a bit difficult to get motivated in the dead of winter 😂
Take care
Seeing you paint took me back to my younger days working on friends cars after school.
Me personally, I love OD Green and Desert tan. Otherwise I think a camo scheme would be really cool.
Also, I appreciate your videos and absolutely love the content. The Amazon links have helped me add random tools to my collection. Keep up the awesome work!!!
Right on thank you 😊
Flat TAN is my vote. Thanks for the update. Loved seeing the Key trucks in the snow. Good music. Always love the drum break. You defiantly do not talk too much. I think you talk just enough. I was noticing how quiet you were in this one, until you mentioned why. You do a great job explaining stuff. Your wording is clear and concise. II would rather hear you say stuff rather than the text on the screen. I am not complaining. I like all of your content. Thanks Mike. Try to always leave a comment to support your work. It is entertaining and informative.
Thank you so much for saying that! Thanks for supporting my channel 👍
Great video, Mike! Good to see the Pinzgauer back. I’m voting for olive green, though I think any of your three choices would look fine. Thanks for including another drum break. Keep up the commentary on your projects, it’s good to see your thought process. 👍
love the drum kit in the background! EFF THE COMPLAINERS!!! door latches came out really nice!! love the electromag thing works real nice!!! nice body work too!!! great vid thanks MIKE!!!
I vote flat tan . But it would look awesome a classic camo. Keep up the great work.
Mike, Olive Green for its color and you do an excellent job discussing your choices and what you are doing so keep it up, and thank you. These build series are very good. I'm a retired aircraft mechanic and fabricator and I am impressed with your skills. It's nice to watch and learn and see what other folks are up to. Keep em' comin!!!!
Thanks so much for saying that 👍
Such a wealth of information in this build series, you're killing it! Also we're partial to green haha
Right on! Thanks for checking out my new Pinz video guys 👍🙂 Green is good 😊
The oscillating tool with a sanding pad - you saved me so much work this weekend!!
I’m a fan of the green. Use the tan for the interior and the rims.
Mike, love your content and I appreciate that you don’t have a sponsor every 5 minutes. I’m ordering a couple of T Shirts for my son and I. Keep up the great work and it was great to see the drum break return. My vote on the paint color is tan.
Thank you Bobby I really appreciate that 👍
Love how this thing is coming along. Also excited to know more about the yes welder combo. I have been shopping for a new welder. Found a Lincoln someone was getting rid of that is sufficing for now but I'm still shopping!
Mike,
This is turning out really nice! I say it's your project do what you feel like doing. Flat green to match your dump truck. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.
Thanks Donald
Go with olive green! It matches the vehicle best and makes most sense to match the forest
Mike I'm hooked on your videos.. Thanks for everything you do. I rather listen to everything you say since I'm just beginning my journey on welding. You're amazing.
Thank you!!!
A great time hanging out with you while you work as always. I was coming into this expecting to vote for painting it green, but since the articulating dump truck already is I'm thinking tan would be cool for a change of pace.
Thanks for watching !!!
Love the builds and your videos. I like the brown you have on it now. I personally think the shout out to the not sponsors is better because you like their products so you feel the need to give your honest opinion. Keep up the great work.
My vote is flat black.... but with that not being an option, I would say flat tan. Keep up the good work👍
Agree, a tan or green shade of BLACK :-)
You beat me to it, that's what I was thinking
So happy to see a drum break again
I vote for olive green… it would look at home on this military style vehicle, plus it’s cool to match colors on your fleet!
Olive green and tan would also be the two most common original colours. The prototype in the Puch Museum is brown though, so I guess that would be appropriate for a one-off like this too.
Flat tan! Also, those people can piss off. I really appreciate you talking through things you are doing and also touching on your personal life a bit. You seem like a cool dude that I wouldn't mind hanging out with and getting some welding lessons from. Keep it up!
Thank you!!!
Great to see this thing back Mike also congratulations on 175k that’s awesome! Olive green for sure so it matches the fleet. You could possibly build a pass through on the front doors so you can operate the latch to open them from outside/ inside more easily?
As much as I want to say flat green, I think flat tan would look awesome!
Love watching these builds, I would go with the Flat Tan!
Thanks for watching Bruce
Dude I love the commentary!!! You have so much knowledge to share plus it makes it more fun to watch. Keep talking!
flat green would be my vote! love from Maine. you do amazing projects. thank you for taking the time to share them.
I vote green. And i think you don’t talk too much you explain the processes which helps people understand what you are doing. Keep it up you’re awesome!!
Thank you
Olive Green gets my vote. Thanks for your hard work, tips and insights.
I'm going to cast my vote for green. Keep up the great work Mike, love the videos
Thanks Don
Awesome video, no issues with the talking, it's nice to hear your thought processes and what you are up to. I like Flat Tan colour.
I actually love the drums, so it is great that you do add that into your videos.
Thanks George!!
I think green would look great, also I love hearing u talk in your vids!!! Just do what you enjoy I think you have a base of people who thoroughly enjoy whatever you enjoy. Also you should consider making a patreon !
Thanks so much for saying that Simon! Thanks for watching 👍
Hey Mike, I am liking the brown. It's something a little different. Thanks for bringing this build to us, enjoy your vids!
Thank you!
Tan please love the show keep up the good work. It helps me mentaly to see a person doing something positive and overcoming obsticals to achive a good outcome thank you
Brown. I really enjoy all your videos.👍 Thank you for sharing.🙏
Haven't been watching for a while. You have come a long way with this one, and it looks great. Truly like this build , it's not only going to be a good tool for you, but a little toy to. Real cool.
Thank you so much 👍
I'd go for using all 3 colors in a Mike Festiva camo pattern. Unique truck build needs a unique color scheme. Top job. 👍👍
I am quite surprised that you have no sponsor your videos are amazing and always keen to watch them.
If people complain about if you talk to much well it's your chanel not there's
Keep up yhe great videos mate
I'm voting for flat tan. It sucks that your shop is cold now, I miss watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!!
When I watched your first episode I thought you where Chris Elliott. Then I realized he's an actor, no way he would have all these skills. Good work!! Love to see your projects.
Great vid Mike! I dont know why people keep complaining about you talking, they should just keep scrolling or listen and learn something!! I have learned alot from watching and listening 🍻. Build looks great and my vote is for flat tan. Cant wait for the next one!
Thanks Joe
I'm liking the CAMO idea a lot of y'all are talkin' about. If not, then the TAN. Thanks for the awesome build videos! Keep em comin!
Thanks Ace thumbs up
The flat tan in the interior looks great , id paint the rest of it the same colour.
I like the brown, it fits the utilitarian nature of the vehicle.
Go with the brown! Love what you're doing Mike, keeping them awesome videos coming.
Ohh man, you did such a great job on that rig. Thank you for sharing with us. I like the colour it is, it reminds me of an old VW colour. Like a VW Thing. 🇨🇦✌️
I like the old school camo idea. I vote green if camo is a no go. Great video, I like when you talk about the product you are using.
I like Nathan's idea of the old military look black brown and green
Oh Hell Yea!! Love this truck build, I vote the flat Tan. Also, consider truck bed liner [spray on, roll on] for the inside of the bed area, also works good on the floor boards where your feet scuffle up the finish, AND inside the wheel wells to protect the sheet metal that is exposed to the crap the tires kick up. Truck bed liner works well for making the vehicle a little more water proof, and also has an effect on sound deadening too! Show us what product you choose and how to apply it. This vehicle has showed us all kinds of great ideas, truly an inspirational build! And don't sweat the fact that anyone complained about your production, any of us looking to learn something from your build is more than happy to hear and what it is you are thinking. Keep going, don't stop what your doing, its all great work!
Thank you so much for saying that it means a lot! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel 👍
Olive drab raptor liner would look amazing on this
Olive Drab. That is the color for sure. Tan is nice also, but a flat olive drab is the best choice for color IMHO.
I’m guessing I am way too late, but I tried. LOL.
Thanks for continuing this build. I really enjoy it.
I like the flat green. I really enjoy your videos! Keep em coming.
The simple primer brown would be great look and easy to repair but it's so soft it'll be stripped from end to end by rubbing through limbs so I have to go with olive green. Thanks for sharing another great build with us.
Thanks John
Mike that was awesome! The "Genesis" AC motor control with Phil Colins' face plugged in, i like what ya did there!
Thanks Dave!
I think you are only the second person that noticed that one 😂 I kind of enjoy putting little hidden things like that in my videos 👍
I think the best suiting colour might be oliv green.
Looks authentic!👋
I think Tan would look good. The build is looking great. It has come a long way. 👍
I vote flat tan.
Ignore the haters, you don’t talk too much and your music is awesome! Cool groove in the drum break. I also liked the Genesis Easter egg.
I love this build and look forward to the next update.
Thank you Michael 👍
Coming on great! Looking forward to it appearing on a hoodie!
1st choice Olive Green. 2nd dessert Tan. Looks great 👍
Another great video Mike …and you don’t talk to much, you talk when it’s needed to make the video excellent! Don’t spend any time worrying about the negative comments! I have to go with OD Green (spent 8 hrs in the Army - lol), but I think some tan accents might fit in well! Keep up the great work!
I really appreciate your comment! Thank you and thanks for supporting my channel!!
Flat Tan Man! I'm loving this build, keep it up!
Olive Green is my vote.. Good to see your back on to the build.
I agree with another, camo would be very cool looking with the style of the truck.
Flat green. I'm a big fan of all of your project keep up the good work!
Thanks William!!
The Brown Looks Good on your Pinzgauer👍👌
I'm going to say flat tan for sure. And thank for the video it was amazing as usual.
I agree with the camo pattern. This thing is awesome!
Im really glad that you uploaded a new video! But it also good to hear that you are living the life outside TH-cam with your son! 👍
I wote for flat tan with black bed and details!
But if it would be mine i would have painted it red, reminds me of a small unimog rescue wehicle!
Thanks for uploading, and talk more! 👍
Right on thanks Marcus 👍
Has to be olive green it's beginning to become your channel colour. Keep up the great content I really enjoy your type of work
I think tan color. Can’t wait to see this thing in action 👍
you sir are definitely a skilled individual. the tan sounds good to me but regardless you cant go wrong with the color.
I love your videos and your builds and I in joy what you have to say. I personally like the tan color it looks nice. Thanks for fun and great content.
Appreciate your comment and thanks for commenting 👍
Its looking Good. I like the lighter Brown like inside the cab. By the looks of it at the end of Your video the little Suzuki is a Tank in the snow..Great job on it so far and Video as always...Thank You for sharing...
Thanks for watching Thomas!
Green. It is looking great Mike!
I've loved this build series, and I appreciate you putting the effort in to make enjoyable content for the community. I personally like the flat brown on it currently, but olive green would also look good.
Thank you
I like the tan you went with on the interior 👍
Great vid Mike! I love the drum breaks.
The rustoleum brown is a favorite color of mine.
Thanks for being one of the most true people on TH-cam.
Please keep making your kind of content!
Logan thank you so much 👍
I think a flat Green would be great! Always enjoy watching your video's Mike!
Thank you Loren!
Flat green gets my vote, but brown or tan are also good, Mike you don't talk too much and I really appreciate your indedendance and unbiased opinions.
appreciate it Bill
My 5 yo son has been watching this build with me (and your other videos). He votes for GREEN! Great job on your builds. I've been itching to get a mini truck the past few years. After introducing our son to your videos, I think the mini truck projects would be a great way to introduce him to auto, metal and general fab work. Thank you!
Thank you to you and your son for watching and supporting my channel!!
Flat Tan for sure! Love the project.
