Why can't some of you just watch and not give these guys a hard time, Doug you just do what is right for you and your family. I'm here to support you All.
I agree to a point, but I'm sure they appreciate suggestions. Sometimes people come up with new ideas that hadn't been thought of. Suggestions are good, but no one should give them a hard time about it.
@@jjbud3124 have you met the world lately lol! I wish there was more common sense too but social media brings out the bad in a lot of people. Mostly because they feel the need to judge.
I watched each project you started, and thought (every time) that it's too much, too far gone, but you finished them. Not just finished them well, but finished them perfectly. I don't think like that now. You have proven your worth, so I don't question your projects any more. If the van ends up being a write off, we will know that you tried your hardest. If it ends up being a perfect van for you all, then we will not be surprised, and (once again) be amazed at your skills. Either way, we'll keep watching.
Confidence in your ability? I KNOW you two can do anything! I have followed you for years and am constantly amazed by your talent. Both of you are amazing. As the old saying goes 'you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear'. Yes I was born and raised in the south. I can't wait to see you turn that bus into a thing of beauty. I love your family and love watching your channels. Keep up the excellent work.❤
Your other bus was a good deal. You’ve gotten really good deals in the past. I’m enjoying your journey. If you decide to scrap it, no big deal. It is all about learning. Regardless of your decision, I’m enjoying the channel. Thanks so much!
I am happy to hear the engine is good. Why don't you take all of the back off and really build an open truck to tow materials. Sort of like a flatbed. I know you wanted another bus to ride in, but pivot like you guys always do, and it will work out. One of the main reasons why this channel is amazing is because the two of you never let anything mentally steal your happiness. ❤😊
It’s unfortunate about the bus. Your a brilliant man Doug and I have watched you turn garbage into treasure. I 100% agree with all you’ve said and I know the bud is going to be awesome after you put your elbow grease into it !! I’m on team Doug !!
Doug you remind me of my younger son; he use to take things apart and see what is going on and he grew up to be a very creative young man. You are very creative and talented; not just you but all your family 😊 Blessings in Jesus Mighty Name
I think your plan sounds solid, Doug. We’ve become such a disposable population! If it isn’t perfect, just throw it away and get a new one. I love your patient, methodical approach - and the way that you break everything down step by step with explanations of why you’ve done things a certain way. I am learning so much from your channel and I appreciate you!
I have faith in you guys, I haven’t yet known of you guys giving up on anything yet, do what y’all want to do with your projects and I still be here watching, I love watching, we get to learn how to do projects, we get to laugh with you and Evie, we get to see when the kids find bug and animals. I say you guys keep doing you. ❤
Doug, it’s your bus. Your time, your money. You do what makes you happy. When it comes to it, it’s your business. Not those that seem to know everything.
Doug you are right why just throw away money. Fix it as you have time. You will make it the best it could be in the end. Sorry for all the negative comments. Some people just are negative. Stay positive. You got this. The weather it so hot right now. Have a blessed day! 🙏🙏💕🌴
Doug, you and Eevee are such hardworking individuals. If you have decided to go forward with this bus, then I know you will do your best. As always be well, be blessed ❤
Good job Doug! It sounds like the previous fleet owner did not perform any maintenance at all on the engine or on the bus in general. I know that from all your projects you and your family have taken on that you are tenacious and don’t give up easily. I’m a loyal fan and support you all the way on this new bus project with all its ups and downs.
Doug, I’m so proud of you all!! I know finding all that rust was disheartening for you cause it was for me when I was watching it! You both have such strong characters to not give up. So excited to continue to see how great it will turn out! I’m cheering for you both!!🎉
Hello Doug, I feel your pain. I had a Chevy truck with the 6.0 LS that I replaced the timing chain on. I WORKED MY BUTT OFF tearing it down. I also replaced the oil pump and pick up tube. LS gasket sets are EXPENSIVE ! I applaud the work you did. You now know WHAT YOU HAVE to work with, and what parts you can trust. As for the back of the bus - just take it a piece at a time. Now if all those critics want to come HELP you, you would be in GREAT SHAPE ! LOL.
My thoughts would be to sandblast it. That would get all the rust off the metal and give you a clean surface to start with. Good luck and can't wait to see what you do with it. I love you guys
Hi, so sorry the bus is a mess, but now the engine is good, I think your idea to make it as good as possible, will work. You have the knowledge to do it! So keep going and keep us updated on the progress! ❤
You sound very down about this bus. I've been watching for years and have seen your work and how you push through even the toughest projects. Projects that you've stated you have no, or little, experience with. It's always turned out great. I don't think you guys realize how inspiring you are by showing your determination and creativity during these difficult projects. Thank you for that. 😃👍
Doug, do what’s best for your family. If you feel that you can salvage the bus, go for it!! I’m actually glad that you still want to work on it and salvage it. I can’t wait to see the finished product. I know it’s a ways down the road, and you could still change your mind, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll still be here watching your videos!! ❤❤❤ blessings to your family!!
We are glad that they are going to preserve it and work on remodeling it. You can travel and have a family vacation. Don't worry about the negative comments. My wife and I are happy to see how they work, they are a blessing and example. Cheer up, continue with your good work, my wife sends hugs to Aby and from me a hug to you, continue, you are a family guided by God. I encourage your entire family 🎉
You can do videos of grinding the rust and spraying it. We would love seeing that! Watching how you make something cruddy look good again is one of my favorite kind of videos.
We'll try to record the process but we just may not share it very soon depending on how long it takes. It's a tough time of year to get this work done.
1st of all, I can’t see why anyone would question your judgement. You are living and breathing this train wreck. Secondly, hats off to you! You are a Jack of all trades. I wish I had your knowledge.
You know, none of us were put on this planet to go scurrying around worrying about what everyone else thinks. You do you. It's your money, your vehicle, your life, your decision, period. You've always worked hard and done a good job, so at the end of the day, things turn out well and we get some interesting videos to watch. It's a shame so much gets trashed without a second thought these days. I'm glad it's worth repairing and look forward to seeing how it turns out.
That is what I was going to suggest, grind the rust off and spray paint it to stop the rust. I know what you mean about investing too much already in it to let it just go. Yep so if the engine is good then yes it is salvageable! I had a friend who owned a old rust bucket van, no way to salvage it to the point of it running again., but she did a cool thing and turned the old square van into a green house, it sounds odd but that is what she did. So I am glad you can fix it even if we don't get to see it. :) Bless you in all you do! Where there is a will, there is a way, my mom always said. :)
Hi Doug. I'm sorry the people took advantage of you. It is so frustrating that people get away with this type of scamming people. Someone in the comments said -you should expose who did this to you and I agree. They get away with this because people don't know about them. I think their info should be put out there so others can be aware. That said, I get it that you want to salvage it since you spent the money -so it won't be a total loss. I will be watching because I learn a lot from all that you do. I appreciate your transparency in this situation and all that you share. It will help others to know how they should probably try as best as possible to really examine before making a purchase -thank you for the insight. Take care.
Don’t listen to the Harry Haters! You are doing a great job! If in time you decide to get another bus, go look at it in the rain and for sure look under it! Many blessings to you and your wife, I really enjoy the videos!
Not all projects are as easy as we thought they would be. Sometimes, things like that happen. Glad the motor isn't bad. If you run it for a while, you may want to think about changing the oil and filter again in case it washed any more of that sludge out. I have seen other folks do the same when they find a gunky engine like that. I am looking forward to seeing where you go with this. This is your channel, just happy to see how others do things and make decisions. Who knows, it could really be something once it is done.
It’s bad news when a seller misrepresents the condition of a vehicle that is as bad as you described. Hope you are able to make a positive move with what you have.
It probably also has heavy sludge under the valve covers and the intake manifold. If not removed, it will probably start coming loose and clog the oil pump screen again. I had this happen to me once after purchasing a used car. I ended up removing probably a gallon of sludge. It is also good to verify the oil pressure using a mechanical gauge.
Might be worth looking into fitting a travel camper body onto the chassis, if you have the expertise to do something like that. Otherwise do whatever is best for you and the family and don't worry about the naysayers 😊
Smart move, making sure the lemon isn't totally rotten. I look forward to seeing you take this lemon and making lemon aide out of it. It may take a while, but that's o.k., it will be an interesting "change of pace" when you do post something about it. 👍
It's obvious from your examination and description of the rust damage it wasn't in a flood. Don't listen to those who only wish to criticize and stir up trouble. Keep up the good work.
Glad the engine is good and that is the heart of the bus. That being said, knowing you and Evee and how you do things you will more than likely make it into a thing of beauty and a very useful vehicle. I was thinking you could use the back of it for a bit of a mobile tool shop for hauling etc but I think you do that with the other bus somewhat. You two are amazing so I think you will surprise us all and it will end up being a masterpiece! Love watching you guys work on anything. You both have such patience and you stick to what you start, no matter what! Best of luck and I will be watching both channels as I have for years! 🙂
I agree with your idea. My husband is very handy & once he's into a project he wants to see it through. I would guess that the bus will be very nice when your finished.
I actually drove one of these buses for a living for many years and I can tell you they all leaked terrible!! I complained about it my passengers complained about it.. but every bus I was assigned had leaks all around. Love your channel and looking forward to seeing the finished mobile home 😊 but I wanted you to know I’m a retired bus driver now and these vehicles were nothing but problems.
It is sad that the guy didn't come clean about the leaks. We know you will figure it out, maybe you can sell the lift or any good parts that you don't need.
I always said that if you are going to sale a used vehículo be honest and said what it's wrong with it...but that guy said it was in excelente condition..
I hope you can throw some heavy plastic sheeting or a new large heavy duty tarp to keep the bus dry. I'm looking forward to watching your progress on reworking this bus. Take your time and do what you and Eevee want for your future, for your family. Take care. Patricia
I know you all cannot only fix it, but it will be something that you make very unique and nice!!! You have my support!!! I haven’t seen anything that has knocked you all day en, you are all very strong and determined!!! I really enjoy your channel and have for years!!!
I have been watching you guys for years and I know when your heart is into it you can do almost anything, I believe you will fix the bus, I have no doubts and it was smart to be sure the engine was good, don’t forget the transmission, if the oil smells and looks bad and dirty address that. And we too have been misled by “used car salesmen” so we feel for you there. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure, my wife and I have watched your family grow and love your channel:)
I have always admired Doug's logical thinking and his ability to tackle problems I would walk away from. I'm looking forward to seeing you persevere in getting that bus back on the road. Good Luck turning that sow's ear into a silk purse, if anybody can do it you can. Phil
Im just shocked to hear you say there is something you can't do! You will totally transform this van! I can't wait to see your progress! I know you will fix it up and it will be amazing!
You can do it Doug. Your the only guy I know that can, make a mountain outta a mole hill! I have faith in you and I know Ashlee does. She's right there with ya. God Bless, Love, Granny
Thanks for the update. I look forward to your videos. I know you and Eevee do your best and you have the knowledge to do so. Don't pay attention to what people say you know what you are doing and you do it well. Take care. I look forward to your next video.
This is such a great lesson for your kids to observe. How many of you have adult children who bought a ‘lemon’? Doug must have a father who was a mechanic, carpenter, plumber, electrician and TH-camr! By taking it all apart, you dug deep for all the facts. Then decisions are easy.
I would get a good rust converter from somewhere like Eastwood and brush that on all the rust after wire wheeled off....THEN use the rust type of paint
I never comment bad or give you guys a hard time on things y’all’s decision it’s for y’all to make you will work it out one way the other and I just enjoy watching you guys
Doug whoever sold you that bus aught to be ashamed of themselves!!! It’s hard to believe there are people like that in the world, but unfortunately there is. I hope they are able to sleep well at night knowing what they did to you. What ever you decide to do I know all of us that love and care for you and your family will be right there with you. I’m sure we’ve all bought things that aren’t what we expected they were. You do what is good for your family and we’ll be right beside you all the way. Until next time. ❤❤❤❤😅
At the very beginning, I thought you were in an Ice Cave. All the blue tarps. When I'd hike up to the ice caves at Paradise...going inside was beautiful blues everywhere. Of course, that was 55 years ago, and they have since closed.

Why can't some of you just watch and not give these guys a hard time, Doug you just do what is right for you and your family. I'm here to support you All.
I agree wholeheartedly!! Leave them alone and let them do things their way.
Exactly! Well said!,
Cause comments are good for the channel - good and bad. The algorithm puts the channel out to a wider audience.
I agree to a point, but I'm sure they appreciate suggestions. Sometimes people come up with new ideas that hadn't been thought of. Suggestions are good, but no one should give them a hard time about it.
@@jjbud3124 have you met the world lately lol! I wish there was more common sense too but social media brings out the bad in a lot of people. Mostly because they feel the need to judge.
If anyone can refurbish this bus, it's you! I have faith that you will make it into useable bus for your family!
Doug
I think you have the right idea.
It's your bus. You see a lot more from your side of the camera than we do.
I watched each project you started, and thought (every time) that it's too much, too far gone, but you finished them. Not just finished them well, but finished them perfectly. I don't think like that now. You have proven your worth, so I don't question your projects any more. If the van ends up being a write off, we will know that you tried your hardest.

I'll stand with your decision. I would never question any of your decisions. If anyone could make that bus good again it would be you.
I love how honest you are. If anybody can restore this bus it's you.

The way the cab is cut open, it would be hard to convert it into a flatbed unless you could do a lot of welding and fabrication.
@@livingdiyfferent ok that makes sense. I know you guys are going to do something amazing with it. 🥰

Doug, you and Eevee are such hardworking individuals. If you have decided to go forward with this bus, then I know you will do your best.
As always be well, be blessed ❤
Lesson learned. Every test drive should include a run through the local car wash to check for water leaks. Glad to hear the engine is good.
I would have never thought of doing that but I think it’s a great idea, for all vehicles!
@@BobbieJeanMgreat idea
Good job Doug! It sounds like the previous fleet owner did not perform any maintenance at all on the engine or on the bus in general.

Hello Doug, I feel your pain. I had a Chevy truck with the 6.0 LS that I replaced the timing chain on. I WORKED MY BUTT OFF tearing it down. I also replaced the oil pump and pick up tube. LS gasket sets are EXPENSIVE ! I applaud the work you did. You now know WHAT YOU HAVE to work with, and what parts you can trust. As for the back of the bus - just take it a piece at a time.
Now if all those critics want to come HELP you, you would be in GREAT SHAPE ! LOL.
Doug be proud of yourself. I enjoy your videos. Your a very smart man. Keep moving on.
Thanks for sharing your experience
The plus I see is that once you've fixed it - it will be perfect!! And you will know the vehicle inside out - no more nasty surprises. Good luck.
If anyone can do it, you 2 can. I love watch both of your channels no matter what the subject, God bless stay safe n well 🙏 😊
My thoughts would be to sandblast it. That would get all the rust off the metal and give you a clean surface to start with. Good luck and can't wait to see what you do with it. I love you guys

One step at a time huh Doug.👍 You'll figure it all out guys, you always do. Good luck.😊

I think you should finish it make it cool like I know you can do. Go for it Doug and Eevee.
Yay that you got the engine good! I think it’s a good project and it could be something that you can have for a long time.
❤So pleased for you that the engine is good👍🏻❤️
Wow! I feel for you both. People outright deceiving someone for gain. It's unfortunate to say the least. You shall overcome!
Also not all people can mentally visualize an outcome, such as the work you did on your home, great creative minds you both have.
It's obvious from your examination and description of the rust damage it wasn't in a flood. Don't listen to those who only wish to criticize and stir up trouble. Keep up the good work.
Keep us updated with the bus . I know it’s a lot of work but I enjoy your problem solving and good diligence on the bus 🚌 good luck 👍 😊

I will continue to watch whatever you work on! You are so talented!
It is sad that the guy didn't come clean about the leaks. We know you will figure it out, maybe you can sell the lift or any good parts that you don't need.

I always said that if you are going to sale a used vehículo be honest and said what it's wrong with it...but that guy said it was in excelente condition..
I hope you can throw some heavy plastic sheeting or a new large heavy duty tarp to keep the bus dry. I'm looking forward to watching your progress on reworking this bus. Take your time and do what you and Eevee want for your future, for your family. Take care. Patricia
Love watching you redo things , whatever it may be.
I know you all cannot only fix it, but it will be something that you make very unique and nice!!! You have my support!!! I haven’t seen anything that has knocked you all day en, you are all very strong and determined!!! I really enjoy your channel and have for years!!!
Should say down not day en🤔🤪
I have been watching you guys for years and I know when your heart is into it you can do almost anything, I believe you will fix the bus, I have no doubts and it was smart to be sure the engine was good, don’t forget the transmission, if the oil smells and looks bad and dirty address that.
And we too have been misled by “used car salesmen” so we feel for you there. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure, my wife and I have watched your family grow and love your channel:)
I’m glad the motor is good. Some don’t mind throwing money away. I’m sure the bus will turn out great!!!
It sounds like a great project. Take your time. Enjoy the process.
I have always admired Doug's logical thinking and his ability to tackle problems I would walk away from. I'm looking forward to seeing you persevere in getting that bus back on the road. Good Luck turning that sow's ear into a silk purse, if anybody can do it you can. Phil
thanks for filling us in Doug.
Doug if you feel the engine is good then go for it and totally understand why ur not going to show alot of the bus work❤️🇨🇦
Im just shocked to hear you say there is something you can't do! You will totally transform this van! I can't wait to see your progress! I know you will fix it up and it will be amazing!
I will look forward to how you move forward. 👍
I agree with you on fixing the newer bus.
You can do it Doug. Your the only guy I know that can, make a mountain outta a mole hill! I have faith in you and I know Ashlee does. She's right there with ya. God Bless, Love, Granny
Thank you so much.
@@zippythechicken I love that Zippy! Granny😂
Thanks for the update. I look forward to your videos. I know you and Eevee do your best and you have the knowledge to do so. Don't pay attention to what people say you know what you are doing and you do it well. Take care. I look forward to your next video.
Hang in there you will get it!
You should send this video to the crook who lied to you about it. Shame on him! I support your decision to try to keep it and see what you can do 😊❤
❤❤❤. I stand with you.
Doug, Om sorry you are having a hard time with this bus 😫. I’m confident you will find the best solution for your needs . I’m here to support you ❤!!!
This is such a great lesson for your kids to observe. How many of you have adult children who bought a ‘lemon’? Doug must have a father who was a mechanic, carpenter, plumber, electrician and TH-camr! By taking it all apart, you dug deep for all the facts. Then decisions are easy.
I would get a good rust converter from somewhere like Eastwood and brush that on all the rust after wire wheeled off....THEN use the rust type of paint
POR 15. Never used it but heard it is good though expensive
Good morning ☀️ the bus is a big project for sure, you guys have a super blessed day❤
I never comment bad or give you guys a hard time on things y’all’s decision it’s for y’all to make you will work it out one way the other and I just enjoy watching you guys
Can’t wait till you start fixing the bus up 👍
Doug whoever sold you that bus aught to be ashamed of themselves!!! It’s hard to believe there are people like that in the world, but unfortunately there is. I hope they are able to sleep well at night knowing what they did to you. What ever you decide to do I know all of us that love and care for you and your family will be right there with you. I’m sure we’ve all bought things that aren’t what we expected they were. You do what is good for your family and we’ll be right beside you all the way. Until next time. ❤❤❤❤😅
I’m so sorry you have to go through this. Staying positive to know if anyone can fix it you two can. ❤
At the very beginning, I thought you were in an Ice Cave. All the blue tarps. When I'd hike up to the ice caves at Paradise...going inside was beautiful blues everywhere. Of course, that was 55 years ago, and they have since closed.
