Kirk Strawn is THE nicest guy you'll ever meet, and his wife is equally as nice. They have huge parties at their huge warehouse with Walter Bus and 3 other burning man "art crs" or "mutant vehicles". Their parties are my absolute favorite and I love sitting in the driver seat of this big ole Walter Bus. So much fun!
Not a fan of VW buses, but do admire the ingenuity and engineering expertise to execute this final result. Kudos to the entire team for putting their imagination into reality. Well done, gentlemen, well done.
I'd like to see the audio system in that puppy. 85 speakers, I think I heard in the description. I'm also a big fan of vintage Volkswagens. Very cool piece of rolling artwork you've created.
Cool idea but poor execution when you consider end result amazing how the finish job on a vehicle makes or breaks it in my opinion...Its missing canvas roof, side windows, nice paint job and inside (obviously there's space below upper deck) but sure there are reasons why.....Maybe we need Dave Kindig haha
There are two qualities of the VW bus that I'll bet Walter doesn't have, and thats a good thing. The old T1 busses were so light in front that on a windy day the front end would lift and move you over one way or the other .The other is there was no front end protection. Look down under the dash, you can see the headlight buckets protruding in and realize that there was not much between your feet and legs and what ever you hit. 😱
No officer that is not my BASIL.....that is Walter's, he's a War Vet. SERIOUSLY!!! Don't judge a book by its cover!!! I told him he shouldn't be driving but you can't tell an Old War Dog nothing. He said he is a Party Bus and is STILL the life of the party!!!🙄🙄🙄😉✌️
Hello from Russia ! sorry for my English.😉 And what, in your USA this bus is certified, registered and allowed to travel on public roads ??? Is it realistic to issue? 🚌
Так как в Северной Америке подобная возня с машинами достаточно популярное хобби, существует несложная продцедура регистрации плодов этого творчества. У нас в Канаде надо пройти инспекцию, заплатить 200-800 баксов (в зависимости от типа машины) и можно кататься по дорогам, получив сертификат. В Америке в каждом штате будут свои ньюансы, но по большому счёту, всюду будет примерно одинаково. Обычно дадут пару недель на регистрацию типа канадского (не знаю сколько там она стоит) и вперёд
@@giladshulkin1443 Я спросил не о самой теоретической возможности пройти сертификацию и регистрацию - это и в России можно сделать.

@@giladshulkin1443 I didn’t ask about the theoretical possibility of being certified and registered - this can be done in Russia too. I'm talking about the chances to certify and register this particular instance! In order to move around the DOP, and even more so for transporting people (and this is actually a bus now!) 🚌 you must comply with strict safety requirements and technical standards! I think that in the USA they are even stricter than in Russia. I doubt that this “home-made” corresponds to them (although, perhaps, work on it has not yet been completed), but in the video - it already travels through the city streets! Is this legal? 🚔
A Lada Niva's safer than much of the stuff drivable under laws in most U.S. states. Only problem is a Niva can't be imported until it's 25 years old but you can tack weld a pile of steel together with an engine, lights, wheels, and maybe a steering wheel yet still drive it legally.
@@Kimoto504 There is a difference - tuning a serial, car (Lada Niva)or a 100% homemade car! This giant bus has never been tested for safety, braking and steering ! It is dangerous on public streets and roads !

It reminds me of one of those "tall bikes."
Had it had a VW paint job on it, it would have looked a lot better.
I have been on it at burning man, very cool.
I love you Walter!!!!
Crazy...not what I woulda thought of when I seen that old fire truck
This has what the "Giant VW Beetle" video lacked - the ins and outs of how it was put together. Kinda crude, but a neat concept.
Love Walter! Hes a hero ❤
Some old hippies are totally trippin balls when they see this.
Superb imagination and determination! Original thinkers!
Now that is something that I would call epic!
It's even got safari windows!
Far from Ridiculous, the profile and fabrication is really good!
Wanted to hear the sound system tho
Dude Dank yeah lol
Fr
Would make a great mobile home!

No longer a vw micro bus now it's a vw mega bus
U guys are brilliant.....big love on wheels
I see this every year at Burning Man, what a trip, it should go into mass production, with free LSD compartment dispenser, grooooooooooooovy.....
It's like the first segment of the Mammoth Car from Speed Racer.
That’s right folks, a smile and a wave greeting... and get the hell out of Walters way ...!

Probably because it's a 'work-in-progress' requiring more funds which means renting it out before it can become really finished!
You build one then
For a party bus that goes to burning man, it's perfect. Make it too nice and you wouldn't want to use it
Congratulations on the very good video I just a Kombi fan but this one is too beautiful, I'm from Brazil and I used the TH-cam translation, 🇧🇷🚌
I Love that VW Party Bus. :-D
Kombi bus.Wow,the hippies would have liked that!
Imagine driving to the gas station in this.... 🥴💸💸💸
The world's largest VW Bus next to the world's largest VW Bug next to a Normal VW Bus n Bug next to mini bus and many bug. That would be a cool video.

Love it love it love it😍😍😍😎😎😎😎
Love you walter
I was expecting a huge steering wheel. Anyone else? 😁 Koolest VW bus I've ever seen!
Groooooooooooooooovy
VW should have used this for advertisements for their vans in Europe. Then have Swede Peter Stormare narrate the ads!
Imagine all the weed you could put in the back.
🤣
Really cool
That’s what you call a “road king”

I hope they have a CDL!
Now making greyhound buss or school bus sized VW van from fifties and sixties cool
I've seen this at VW bus events!
That's just Crazy.....
This guy must have been high as a kite to create this
Is this from transit?
I want to see this in person
Way cool
FLUFFY would want! Gabriel Iglesias. And don't ever show it to Jay Leno! LOL!!!
Cool
If Walter meets up with the mega beatle car
Wait this was at the first episode of the grand tour intro wow

Probably can’t go anywhere with above ground power lines.
I actually mistook those speakers for a bunch of tiny wheels lol
New gta 6 party bus haha
Don't tell me that's the Uber Eats commercial girlie guy...!
locomotives head behind you
Oh look at his little ponytail
Nice
El Camino
Oh wow man ! That’s just too high , and kinda far-out😎
@@dougbaker2740 like .. sure
Gru approved
Shabby Chic.
When people do this they frequently mess up the dimensions. Seems like with all that effort, you’d just do the math.
That reminds me of a 50s bus..
How many of Walter's passengers were on hallucinogenic drugs at Burning Man?
isn't it too high?

#Really ?
How good are these super tiny nearfield, tiny pinhole, micro cameras these days?
#hmm
CERTAINLY don’t think that gets great mpg ! 😂
Neither did my 1966 VW bus!
It was cooler as a fire
When it topples over, and all occupants get mouse trapped.
Why there's so many grown ups, acting like kids these days?
waltuh
worst paintjob ever
Original looked better.
... pictures Jigging & shaking, not for me that, otherwise
This guy turns a nice fire truck into that ugly bus
Sounded like he turned a piece of garbage into a business
You right I agree but I still like the fire truck better
What a shame to destroy the original truck. Would have made a great overlander.
The editing and filters are completely terrible
please paint it something better
