Man! You have come so far with your thin gauge welding and metal shaping skills since you started! Just proves practice makes perfect. 😀👍👍
Congrats!🎉 You allways say "I am no professional by any mean" and then you work better than most professionals I know! (Even without fancy coachbuilder tools 😮) You give me the confidence that I am able to my projects too... Absolut respect for your work! I hope you have as much fun doing the work as I I have watching you do the work! 😂 Greetings from Austria
Glad these videos inspire you. It's one of the main reason I make them! Good luck on your projects
I'm so glad you commented on my post on Bay Pride Forum that led me to your TH-cam channel. I am restoring the exact same year bus! I love the videos as they show me what to expect as I cut out all of the rust. My bus was a Westy pop-up at one time, and I am converting to a tin top....lol.
Glad you found the channel. Why would you ever convert to a tin-top haha we should have traded buses
Improving every day!👍
You’re a pro on my books buddy everything is looking great. What a pro and I mean it.
Excellent work which will last for years to come 👍🏻🏴
Dang all this amazing restoration work just to get it to look normal. Jaa. Sucks people won't even notice the amount of work that went into to getting this bus to look regular. The normal person will never know, but as long as you get that satisfaction of knowing how solid your bus is as you are driving down the road. Damn I have to get a gas mig welder, looks like my gasless flux core ain't gonna work, but I will keep it for heavier metal work.
Nice video! A suggestion other than grinding tiny bits at a time for fitting panels, where/when its possible, cut your new part about 2'' bigger than the part/area you are repairing on the car, slap the new part over and cut both the new and old parts at same time. You will be left with a perfectly fitting new panel and 2 left over strips of 2'' that you can use as a backing sleeve to reinforce your welds if you are doing structural work!
Great video! Lots of attention to details. You are more professional than many who claim to be!
I’ve tried that but with panels like the rear corner it’s nearly impossible to perfectly overlap it with the old part just due to the shape and the lips on both sides. I have used that technique with simpler pieces before with good results. Thanks for the comment!
Love watching these videos as I have a 78 that needs all the same repairs. Inspiring me to get out there and start on my project.
You can do it!
Amazing progress on
very very well done, you are an artist Greetings from the Black Forest
You are doing awesome work on that bus.
Thank you so much 😀
Certainly an inspiration, I have recommended that my son watches your channel as a means of motivation for him to repair his car (not a VW, but a Fix Or Repair Daily)
Dude it’s looking more and more like it just came from the factory! It’s awesome!
That's the goal!
I think this may be one of the most satisfying updates yet.
Thanks man
That was a quality repair !! Pretty perfect. I think Brandons Bus would approve
Yes kris it's really coming on now!
12:23. Don't sell yourself short. Your're definitely someone who takes the right steps in the proces. And obviously you do tons of research about the materials and everything involved. I'am really impressed with the level of quality and attention to detail. On a side note, maybe it is an idea to make a amazon wish list. for materials, grinding discs, tools, supplies etc. I would like to contribute to your project in that way.
I have finally made an amazon wish list for the channel!

Good job I also restored a 64 bug and had to learn from zero but you never stop learning.
I enjoy watching too, its hard work 🤣
As always, this is top notch work 👌🏽. Excited to see you tackle the engine and everything outside of the body work!
You and me both!
Well done. You’re getting to a pro level more and more. In the end, this will be a nice bus.
Hope so!
great boots, great content /as always txs for sharing...
Thanks for watching!
Very nice work, I wonder if you would post longer videos showing the real time repair of a corner etc. I would like to watch.
It would be hours long 😅
@@Vangabonders add the tag ASMR. Honestly if you got the footage TH-cam has the capacity. It's worth a try.
Nice job!
Nice job! Make me wish I'd kept my '62 Split camper. I shouldn't even be here, but I love resto channels!
Wow, great job on the corner. I have the same issue with my '71 and am hoping by the time I get to that my welding and metal work looks as good. Thanks for the great videos!!
You can do it! Just take your time
great job!
new to channel, the vid's are perfect just what i need, you how a lot of the things other channels don't show a proper from start to finish.
Keep it up👍
Excellent work on that corner :)
Thank you! Cheers!
It’s definitely worth it I think there’s a lot of ppl here that have no clue what they are doing like me and have a bus they can’t wait to start working on
Great job, congratulations!!
Great job, looks good enough for me, I’m planning on restoring a 71 t2 soon and I kinda want to tackle the metal work myself 😅
You should go for it!
Thanks yet again I would be lost without your videos you explain things in the easiest way to understand another top repair
I'm glad these videos help
great welding!
coming along nicely. love the improved skills. cheers
Thanks 👍
Really well done!
That looks showroom new after your patching and rebuilding the whole corner…..great work. I enjoyed watching you work.. you are a craftsman
Thanks 👍
😁 great job
Nice work... as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great Work... Thanks for Sharing
My pleasure
Your work is very fine and neat .. good job
Humility and learned skill an awsome combination !
Glad to see you going the extra mile and keeping the bus as stock as possible. Great work and thanks for another great video!!
Nice Work.
I just came across your channel and really appreciate the humble approach to the repair you do.
Another great episode! Keep up the good work.
It’s coming along nicely now 👌🏻
I don't care what anyone says you're doing a fine job
Exelente trabajo! Un trabajo artesanal con mucha paciencia y creatividad, felicidades por ese talento tan creativo 👏👏🤗👍 🇲🇽
Looks buttery
Feels buttery too
Great work 👍🏻
Awesome job, like always for somebody who says he ain*tno professional.
Awesome video very informative 👍👍👍
It looks simple until you decide starting your own project! But still nothing is gonna stop me from doing this kind of thing, wish me luck lol
It’s worth it! Good luck
great work
As always. well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
Good job Sir ❤
congratulations for the content, and the excellence in your work. only video that I see someone from outside my country using protective equipment and doing a great job, greetings from Brazil
FYI, that piece on the arch corner curved out when you flattened the flange on the anvil. The radius of that body line curve is set by the radius of that flange. When you hammer it out, it opens the radius onbthe face of the pannel. Without a shrinker, your best bet in the future is to slit the flange and trim off what bunches up when you flatten it. That steel has to go somewhere. Please don't take this negatively, your doing great! This is how we learn. Keep on trucking!
Lovely work! You have become one of the best and most dedicated VW panel repair persons on TH-cam. Keep it up mate.
Thanks, will do!
Dude, you are racing through this restoration and that corner looks crazy professional. I'm super jelly. Keep it up!
Looking good 🎉 that is pro quality 🎉
Yes, it’s definitely worth it making these videos. Keep the good job up. Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 🍻
Great job…. Nice and tight.
Thanks!
Mint repair
Loving this channel and can't wait to see how the battery tray goes in. You have inspired me to think about attempting the repairs on my 78 bus.
Nice work❤
I saw Beandon use the woodblock method, he first heated the metal to make the shaping go faster
First time watching, I must have been hiding! Wonderful content. I am going back to the start and watch the whole process. Well done on the work you are doing. Can not wait to see the end result.😊
Welcome aboard!
Fantastic metal work!! I really enjoy your videos, thank you
Looking good!!
another capitol video my friend
Lovely job ❤
Hey buddy, your doing a great job there, and yes your doing it the right way slowly and enjoying the process, you have come a long way buddy, Awesome 🤙☘️
wonderful!!!
Glad you think so!
I’d love a list of all the tools used in this video!
Great!
Great work brother. Your videos are very inspiring, thank you for keeping them going for us!
I appreciate that!
That is some serious quality fitting of those craptastic panels. I love your attention to detail and fitment. Your work looks better than a lot of "pro" body guys. It looks really good. Also, kudo's for protecting your body by wearing a mask when grinding. I see so many folks on youtube grinding metal and breathing all the toxic crap into their body shortening their lives..
Definitely agree with you on protecting the lungs. Don’t need metal in there 😅
Qué buen trabajo! Felicitaciones!
Gracias!
damn, i'm in a similar moment as you.. i'm in the process of creating post-floor panels in my jeep xj. I thought I'd watch some motivating videos and that others have it worse ;)
remember, it can always be worse 😂
The repairs look great, I have been doing the body work of my dream car on and off for close to 2 years now and I completely feel what you said about sometimes wanting to go back and redoing things with your new knowledge and skills. What kind of belt sander do you use? I have been planning on getting an electric for a while, it looks handy
It’s the cheap harbor freight brand and it’s done great so far
A comment for the algorithm, and another thank you for the knowledge and the inspiration. I'm just a VW weekend warrior, and am almost done welding my rotisserie now. Did the stupid thing of cutting all the pieces with my angle grinder. Took forever to get it straight.
You're gonna love having the rotisserie
good job...
Aircraft stripper? I think they prefer to be called flight attendants. And you might get punched if you call them that. LOL jk, Love the vids man! Your videos have helped me get my ass in gear and get my bus on the road again. We're going on a 2,000+ mile road trip next week to the redwoods with ours! I'm putting solar panels on the roof, got a 12v fridge for cheap on the local classifieds , and we're hoping our power station (pecron e1000 pro, don't over pay for other brands) gets here before we have to leave Thursday LOL! I also got a queen mattress that is dedicated to the bus so we don't have to steal our guest bed mattress and make it smell like camp fire lol... I don't think I would have done all that I have without your videos! Hopefully one day I restore my bus like you are restoring yours! Keep on Keep'n on!
Respect
Muito bom.... parabéns 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
obrigado
Hey, amazing video!! Mind sharing what clamp you are using @11:20? Again, fantastic work, I hope you my welds to be that consistent!
They're butt welding clamps. Here's a link on amazon: amzn.to/3KFzg55
Super❤
Stellar!!! That looks so good! When do we see a frontside smith grind on the mini-half? : )
👍👍 RESPEKT
Are you a fabricator by trade? Your welding skills are awesome
I started learning how to weld when I started this project. Definitely not a trained welder haha
Great content and great work, as always. One question, as I have to do this corner on my bus at some point (no rust, but poor previous damage repair at some point in its past)... How did you join the two pieces at the seam itself?
Drill 1/4 holes on one side of the panel, clamp them together on the inside and plug weld them. It was hard to record that part so I forgot to include it in the video
@@Vangabonders Excellent, cheers. Seems the best option in the absence of a spot welder. 🙂
Where did episode 54 go Kris?
thanks again, is that seam then just zinc primered and non welded or did you do plug welds in the lip / spot welder ? on the inside or panel bond ? would love to know how the seam will be managed, thanks.
The inside is plug welded in some 1/4" holes I drilled about an inch and a half apart
@@Vangabonders thanks a lot i knew that lip had to be secured together, i noticed on your other video you did some vertical welding along the seam on the outside for your buddies repair, was that because the lip was gone and no way to plug weld along the seam inside the panel?
lets goooooo
so you say klockerholm isnt any good. im about to buy new rockerpanels for my bmw e39. should i expect the worst? ill probably not splice in the whole piece though, just a part of it.
Buen día soy mexicano quiero saber dónde compra los medios cuartos que rempleza
This is the video I’ve been waiting for!
Just one question, do you weld the back of the seams together? 🤙🏻
Yes I do, 1/4" holes on one side of the seam, clamp the seams together and plug weld them
