    I've quite enjoyed watching you guys fix up the Bus. Maybe someday I'll be able to do a similar project...

    Great job on the window fix. I really enjoy watching what you two are able to get done on a limited budget. Keep it up. The only question I have is this: what are the plans for the other bus?

    Hey great job of replacing glass panels on Roof , but didn't get why you did not do whole Roof (as in sand back remove rust
    then primer ?) would it not Look much better ?????

    8,600 subscribers. Humorous brothers. Pretty good repairs actually. Did you consider pop-up windows for the roof? It is great to be able to get some ventilation up there sometimes. you have to worry about bugs and a screen as well as water...

    Your poptop 1976 bus was there just like "Why they stopped paying attention to me, they are only with my cousin" xD

    You should've paint the roof before you install the windows in the roof because there'll be a small amount of metal left with out paint. Good video though.

    I have read that Vinegar and water is really good at removing surface rust. I think is is one part vinegar to two or 3 parts water.

    I have a 76 tin top camper, but it does not have a place like the in the roof..... wish it did, I would love to put in a fan like that!!!!

    Heating up the rubber helps / makes it soft

    The windows are kind of cool. But I think I would have just welded in a panel. I'm just a purest I guess. Great video though.

    • @Vangabonders
      @Vangabonders  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +DoubleODude I still plan on welding the roof shut, but I would like to use original bus roof metal. For that reason I held off and just went with the simple fix. When I have the money to get a donor roof she will be going back to being a full tintop.

      +KF Garage you were smart to put the glass back in. Welding that up would probrobly be a disaster. it would warp like crazy

  • @jacobneary1755
    @jacobneary1755 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    it would be cool yet expensive to have a solid glass roof, it would be really cool for camping under the stars but weird i guess just in case of stalkers or the pain of replacing it if it cracks

      Jacob Neary also uhm...HOT AS HELL

    For the two holes in the roof that you put glass in, you could instead install a fan.

    Side note, where did the starter button you used come from? I recognize it but for the life of me do not remember where.

    • @Vangabonders
      @Vangabonders  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's from a VEX robotics kit I had from childhood lol

    Was this bus originally a tin top camper, or did you install the cabinetry?
