I never could understand why this channel didn't get more views, but it seems that the regular schedule is paying off. Great content, but I miss travel episodes.
Really enjoyed this video. Rarely do you see the level of detail in restoring a bus. This bus is on it's way to going back to its original pristine condition. Thanks for the video!!
Iv watched your videos and Brandons bus also with great interest you explained everything so well and I seen your skill improve as the videos progressed.
Awesome, I get a lot out of your videos. Like the pro 15 primer. I just used regular primer around my side windows and rear and 2 years later I've got rust behind my seals so now I'm going to have to pop out the windows and do it all over. Well just 3 of them. But thanks for the info.
i was doing some work on my parents '95 jeep Cherokee today (technically yesterday as im writing this at 1 in the morning) because it has recently been failing and when my stepdad and i were looking at it we noticed that the inside of the starter had a huge gouge on it from the flex plate (the automatic car's flywheel) rubbing up against it. we noticed that when driving it would loose all power and just stop working and then it would start again but it turns out the last time the transmission got dropped the person who put the screws in didn't know they needed to put thread locker in and the screws just fell out! so our transmission was just hanging there under the jeep practically but he and i got new bolts and thread locker as well as a new starter, and it now works like it had no damage in the first place! (that's only partially true, as the differential fluid is leaking on the rear left wheel but other then that it runs fine!)
awesome, thoughts on your duraglas technique for the weld seams etc. I have heard a few schools of thought, some recommend sanding away the epoxy over those areas to get the filler onto the bare metal and then others say its not necessary. def heard conflicting thoughts on this and its usually some discussion of well filler attracts moisture etc. epoxy primer not really sandable etc etc? wahts your plan for the filler and prepping the areas that it will be used?
I am doing duraglass over epoxy primer. I know a lot of the old school guys say to put it over bare metal but I don’t trust it on porous metal or weld seams
@@Vangabonders 100 percent agree, so confusing for a newb like me what to do, have seen videos where the guy swears you "HAVE" to have the glass filler on bare metal and others that say modern fillers dont need to be!, myself id rather have epoxy be the only thing touching the metal, do you think it needs to be roughed up at all or just go right over the epoxy with the DURA? i know most people dont sand the epoxy primer and usually its pretty thin so perhaps that would defeat the purpose of even having it epoxied in those areas if you sand it?
Ive been watching ur episodes whenever they drop, even all the way back to when u first got the bus… ive been working on mine and was wondering which lincoln mig welder u had, is it the 140t? Thanks man and keep going, ur almost there!!
Hey man follow up on the ospho / acid treatment such as this or naval jelly or klean strip metal prep, i know some people just let the ospho dry and others say it needs to be re-wetted with ospho and then washed down with water or some even go so far as to use baking soda etc to neutralize it to prevent issues with epoxy primer? any thoughts on what to do with phosphoric acid treated areas prior to epoxy primer to make sure its "neutral" if thats an issue or not is debatable

The travel content will be back when Tangy is brought back to life. I’ll then be moving on to another secret project 🤫 Glad you enjoy the channel
great work on that window!
With the care and attention to details, that bus is going to look better than new when you guys are done... Thumbs Up!
great how to vids, golden advice!
Cool 😎 video guys 👍🏻🏴
Awesome as usual!
Glad you liked it!
You’re inspiring me to get to work on my 69 westfalia that I purchased this year.
go for it!
Awesome work , it will be rustyproof 😁
That is the goal 🙏

Glad you enjoyed it! I’m doing my best to restore her to her former glory

Was thinking that acetone would have been the last cleaning step...ya learn something new every day...all hail the algorithm!
I just do it the way Paint Society does it and he's painted more cars than I can count!
Your doing an awesome job 😃
Thank you! 😁
Nice work! This is algorithamazing! Looking good.
Jasper at the end is my fav 🙂 the epoxy is nice too 😉
I’d say I love epoxy and jasper equally 😂
Looking good. You are going all out on this build. It will be great when finished 🎉🎉
That's the plan!
Awesome job, like always, now you can see the transformation taking place the next step once everything is done is the original bus color orange .
I am excited for that step!
Very detailed and tedious work, but will be worth it in the end.
I sure do hope so haha

Great vid - never saw the 2 part sealer before. Been using the brush and tube. Looks solid!
I am a fan of epoxy materials
@@Vangabonders I am as well - does this maintain any flexibility, or does it cure solid?
@@rayj9046 It should provide some flexibility as most seam sealers do. Only time will tell if it will crack
yeh guys nice work!!
Appreciate it!
Commenting for the sake of commenting.
Bless you Michael
Your channel and Nova Scotia Barndoor are my fave VW channels. I love the detail and good quality video effort you put in.
Wow, thank you! I've seen some of his videos, he is very knowledgeable in old VW repair
@@Vangabonders yeah he is next level perfectionism lol
@@Vangabonders but your videos are funny too :)
Nice job. Mallory is a pretty good taper. I hate doing that also.
Haha I’ll let her know you think so

Sounds like you’re well on your way to becoming a top notch mechanic! When are you getting your first bus?
@@Vangabonders probably in maybe 6 years as i don't even have a license yet but when i get one im gonna save up to get a bus and then restore it.
👍👍👍

I’m glad you’ve stuck around this long! I use a Lincoln Easy MIG140
@@Vangabonders great! Gonna pick one up soon for my bus, thank you again for your high quality and enjoyable to watch videos!!
@@patrickohalloran3383 glad you enjoy the videos. I'm sure you will love that welder
What kind of paint did you use? By the way, your videos are awesome.
This is Raptor Epoxy primer. I would recommend using the Eastwood Epoxy primer but I’m going to see how this stuff does long term 😄
