Mic, you are becoming quite the accomplished work buddy.

[erwien]

Hey Mic, great metal work and welding job! Can't wait to see next episode 😉
Please don't lower the bus!!! I think you can't be sure finding always plain roads. One little bump or gravel roads and -maybe- parts of undercarriage could come in contact with stones or other surface... Please think about that!
All the best from Vienna/Austria

[VWLifeVW]

wow another 45 minutes of bus restoration! love seeing Kona make progress. one day you'll be driving it and it will all be worth it! #VWLife

[johnnewcomb]

Mic,
Glad to see your well again. Those guys do real nice work and its great they let you show how its done. I like that you are recycling/relocating some of the old metal for patch pieces. Still a way to go.
Peace

[andyk]

Oh man! The big panels come back on Kona. What a great success!
It's awsome to see you getting better from episode to episode Mic. Not yet Silverio but already a good metal worker!!! 💪
Can't wait to see the nose back on Kona! Very good job Mic!!!

[BradahBri]

I’ve been following this build from the start and have to give you much respect for going all in! You seem to be soaking up the metal work well and your detailed vids are oasis’s in this tube desert!

[johneastman]

It is amazing how the VW split’y bus restoration industry now has so many parts 
and patch panels of high quality on offer.... 1958, 1963 PU, 1964 21 slide roof ... ++

[ncdave]

Silvio is an artist.. a master metalworker..

[chriscarson]

The craftsmanship of these guys is amazing to watch!

[waynegonnella]

Every time I see a video your smile always makes me smile

[miltonjunior]

What impresses me the most is the variety of tools you lads have. They make the job a lot easier.

[kellydecker]

Good to see more get into the paint booth. Patience.

[ericlunn]

I'm in awe of the patience that these metal workers have to get everything right - no cut corners or shortcuts. Kudos!!

[charles]

Watching this video at 2am. My life is a LEGEND

[mikec-hamilton]

So in depth. For sure this brings one more vw van back into the car world but would have it been cheaper to buy one already done up? This is what "counting cars" should be doing. Showing the real work that talented craftsmen do.

One thing I learned years ago (I had a '66 POS Beetle in the '80s) is when people tell me "You can't do that!" I say " No. You mean YOU can't do that! Watch me!" I describe myself as a Hotrodder with two Mechanical Engineering degrees. Can't find a part? Make one! I weld, I paint, I do bodywork. I know my way around a Machine Shop. And BTW you and the guys working on Kona are kicking ass!

[jimmyeatshoe]

YES!!! My Kona fix!! Thanks Mitch 🤙🤙

[mtstew]

🤙🤟🏼😎 I am happiest on the days your Kona build videos appear. I think I actually caught Silverio crack a small smile a couple of times in this one. So awesome to see his masters touch as always. Sending you good vibes, stay healthy Mic.

[vannipaolo]

Hi Mitch! Progress from a skeleton to a curvy Kona is really incredible. You're showing how make dreams came true! Good work, Man! 🤟🏻🙏🏻
