    Awesome video Austin. Look forward to future Bus updates. I have a 1976 Chevy C20 sitting in the garage, pretty rear truck for us here in New Zealand. Your giving me inspiration to get on with the rebuild.

      +Shaun Thanks Shaun! I encourage you to start on with it, it's quite rewarding looking at it after a long day of work and seeing what you've done. :-)

    I had that same rack on a 59 double cab. The oak slats were all dried and split so I made new ones from a few redwood fence boards. Keep up with good work.

      Thanks! I was considering making new ones but decided to save some time and money and reuse the old ones.

    Also do what you want with the bus. You are getting lots of criticism but if you like it it is your bus!!! I love it

      I agree. If someone doesn't like the way you are doing it, invite them to come help.

    For the future, if you don't already know, you can buy real descent paint brushes at Dollar Tree stores for a dollar. Use them and throw them away. It is a very cheap way to go and you don't have the pain and time of cleaning them. Good luck, really enjoy watching a young person with some spunk and common knowledge for a change.

    I love the Vw bus videos but wish you could do them more often, I know time and money isnt infinite but I wish all the best anyway x

    • @AustinLeonardAutomotive
      @AustinLeonardAutomotive  7 лет назад +3

      +Tom Moncrieffe Thanks! Unfortunately money is my biggest constraint on these projects, which is becoming a larger issue with the few projects I have going on now 😰

    • @tommoncrieffe2670
      @tommoncrieffe2670 7 лет назад +1

      Austin Leonard at least you can do this, I dream to have a vw camper, and would love a classic mini, but like you said money is a constraint. Just keep on doing what you're doing and soon you'll be a big youtuber with mega bucks (just remember me when you're rich)

    Great video. I would have just suggested stainless steel screws but they're not cheap. So funny I know what the secret project is but I still keep looking for a slip up while you film. Lol. Is the garage meet going to be part of some of the videos you still got to work on ? Sincerely dude with yellow 510. :)

    • @AustinLeonardAutomotive
      @AustinLeonardAutomotive  7 лет назад +1

      +kenneth dotson Can't wait to start on that project man! I do slip up a few times and show a little though haha. The Garage meet is next in line for editing, got some clips of the 510 in there too - and MAN I need to see some more of that thing! I need to start meeting and connecting with Datsun people around here. Thanks for commenting :). Feel free to insta-message me about secret project stuff :-)

    I'd squirt some rustproofing inside the support rails...Or after...Squirt some oil in there.
    Squirt! Good work!

    • @AustinLeonardAutomotive
      @AustinLeonardAutomotive  7 лет назад +1

      Realistically it should only take a few days, but with the amount of things going on here it took me a few weeks XD

    Use stainless hardware so you don’t rust up

  • @tommydoor1
    @tommydoor1 7 лет назад

    Austin,not to criticize but watch some videos about restoring roof racks before starting on yours, can avoid all the mistakes on yours. Use original hardware. Slow down buddy, enjoy the process

    Hold up a minute. For a second I thought it was neat that we both finished year 1 of college, then I saw the LSU corn hole and I realized we might be going to the same school 😂😂 Do you go to LSU? Nevertheless I subbed for this VW build, It's looking good!
