Mic don’t get discouraged, in the end these are just some minor setbacks along this journey. Can tell you and Lori are way happier working with this shop, you two are smiling way easier, and have to say these guys may be a young crew but then again when you’re 58 most people are young to you, they’re professionals through and through. The fits and finish I’m seeing are immaculate. This bud is gonna look way sweet when it’s all finished

Amazing craftsmanship!! Hard working and extremely skilled. Pulling all nighters shows how much they care about getting the job done right. The colors you chose are perfect for your build IMHO. Thanks again for showing just how much time and effort is involved in a restoration of this magnitude. Certainly one of the best ever.

Hello, I live just a few kilometers from the birthplace of the VW BULLI. I think this careful restoration is excellent and a lot of fun to watch. My first car was also a VW Beetle built in 1951, it was already 10 years old when I bought it. Still driving a VW this time it's a TIGUAN. I'm already looking forward to the next episode.😃

Hi Mitch and Lori. I'm SO impressed with the loving care you two are putting into this restoration. Kona is a gem. This upholstery crew is top notch and seem to be very easy to work with. I'm enjoying every second of the vids and I don't care how long it takes to post them. I'm just happy you're sharing the process with us and if you're able to defray some cost via the videos,good for you. My only regret is that I'll never get to meet you and Lori and I'll never see Kona in person.

Your color palate is absolutely outstanding. The beachy, bright neutral is so peaceful. The Aqua color with the warm white is the most fitting color for Mitch! As wild as it looks its a color that does exist in the finest waters of the world. I'm very impressed with your vision for Kona.

You're almost at the end! I'm really surprised that the ragtop fit as well as it did with all of the modifications to the roof. It would have been better to fine tune all of the brackets and get it perfectly installed before painting, then it would go on easy. You did it the hard way, but it's done! Yay!
