Thanks Lynda!
Thanks Lynda!
Here's some photos of the bus...posted today with Mr and Mrs lamin8r's help.
The body with right-hand door filled, sshe's now sitting on a 2000 Chev lwb chassis.
The bus's snout...with all hairline cracks repaired, the nose was actually the most time consuming job done on the body...the rust in the body was pretty well all just surface rust...nothing major.
Also a new hand-made front bumper.
400 ci Vortec motor with 5 sp manual box installed.
Side skirts replaced and back guards filled to accomadate 16" rims.
