I tend to agree that it looks like it now, but any info on the question of paint change dates as posed in my question?

Unfortunately, the red on the outside is a bad repaint. Underneath, there is some bad bodywork. And when the parts that need to be replaced are cut out there will be little original paint. I can only wish that this bus was in as good of shape as Skims SC. That thread was epic. Especially Greg's SC. WOW!

here's some progress on the bus. I now have my 4" beam in and will have my transmission in hopefully the tail end of next week.

Only the Best for the garage!

Recently 'finished' although there are a few changes to make! It has a 5'' beam, 3'' narrowed rear, rancho pro-drag box, 2332 ida motor, fk89, comp elim heads, 12.5 comp. Going to run a 1776 with a freeway flyer soon though as I think its a bit overcooked right now :)

Another recent picture, need to buff the paint up again, or at least treat it to a clean! Its been in a workshop for over a year so has dust etc on it

Yeah, it's got a white nose. Not my fault. ;)

We pulled it out to clean up the garage.

One of the reasons I haven't been able to work on it much.

Winds up being a storage bin in the garage...

My SWR 60 DC pulled out from storage after 15 years in there and is being sold to a new owner, who hopefully will have it on the road shortly.
