Thanks for taking the time to give me input on the seam sealer.

Very Nice work. I hope mine will look as good as this when I'm done.

If I ever do this again to another bus it will definitely go much smoother after having done this one and for great pictures like you have posted.

That is great one more thing done!

The battery tray is installed and the rust on the wheel well as been patched. The peace above engine lid has been fitted.

I am not sure if I should start a new thread or continue this one. After all the new floor is in.

I have had a friend of mine that has been out of work and coincidently does really nice bodywork.
So the work has been happening a lot quicker than I have had time to do. It has been a win win situation.

Are you located in the Northwest?

Nice...I went with a factory grey/gray primer color over rust bullet under my Velvet Green Deluxe. I like yours painted green.

Wow, outstanding 'bottom' :lol:
Any sort of special corrosion or impact protection in the green stuff?

What did you do about the gap between the floor and the bulkhead? Maybe it's just an optical illusion from the pic?

Stall20 is his name here on Samba. Tim is up in New York. He does unreal work. Just finished Gersons dblcab for BugJam, it looked insane.
Gmiee5 your rides coming along nice. Keep it up! Get that thing back on the road.

I noticed that Gerson's cargo floors are a little short also.
