Nice! Looks cool regardless of the color!

lol- the tri-color is a bonus for sure.. :wink: the cargo floor is really clean, the cab floor has a few holes, but considering what i have had, i'm pretty stoked.

did you ever find the info you was looking for? i have no had the chance
to get to the museum, but i have not forgotten about it. :wink:

Jerry- yeah, i spoke to an older guy at the library there in Crescent. He said it was named "the Ritz", which matches what the owners daughter in-law told me. If you do get up there, I would be interested in finding out any info.

pic. p.s looking good so far, so can we expect to see it on the road
by the end of the week?, j/k :lol:

the windscreen glass is not logo'd - so unfort. i think it has been replaced. but really doesnt show any signs of fogging. i'm wondering if it wasn't replaced while it was being used as a schoolbus? end of the week? man- i wish, it's engine-less. :cry:
