So this is a so35 and not a 34 I didnt realize you had the wood interior rather than the white formica


Yes, it's actually a so34 and "should" have the white formica but I came across some so35 pieces and like that look better. So this bus is going to be an so34 with a so35ish type cargo interior.

No real update here. Still plugging along. Most of the paint removal is done and now I have some work to do on the PO's bondo work in places.

My goal was to have her on the road by today (her 50th birthday) but the engine is still being built. Oh well...by summer for sure.

HA....thankfully you guys were there to help!!

Just finished up the bodywork on the long side. Turned out ok. I still need to do some sanding to try and blend a little better. The nose will eventually need a new skin. I plan to leave it alone for the time being.

This bus is insane for so many reasons. Dream bus right there.

I'd leave the nose personally (and that rainbow). History and all that

A good friend of mine got married last weekend. I wasn't able to get all the interior completed by then but the bus still presented itself well.

This past week I decided to get rolling on building the missing pieces for the ice box cabinet. All I had was the two little doors and the actual ice box.

Sorry, not many in between photos of how I made it.
