around a a year and a half ago i recieved a phone call about a bus in the woods.
the guy said it had alot of windows but was full of stuff. so i called about it and the owner couldnt tell me much other than he had it for 20 years in a storage building and had recent pulled them out and set them in the woods back off the road...he said he wanted to sell.
so my wife and i drove the 62 singlecab 120 miles to go loo at this bus in the woods..turns out there two busses in the woods and he wanted to get rid of both busses just would not part with just one.
i asked how much and the tipical ""give me a offer popped out"".
i told him i didnt like to price other peoples stuff but he insisted so i popped off a price for the one as i wasnt interested in the other.
he told me no on the price so i told him that he ovious had a price in mind and he was waisting his time and my time..just pop out a number and im either going to say yes or no on it...he stood and did some thinking..and shot out a price for both..i said ill take them.

this is what we first look at the deluxe

within two weeks i had my part done..and went to take it for its first drive...every gear shifted so smoothly...except 4'th gear..shifted in just fine but as soon as i let out on clutch...it popped out of gear...as john would say..i did not win the lotto with the original transmission....so we did not go to Eureca Springs last year because i could not find a small nut trans in time...

after eureca springs i found a trans within a week...got it all changed out and took it to Busses At The Brewery last oct. across town..wenter hit i a put it away in storage..pulled it out and started driving it..cleaned things up..finishes all the insulation on the inside found a few parts down in tenn. at Bugapuluza..and loaded up and went to Volks-Weston 2014 in Weston Missouri..what a fun time we had there..i took a bunch of pictures next to a old barn where we had camped at

Nice save on the 15 window. Weird somebody decided to paint the interior lime green but left the outside untouched (thankfully).

Great save and great pics. I saw your bus at Volksweston I believe, it was parked at the bottom of the main road by the music, we weren't too far away with ours.

Nice work on the seats too!

Bitchin' Bus. I like how it looks next to that Barn. I think the wheels look cool. Not a fan of whitewalls on anything but I'd certainly drive it.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice fine, crazy that it was so complete. Not sure I would use that felt as insulation, doesn't that stuff hold moisture? Kinda like putting a damp sponge on the inside of your bus.

I've experimented and I'm a big fan of "B-Quiet™"...less expensive than Dyna Mat and a better product in my opinion. Self adhesive, great sound deadening, forms well to irregular surfaces, easy to trim...

I don't think I would use that insulation either; You can use some of the foil covered bubble wrap and it will not absorb any moisture.

Your bus has an awesome look to it; perfert fade.
