Bit of a sabbatical the last year. Time for an update and give this bus some love. I have been logging the miles this last summer though.
Driver side rocker was always a shit job, rushed it just to finish when I was building it. Blasted through the paint, knocked down the high welds and started over. Had Endura locally put in the effort to match both Mango and SG in their 2K spraymax cans. This stuff is killer, really easy to work with and the blend worked out awesome. Going to wetsand the dry edge shortly once all hardened up. Doing my best to preserve much paint as possible.
Photo is somewhat low resolution but an absolutely awesome match in sunlight. |

Well finally joined the mango mafia with the new to me 1960 walkthru now going to have to sell a camper out of keeper stash to stay. My son and I stripped it back to most of its Og paint and wish the rus would have left with the red paint.

My '60, recent find with m code 121. Motor turns and key was still in ignition. Three live kittens were under the rear seat for three days! I had to cut some seams on the rear seat to get the last one out. Best condition high hinge I've had for many moons. |

Ha.
Sped-read your m-code quote and thought you wrote 131: live kittens under seat. |
