Just drivers door and dog leg, rest are all small but time consuming things.
At the end I have to turn bus upsidedown and check it below, sandblast it.

I dont think so. It might just be finished with body work and prepared for paint.
Hope next year

I was never thinking about a name for my barndoor. but I liked when LJay wrote up few posts that I am "dragging that beast back to life".
when I look at my bus after all this work how it is rounded huge and chubby I like to call him a beast.

Agreed, I keep wincing at the Before pictures, which just makes the After pictures that much better.
Nice work. |
