Now I was getting realy close to the deadline 2 weeks till I got married. Made a weekend out of it went to the paint booth 30 minutes away. Took off work went straight there worked till late went to a buddies house that night, but got alot done.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

Got it blocked that night that SUCKED, but we got it done. I also got a suprise that running pos baja that I traded. under went a makeover

Thats all paint no decals there. Was realy nice.
left that night

ready to go.

Next day tack papered that thing and got a prank pulled on me. While in there the bake booth was turned on... Man that got hot fast. Ok now for the fun he started spraying it.

let it bake then went in to tape it off

now for the sg

pulling the tape off and getting the effect of both colors was awsome.

I know I decided on pg/sg cuz I love that combo, but didn't wont to make it look like a early so decided to use flat clear. turned out nice.

and finally home

Great looking color combo. I like the flat look.

I sold this bus years ago, never wanted to but was a wise decision. So it just went back up for sale on ebay and has 6 minutes left. Humbling to know that I built something that is now going for more money then I ever thought it could.

So just wondering I sold this bus to someone local, who put it on Ebay and sold it to a guy in South Carolina. That guy just sold it on Thesamba to someone in California. Can't help but wonder if the new owner gets on here any.
