And now just in time with a back bumper...
And after all this time I finally got the parking brake installed. Thanks to Stan and Gibbs for making that happen.
I think my digital camera is on it's last legs. It is not taking very good pictures these days.

So the panel did really great on the bash. No mechanical problems at all, and it had to get me from Bucks county over to Tabernacle and back. I decided to reward it for such great service.
It's now a proper panel with an original divider. It may be in a little too good of a condition for this bus, but man it's like riding in a Cadillac now, it's so much quieter in there.

Now get a PVC tube run up front and you'll be toasty warm up there in the Winter.

It still has the center main tube, it's just the part that runs under the cab floor that is missing. The main rust on this bus seems to be concentrated on the front/nose.

| Are you planning on welding up the hinges on the original driver door or are you gonna run the blue guy permanently? Just curious. |

That's a good question that I hadn't thought much about. Last week I would have said that was a perfect idea, and then I could use the blue door on the monster rebuilt, but that's changed now. I'd have to look closer at the original panel door to see what is left to weld to. Where would I get loose hinges?
