I like the height on this one Cool

My goodies from the show Very Happy

unfortunately the windshield lip got stuck in customs so I couldn't pick it up from the show Sad

Well today i just found out that if I put the lift spindles on my bus will be too tall for the paint booth Confused

, So I guess I will have to put that on hold after it is painted. But I also found someone with a good passenger side dogleg Dancing

and a possible parts bus Razz

at no dough. Now it's just back to the norm cut,clean, weld thru primer, weld, re prime Wink

. Plus I now have new asshole neighbors that live inside there building and call the cops on me Rolling Eyes

. Too bad they can't do anything because it's a commercial district Twisted Evil

This is what I love to see! Keep up the great work. I spent years cutting and welding out rust and crashes, and I didn't have anywhere near the work you have to do. I always think that instead of sending busses in this condition to the scrap yard we should send them to some big field in Arizona until they are valuable enough to make this work worth it.

Awesome Job!

well I have been talking to gerson seems like he will make me a floor Pray

. I don't like the looks of the other panel, none of the holes line up. and it's to thin even fully welded in it still flexes when you stand on it Confused

. expansive lesson learned Embarassed

. haven't been able to do much at all due to the rain storms.

Also I'm heading over there to try and catch the owner today, looks like their bus is being used as a shed.

Holy crap, you have some real dedication. 99.99% of us would not have even tried saving that hulk- there's a name for you-HULK! and it's green! Why don't you try getting some 75/25 argon-co2 gas, welds will be a lot cleaner? Many kudos.
