BAD O DEE Niels!!!!! or as they say in Dutchsíco ........ OKAY!
It's come a long way! Props to Paul and Marco for their hard work and expert craftsmanship on your long awaited ride. Just from this one picture it looks really nice. You need to post up some more pictures in here. Inside and out. And I love the finish on the paint.
Question for you .............. when and where will your ride make it's debut? |
Thanks Johnny! It came a looong way indeed. Paul did an awesome job and Marco and I are still on it. Here are a view more pics:
Mr. Paul Wisk proud next to the "finished" bus incl UK papers:
March 25, 2014: Delivery day!!! It's back
At the Ben Pon Show:
The interior done by Mike at Fabric Interiors in the UK.
Like factory original, great job:
Front beam removal and test-fitting the 3" narrowed DogBack Beam:
Fitting the 8J Fuchs on the rear, approved by my boy Justin
Beginning of Feb. 2015. Continuing the work on the front end.
3" narrowed and lowered beam, incl dropped spindles, CSP disk-brakes mounted. Brake servo will be installed later as well:
Still TEST-fitting everyting. But it will be rollin' on wide rims with (even more) jucy tires
7J up front and 8J on the rear:

I just posted up CHINGOS of pictures in a 4 part series in my blog. YES! That is how bad ass this event is. Needed to break it down and show whom ever didn't attend, what they missed.
Here is a shot of the crew ....... Moe Reese, Comrade Dougie, myself and Cirilo Gangoy Jr lll (Maurice's son). Both Dougie and myself came back from an "Alternative" Cruise hence, the pose. RIGHT COMRADE!!! DAH!!
Good times out there and major props to Erik Koplain for sorting us out and ALL the crew involved putting this show on.
Here is a rolling shot of the fellas heading back to their hood.
Here is a group shot of some of the characters on hand. Roll call ………. Pops & Justin, GFK fame. Funky Phil, VTO. Cirilo Gangoy Jr lll. Serg, Moe Reese, Henry and Comrade Dougie. I’m the guy sporting the Butcher Shop shirt. OKAY.

Here are some shots of Barndoors present at this past OCTO.
I posted CHINGOS of pictures on my blog: http://barndoormafia.skynetblogs.be
Even the Bus Farmers made it out. Jeremy's clean 53 Standard.
Eddie "PITBULL" Aguire's 1953 Panel.
Now this was a treat. Haven't seen this bus in a long time and now it has a new ower, John. John got it road worthy.
The crowd favorite ......... Comrade's 55 Deluxe.

This was such a cool and very rare sight. How often do you get a 21 Window, a 15 Window, a Standard and a 23 Window ......... all in the Mouse Grey color scheme ....... together at one event!? I'm sure I wasn't the only one drooling and taking pictures of these rides together.
