 Posted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 6:56 pm Post subject: My 58 15w by Sept 15th (maybe) |
 |
|
Well I guess it is time to start a thread on my 58 15w. Like many others I hope that by starting a thread it will help keep me on track and on time. Time is not on my side as I am trying to finish this bus by Sept 15th to use at my daughters wedding. No pressure eh!
Loaded and ready to go by 4:00pm Friday afternoon I have a friend who was nice enough to give me the use of his shop for this long holiday weekend
Interior was completed Saturday morning
Exterior was completed by Saturday evening. That was a long day
My camera was dead so no pics from another long day Sunday but here is the results brought home early Monday morning

A big thanks to a good friend for the use of the booth and also to a good friend for taking all weekend to help get this done, Thanks Eric

Thanks jp/Neil .. the plan is to get it back on four wheels to make it a little easier to go in and out of the shop.
I prepped the beam yesterday I will paint it tonight then start assembling tomorrow.
Where can I buy the shims for setting my camber mine were in pretty bad shape.

Sept 15th? Hopefully not too many butterflies float by... 
Cant think of a better way to spend a long weekend than prepping and painting an early deluxe...I'll get some of the pics I took to you tonight. Nice to see some colour after months of hard work... |

Last time I saw this goofy grin it was in that other 58 15w
The pics don't do the colour justice. Glasurit Line 22 SWR & CB, both look perfect in person... |

Awesome work. I agree nothing is more fun than going from primer to paint over the weekend.
In your first pic I did not see the leaves in the way and thought you fixed the pillars and the roof and got it ready to paint and painted over the weekend. I was going to go home and throw all my tools in the street!

I did the same thing.

I bought shims from Wide5 Aaron a few years ago.
Bus looks outstanding! |

Now comes the fun part. Assembling everything back together. It's very rewarding seeing it all come together. Great job so far!!
