 |
|
I have a 1966 21 Window that was in decent shape to start with. The nose ended up being mostly filler and was cracking off so here we go...
The nose I ordered from wolfsburg west, complete up to about halfway up the windshield. WW spot welded the 1/2 windshield frame to the nose so it still has a seam where you would expect to see one (windshield to nose seam).
This work is being done by a local guy by the name of Kevin Patterson at northwest hot rods. He is known for great body work and amazing paint jobs. He has restored a 23 window as well.

The fun begins...

As nice as the inner structures are, the bus doesnt seem to have encountered a wreck bad enough as to remove the nose.
Nice project bus for sure!

And now the paint booth gets a work out. Should be done early summer. New Interior ready (Greg Noble and Clara Williams special), wheels powder coated and ready, bumpers powder coated and ready, 2.0 liter engine ready (Chico Performance), new head lights tail lights, sunroof. New wire harness, new windows, frames, rubber. New door handles, one key does it all. Now that i think about it, everything has been either replaced, or restored to look new. Light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to everyone on this board for the advice, parts, and support.

That interior looks great. When do the headlight buckets go in?
