Damn Rich, There goes another one. Are you a sleep behind the wheel!! :D

Wow rafferty, you consider this bus "raised up"??? Its still pretty damn low, too low for me. I guess it was a hair lower when you had it?

And by the way, Rich was not asleep. This bus was never available to anyone else. I made nothing on the transaction 7 years ago, and in return I got the right to buy it at cost when the time came. I got the call last week. Unfortunately, the guy put quite a but of money in it (not that I am complaining).

By the way Rafferty, you can drive this thing anytime you are out here, including to a show like Kelley Park. I could take another bus.

:idea:
to save all that, maybe arrange a straight swap of buses with 10 foot [but keep your sunroof cover;)]

dang, thats an offer i cant refuse Drew.
i wish i could get out to Kelly park. always wanted to check it out. timing is usually the issue.
glad to see you got ahold of it .and at a bargain as it sounds according to todays blown up market.

its not a whole lot higher than when i had it but stance can make a world of difference. looks like he had larger tires also. its all preference anyway.

You will slam a Heb, but not a 23 barndoor? There are more 23 BD's then Hebs? :D Edit: don't get me wrong. I loved the way that you set that Heb up, and my next bus coming will be stock. Way to rare to butcher!! :wink:

Shhhh, hes trying to appeal to the owners that might sell but would never dream of it if they knew the guy would turn around and slam it. :lol: I Can't wait to see that bus scraping the clouds again!

So Drew, now that you got excess invetory, are you ready to work a trade on my og paint Binz you've been wanting? :wink:

Sounds like the tide is shifting again to BD Deluxes at stock height. I hope to hit the trend at the right time as my bus nears completion.

RAISE THAT THING UP!

I don't think lowered BDs are the trend, they are just easier to finish. stock parts just cost too much and are hard to find so it takes longer. :)
