This 23 is the baddest, sickest bus of all times....

Check it out closely, body bumpers that morph into the wheel flares
and that modular roof to fill up that nasty old sunroof hole!

I would so roll that

My favorite is the Olds Vista Cruiser/Buick Skylark Sportwagon roof graft. Good God.

Spotted this awhile ago over here by me, but has since disapeared. Hopefully it went to have both the front & rear wells fixed :lol:

D-ick, you mean green rocky mountain Cooars.

True that, C! We even found a pair of rad big black 80's sunglasses on the parcel tray! Other period options included a tacky stained wood interior, a custom geared tranny for the big wheels in the rear, tinted windows, and GM retractable seatbelts. When Chad brought the bus back to the last owner (had it for 20 some years) he asked him why he painted it grey and changed the wheel arches! :roll: :lol:

Creating hogged wells is easy...
Me hoggin' the wells on my old '57: swwweeat!

Fixing hogged wells is a PITA!:

Of course, I firmly believe in not drinking while welding in wells:
