Awesome bus! What kind of wheels are these?

Thanks for bumping this thread. I had forgotten
or not noticed the first time I saw this that this
was an air ride build. The Shockwaves are a nice
solution for the front, a bit spendy though but bolt in.

Would be nice to see how it rides.

It´s a structural paint made by Innotec. It´s been painted over with black spraycan paint.

U-POL sells a product that produces a fine textured black finish like that in rattle can form. It's called PLAS/4F. The PLAS/4F texture is actually just a bit finner that the one in the picture above, but they have another product, PLAS/4C, that has a courser texture.

I seem to remember asking you a long time ago, but I can't remember what you said.

What, if any, modifications were made to the wheels and/or the hubs to get the center caps to fit properly? Also, did you use spacers on the rear?

Thanks for the pictures. Nice project, this remembers me of the following brochure:

I love the de-badging--nice work norway- that euro clean never goes out of style

wouldn't that textured paint on the grill be a total bitch to clean ? I mean it looks like sandpaper... how could you even dust it off without snagging tons of lint off a paper towel or a rag ?

the rims are super cool !!

I have to point out: this isnt my car. I´ve just corrected the info above. No mods other than spacers used.
