Did someone steal the iron cross mirrors? And is there any pics of that high roof bus?

Very cool...it's not my style, but you have good fabrication skills. Keep up the good work and thanks for the pictures!

This thing is Bad Ass.. Love it... I have a 77 that I'm painting solid Satin Black and want to lower and wanted to go with the Red stock wheels but the wife things Old Gold would look better with our Zookdesign.com look.

This is a real build thread, not just a "I painted and put new tires on my bus" thread. In my past I have fabricated my own steering and suspensions, not to a bus though, but this thread is like the ones you see on builder sites and I like that. Bolting a lowering kit to a bus is cool, but building the bus yourself is way cooler and I am glad this thread stands alone and is not just part of the 10 million page lowering thread where something like this would be lost. I wish we had a lot more builds being individually discussed in this forum. 8)

that's not going to happen because dealing with the stock height mafia gets old.

what's funny is even the split window beetle forum isn't fraught with all these anti lowering hate mongering purists...case in point:

20yo kid saves one and lowers it. not a single negative comment in that thread.

i saved my 73' westy from getting scrapped, replace(ing) tons of rotted out metal on her, and getting her back on the road...but because i lowered the heck out of it suddenly that's not ok and i ruined it :roll:

when this forum is more open to lowering/modifying like other sections on samba then i'll gladly post up builds. but until then i'll sit on the sidelines and watch.
