I need to figure out a way to do more of these things. Two in 9 years doesn't seem like nearly enough. 8)

If it’s anything like this one in the rust department, then i’ll Have to quit my day job (which is what I really want to do) and open a shop. Then I could knock them out.

Thank you. this was one of my toughest projects to date.

I once sectioned a ghia vert down the middle longways and that was easier. 8)

I'm to the point where I want to do this type of work full time, just have to make it happen.

Hot damn, it just went from 6 to midnight! I mean that insofar as the restoration is progressing along quickly, nothing more, perverts. The color looks great, man. Badassery.

Damn Corey! That SWR paint and your work is beautiful. You need to be doing this full time. I hope you can make it happen for yourself as well as everyone who will line up to hire your talents! Way to go!

Hard to believe it’s been almost 13 years since rolling the bus. After Corey did the paint on it it went into my dad’s warehouse and waited on me to get around to it. Been real busy with life but now that I’m settled in up here in Montana the bus was brought up here where it’ll get assembled at some point. My garage is packed like sardines right now but hopefully that’ll be only for a short time as I’ll be building a bigger garage in the next few months and collecting parts for it.
