Volcanic lava might take out a section of our local town(6 miles from me in Black Sands) called Pahoa in HI. Alot of people are leaving the distric but i'm staying and finishing this 71 double door panel.



I got the bus on a VW work trade then I had the car media blasted and was shocked. But then i got a free bust up bus with new aftermarket sheet metal pop rivited on. Did alot of welding and cool custom stuff. Now i really need to finish it since i have EVERYTHING the bus need new/used in boxes.





I moved all my other cars and am ready to start building this bus. I will post my progress

Why were you shocked after media blasting?

It's funny how that first photo looks like you have the bus parked on fresh lava!

Just be ready to move that party when the lava approaches. :cry:

I was shocked becuse their was more bondo on this bus than i have ever seen. one spot was three or four inches thick. there was senseless bondo everywhere.

really don't think the lava is coming my way but it taking out the only road out of here is scary. looking to finish befor that happens. it would be a cruise to remember
