Great bus!
I'd like to hear more about the interior panels.
Do they look like originals?
Got any more photos?
I installed Clara's interior panels on my '60 Kombi, and we haven't done the roof panels yet.
Any details would be appreciated.

J, they look original to me, I'll get some more detailed pictures and post them here. The roof panels are the best condition of all of them. I'd like to get the rest of the interior panels from Clara in the future.

Thanks Aaron! Im hoping I can have this one to as many shows this summer as possible. I'm battling one big thing right now, a place to work on it. Its in a storage unit right now so can't do much there.

That is a sweet bus...og paint? I have the same - 6 pop out '60 walk thru kombi built in April...mine should be roadworthy in the next month-ish...bullet ts walk thru window buses, kombi's in particular, are my fave...the less 'bling' the better...

What is the date for the transporter show? That was kinda one of my goals to get my bus going also to go there.

That'd be awesome if you both could make it! CTS is Sat May 17th.
