yes your right,,,thats the plan..im just stoked i can see the impression of the logos.but the logos tell me the story of the bus,,and thats pretty cool.. |
My point exactly...what does it matter if the logos were painted the day it was bought new or the last few years of it's service life? They are part of the story of THAT bus... |
Amen my brother!

It looks great. I'm glad you listened to me and went with the light blue, it looks great on the Dove Blue, perfect complimentary shade and period appropriate.

It won't be long before you bolt the wheels on and get that thing back on all 4's for the first time in a very very long time.
Keep it up, keep your focus, we're watching you!
