The 58 is painted and being assembled as fast as I can find the time. I gotta sell it as soon as it's finished so I'm trying to get hot on it. Besides, it's taking up my garage space for my wife's double cab and she wants it gone. _________________ 53 Hatch Barndoor

I am planning on driving to the NDBS for sure. That will be a nice first show. Hopefully the other East Coast Barndoor guys will be there also. |
I believe 2 of the "East Coast Barndoor guys" are putting the show on. _________________ I build complete Westy Style camping interiors check them out here > www.rjcampers.com

Congrats on the bus. Definitely a good score. I can only imagine how cold the trip was. _________________ C-1 |

followed this thread since first day... what an amazing story.
I got my first bus (sorry a 70 camper...) a 4th december and I also made a 900km trip with no heating in the bus... It was fun
Very nice bus and adventure... _________________ 1967 Split SO-42 Dormobile |

Yeah man, I actually almost called you, but I didn't know I was doing this until the last minute. Your ticket would've cost me a fortune. You go'n to Daytona in Feb for NDBS? _________________ 53 Hatch Barndoor
