Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 12:30 pm Post subject: The Epizootic Combat Bus |
|
|
yesterday we collected my new toy, beside the prototype!
its a 1951, i couldn´t let her go.
the bus was used for epizootic combat in the past, this is why i gave her this name!
but we decided to cut it and use the front for the prototyp barndoor..

lower outer valance amongst other differences (oh and because only an idiot would cut up that 51' bus and not repair it and I don't think you are one )
oh, nice score on the 51' & good luck with the prototype project _________________ www.musclebus.co.uk

What I was thinking.
Ben's a bus man. I know he likes to modify stuff but I don't think he'd scrap a perfectly restorable 51. Besides, I get the impression he appreciates a good joke. _________________ www.melburgluft.com |

yes, so shame on you!
well, i´m going to restore it of course, it will be getting lowered, no question about that, but first cames the prototype...
i love the fact to have a old lady in spare, for the day once the prototype is done! _________________ GermanRestoKommando

Your such a wind up merchant JD.
No knowing barndoor guy would ever cut that up today. But more obvious, anyone who did would NEVER post it up on thesamba. That's like signing your own death warrant :2gunfire: :snipersmile: :2gunfire: |
