Tomorrow makes one year that my wife and I have owned Second Edition Book Shop. To celebrate we're having wine and refreshments for the ladies and I'm bringing some beers. It's from 5-7pm. I figure we can cruise from there as I'm around the corner from Tower Shops.

Mike, you have a rare 22 window bus!

It has a floor window so the passengers can see the asphalt. Kinda like a reverse sunroof. BTW I'm building a 12 window Kombi. _________________ You can't polish a turd! 57 vert, 67 westy, 2011 Golf TDI 63 chevy C10 fleetside 60 single cab |

Well guys, it's time for an update on the 67. I've been quietly sanding away on the bus and finally got it to the point where it's ready for paint. Here's todays progress........
in primer
sealer
sealer
2 coats of base color
Clear
Clear

All and all it was one coat of sealer, two base and four coats of clear. Now on to wet sanding and buffing! Thanks to Tim Hesse for helping me out and guiding through the whole process and not letting me slack where I could. And thanks to Jason Stratton for the booth hook up. I hope to have her back on the road in a few months _________________ You can't polish a turd! 57 vert, 67 westy, 2011 Golf TDI 63 chevy C10 fleetside 60 single cab

Thanks for the props guys! The color is called Grey/Green it's an 07 Nissan color. Actually real close to mouse grey but with some olive drab green mixed in. _________________ You can't polish a turd! 57 vert, 67 westy, 2011 Golf TDI 63 chevy C10 fleetside 60 single cab |

If Tim Hesse is involved it's gotta be one hell of a paint job. Looks good. Real good. _________________ **** Wide 5 ****

Here's some shots of the 67 outside. You get a much better picture of the color.
