Bus looks much better with the new rack. I would throw some Hurst bumpers on it as well.

i think this one would be great with Byce bumpers, and i agree that cut wheel wells are not bad at all if they are cut with a purpose.
would never cut one myself, but if it came that way, part of it's history...

Indian Cove, Joshua Tree National Park
Not too off the beaten path because I'm only a block away from my house. Great time to visit the desert, just watch the weather/wind reports. |

I was waiting for someone to point that out!  It was probably a loose ground as it was working when I went to check it at the next stop. (The bulb housing ground on that side is still an alligator clip  )
