The wheel housing is so rusty it cant be saved anyway but i will not modify so it cant be brought back to stock with some new Green metal wheel housing in the future if that is what i want to do then.

Thomas,
i am in no way critiquing what you do to your awesome bus, i was merely suggesting to make the tubs look like a stock pressing. There is thread on here on the prettiest tubs, i think the best ones look like they came from the factory.

I love the way this bus looks in the last pics, didn't want to quote all the pics, but I think they look the best right the way this one does now. Unfinished and lowered with polished rims, I don't know why maybe it is a hint at its potential or something.
