Speaking of maiden voyages, we took the bus for its first road trip down to the 2nd largest brewery in Golden a few weeks ago.

That is absolutely beautiful. Congrats on seeing the work through! It looks like you just picked it up from the dealer!
Which brewery did you go to? When I lived in Thornton, I use to visit the Coors brewery w/friends and family from out of town. Damn, the beers they gave for free after the tours tasted SO MUCH better than what we buy in the store.

Thanks, my wife keeps asking me what I'm going to name it and the only thing that comes to mind is "O.C.D."
The Golden City Brewery - Its claim to fame came from being the only other brewery in Golden. |

I just love that bus. From where it was when you dragged it into your shop to where it is now.. simply wow..
Be honest.. Are you scared to take it out?

I decided I would try my hand at building the interior... I found some vinyl that was a very close match to some original shards that hadn't been exposed to the elements.

I like this a lot
