Nice panel. Keep after it. A little bit of work on a regular basis it will eventually get it done. I have a similar dove blue 1960 pane, That I've passed back-and-forth between friends for a similar period of time. It is now coming together. |

Found a picture here in the gallery of my '56 taken back in '79 not long after the previous owner purchased it in WA. He paid $100 for it, not $150 as I had mentioned previously.
Looking quite excellent in the original Dove Blue paint with just a hint of patina setting in.

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon. |

Removing the smile was probably the first thing I did after getting it home from WA.
I wanted to make it mine so I undid one of the previous owners personal touches that I just wasn't into. _________________ 1956 Dove Blue Panel
