This poor thing has been pushed aside for a few years and has finally received new brake lines, master and wheel cylinders, shoes, cables, new gas tank, and etc. The engine stops at some point when hand turning so I am assuming valves are stuck. I dropped my 2387 in it to take it to MSRA Back to the 50s weekend and it was a hit! So many people couldn't believe it is driveable. And the typical people shouting rev it up while cruising thru the fairgrounds were obliged.

That is great to hear. Please continue this thread with all your updates as it motivates others to work harder on their buses.

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.

Here is a shot of where the roof sits for now, I have a lot of work to do before it doesn't leak in the rain. Cargo floors, crossmembers, and rockers to come hopefully later this summer after I get the Syncro mobile.
