My wife did up one curtain so I can secure it in the closet area. I think I would have liked a larger plaid pattern but this is what was offered at the fabric store. I refuse to go to more than one fabric store lol

What an absolute killer bus! The stance combined with the mouse grey is just great.
Can't wait to see it on 15 inch steel wheels though. Are you going to run hubcaps btw?

The nose didn’t have as much original pain as the rest of the bus so... I faked it. Really happy with how it turned out

Wow, congrats on that nose, that turned out really nice! The bus looks perfect.

I guess you did more than just a Krylon job?

Nice job on the nose!
How did you get those wear patterns if I may ask? Fine sandpaper, paint stripper?
Thanks
