Did the upholstery on the jump seat and bed
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

The new shoes came in. Wolfsburg West's repro 15 inch wheels. They are super nice. That box was so hard to carry around though... poor fed ex man

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? _________________ My 1958 PGSG project topic |

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?
