Isn't that what made the world great and seems to be fading (FAST) today? Discuss, disagree, maybe even argue vehemently, but in the end each was entitled to their opinion and respected. May the world return to such a place! |

Well, then I guess I should be classified as a dirty farmer with pink toe shoes because I love the bus and the stance.  
Well done mate |

All good my friend.
This build has had to have many adjustments and compromises due to the obvious height issues whilst driving.
All photos are transitional, she is actually a lot cleaner looking now.
I’m sure that will change also at some point. |

The og poster also saved this view in the files, which personally I like a lot better. Cool bus, but still the O ring size front tire doesn't really work with the workhorse attitude of the bus. like a tough dirty farmer out in the fields, wearing pink toe shoes....

Thank you for your insight.

Yeah, crazy Gary. If you notice the white door on Dove Blue Bus in photo, that is the original paint '56 camper I sold Gary for $150 in '95. So funny, and I towed it to him over 100 mile trip.
Wonder where that Bus is now?

That one came from here in North Idaho a few years back. If you look close, you can see where the roof was once cut off back in the 90's.
