Widefive finished my spindles and i got the bus back on the road! Next its time to do the interior. I'll work on rust as i go. Probably the best i've felt yet putting a old bus back on the road.

I painted the window frame. After the donor roof was welded in and the and all the welding work up the pillars, i kinda had to. It's a tad to bright, but after i wet sand it and it gets dirty a few times, it'll match up. I used no filler. Just filler primer. Theres dents, dings and scratches all over. Its more suiting to have them in the frame too lol.

Started in on the passenger side lower windshield repair. Got it all cut out.

Then using 20g sheet steel and a 12" ruler i cut strips out 12"x1" basically i laid the ruler on the steel and used it as a templet.

Then i took the pieces and clamped them in my vise leaving 3/8" out the top. I used a hammed and smacked them flat creating a 90 degree bend.

Heres what it looked like when i was done.

Then with a cut off wheel i made slices in the leg and formed the radius. I pre-formed it and then welded the slices solid and sanded them off. I ran out of time today to finish it. All of it has new steel now. Ill weld it out and post pics tomorrow.
