Cool, I have never seen a candy-apple green bus before. Throw some gold 100-spoke wheels on there, and a gold licencse plate frame. Make sure the license plate says "LOCO".

Very, very nice Dave! Is that OEM sage green?

Were you able to match up your pinstripes exact?

How are the jalousies going?
Going to check on my rig today - hopefully it'll look half as good as yours does. Enjoy! Smile

BTW, where are you getting your pinstripping from? Is the body shop getting it and putting it on for you? Sorry for all the questions.

Definitely not easy being that green...
looks great, though...it's always nice to be reminded every now and then that busses can be shiny...
