You're going to graft in corner windows, too, right??? A small hatch 13-window would not look right to me...

How are you going to work on it without any tools in your garage?

Got to like those wheels tucked up so deeply. Looks tough! Get some 50 series 165 rubber on those rims and you are ready to rock  |

It looks weird to me to. I couldn't figure out why until you hit the nail on the head.
Is this thing going to be bagged?

I will start with the grafted in windows.
When I measured the distance between my factory side windows I came up with 4 1/8" between each one. If you look at a factory 13-15 window, the gap between the last 2 square windows is narrower, roughly 3 7/8"( that is not an exact measurement, I never got to check one for sure) That is because of the seem from the roof to beltline for the corner window section. Personally... I dont like corner windows so that was never a consideration. I wanted clean flowing lines on this bus, so I put my windows in at the 4 1/8" mark, eliminating the seam( Bottom seam to be welded up too) and lining the back edge of the window and the edge of the vents perfectly!!! Yes it does shorten the looks of the corner up but once it is all done it will be hard to catch.
The hatch... I dont know yet. I might try to hunt for a deluxe hatch, Might open up the small window into a deluxe size?
Suspension... I know it WONT be bagged. Static drop all the way.
It wont be as low as it is in those pics either... but it will be close.
RHD too!!!
Thats about it... Getting real close to ordering all my chassis tubing and mounts. So it will get real interesting soon!!!
