Here's "Booger" one of my projects for this winter. Whoever did the stripes did a good job. Too bad the paint is $hit.

Oops forgot the picture. Embarassed

I love Booger; the stripes are amazing!
Skid might take exception that you "borrowed" the Booger monicker though. Please find a way to save those stripes.

I guess it depends on how far I take the restoration. I might just repaint the nose and roof before I sell it.

Is "Booger" taken already? I'm not married to the name. It just popped into my head the other day. It kind of fits, though. Don't you think?

As far as I'm concerned it's okay. Names aren't a GUID. That's the VIN. Your VIN is different to the other bus named Booger so it is considered a different entity.

I keep thinking of mine as "Moby" recently for a couple of reasons Laughing

I think every green bus should affectionately be called Booger.

You could always call it Snot, or even Phlegm.

I was going to put this in bays on the way but it's more fitting for this thread.

Anyway I see this everyday going to/from work.

It's been sitting for awhile and is apparently not for sale. Too bad, it's a nice looking bus.

Put some stripes on my '73 yesterday. Just wanted to change it up.

Plan to add a brown on top of these also, but didn't make it that far.

A little less white, and matches the yellow cloth interior excellent!
