Hi! I am wondering if you got your roof shipped to you yet? I am looking forward to seeing pictures in the future of the new roof section and how it can be welded on. You do beautiful workmanship! Roger

This is incredible work, please keep sending the updates. It really inspires me to get working on my bus and I feel fortunate to not have all that much to deal with in comparison.

Hey, when you get your Bus done, jump on a plane and come to Florida. I sure could use your expertise with my Bus.

finally, good news:

My roof will be in Rotterdam within 2 weeks, after almost 7 months waiting, what a hell Sad

Last week, I took care of my side panels:
I made this stamp-construction to glue my side panels as straight as possible (the construction isn't finished yet, I still have to assemble the upper & lower bar)
