| Nice Kevin! Gonna look super sweet with all the panels on it! This is the sweetest custom bus I have seen in years.. True custom, not just bolt on stuff like we usually do.. This is gonna be a crowd pleaser! |
That's what it's about folks! admiring someone else's enthusiasm, creativity, and ability.
A guy who builds great stuff telling another guy that he's doing just as well.
Thats great!

When that triple is rocking the uber-short side gates, it will roll with a sickness.

Now; What did the steering wheel come from?
1 giant Binz style suicide door?

Thanks everybody...
John, give yourself more credit..You take cars that most would say are too far gone, and bring them to life and put em back on the road, and you do it at saltflat speed..Props to KCW and what they do...
Ronnie, the wheel is from a 38 Chevy...No adapters needed..The Chevy wheel has a woodruff key just like bus, but also has splines like type 1..I reamed out the splines, and it slid right on....Snug as hell, and only $9 on ebay...Might hate the wheel, but can't hate the price..  |

That's real cool and funcional at that. I must say I had my doubts at first but seeing it actually come together in a professional manner makes it much more appealing.
What's the plan for rear seating, or is it going to remain cargo only?
C-130 style fold down jump seats might look real cool...
Keep up the good work. |

I was thinking about a rear cargo seat, but I think I will leave it commercial for now..Thanks for the props..All though I must say, there is not much professional about this....It's been rushed from day 1 since I set a goal of the Classic, and it shows in the details..I'm sure everyone will let me know after the Classic too.. ..It's a 10 footer..but it's also a driver, and gonna be my daily driver at that, so I'm just gonna fuck it up even more.. |

Need to two-tone those bumpers. I think it needs the contrast.
