Wow! You're moving a lighting speed with this one. All I can say is that it looks great. At your pace the bus will probably on the ground cruising the streets before I wake up tomorrow morning!

OK I finally got her sitting on the wheels. I will be bringing her down a little more.
Last things to do is blend the paint install the windows, engine and then she is rolling.
I did make my goal and I do believe I will make winter jam. Hell I might make volksblast.

Let me know what you think.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

The next pictures you will see is with her complete.

Thanks

OK so here is what we have been up to sense the last photos. As you seen from the last photos she was on here wheels but still needed a good buff and a nice blend. I wanted to keep it as OG as I could and I think I did a pretty good job.
Check it out as I blended the paint and buffed her out.

Here is the the drivers window repair with the paint.

Passenger side window painted.

As you can see in this photo the drivers side had a big primer spot for the PO so the nice shinny paint is my blend.

Ok well here she is all buffed out blended in and dressed up for the ball.

I restored the OG windows and painted the safari window to match.

Her she is ready to ride out. Not only did we make it for winter jam but we will be at volksblast as well.

Here is a good shoot of that drivers door blend. Just what I wanted.

I will do the rocker in the near future.

There are just a couple little things to do like a back bumper that I will have on tomorrow, Has for the door windows I'm in the middle on restoring them.

I will post up some pictures once she is 100%.

Thanks for all the feed back.

Kenny Thanks for all your help.
