Just got linked to this thread from elsewhere and spent the last hour plus reading it from one end to the other.
Can't begin to tell you now impressed I am with your efforts. Gorgeous work on a really special vehicle.

Andre,
Great to meet you this weekend, and check out your bus(es).
It was a pleasure to crawl under and see the total lower body reconstruction, even if Lola couldn't keep her tongue off of me!
Amazing buses, great dogs, great time.
Thanks.

Yup.... agreed with all of the above. Bus is bad ass andre, and it was nice to meet you. Have to say you and your girl were both really cool. Its nice to meet someone off samba and have a good time, thanks for the beers and the laughs at redbarn that shit made the weekend.

it was great to finally meet you in person this weekend Andre. Your bus is a monster and you had the biggest grin on your face all day! I don't think the bus could have come out better, or gone to a better person. Let me know if you're ever coming over to Santa Cruz and we'll do our own rally! |

Andre put me on your treats from the beginning next time plse, readed non stop three hours to come here, f*ck man You did it! that was why I hardly heard from you last winter! Respect man! and I tell You how jealous I feel now, when I think I cruized down to Red Barn 2010 with you in your old Toyota truck!, many times I'm thinking I'm born too late, now I know I was one year too early...
Congratz again, I remember like yesterday when you had to weld your first rocker, now You became a real busmetalmeister!
succes and enjoy all future drives in Bob! You deserve them!

It would be cool to send some pics over to the previous owner to show what happened to the bus that was pulled from their yard. |
