Very cool bus. Love the color/story. I need over riders now. Tall vs short? Was that an option difference, or front/rear, or?

I went after the tall ones for the front because you dont see them. The short ones are around all day long.

I'm sure the original owner, if still alive, would be very happy this Bus has found such a nice home.

So Im getting ready to roll on some BF Goodrich AT's like my man Kirk here. Discount can get them and mount them at $156 a tire. Not bad as I was seein them on the net as cheap as $138-before any ship or mounting.

I have Vanagon rims I snatched up for $25 for all four Wink Im going to do the satin black look, no hub caps and maybe some chrome lug nuts.

Am I missing anything here? Once the leg is good-fingers crossed for the 11th yall-thats the Dr apt to see. I was going to treat myself and get this done. Maybe swing by a Dairy Queen or Sonic for Kirk Laughing

You do just fine diggin your own hole Wink

I cant have a awning because its restricted by the home owners association. The garage here at the g-friens home is to small and the drive way is inclined. Ill fix it when the rain clears. If it wernt rainin it would of been done.

I have 1800 sf of heated space to play in. I was to of been helping on it but due to my leg state didnt. I now need to help get the benches in and the 7x7 rolling work station finished. Im set bro. If anything I need to get you over here to help with the garage Wink
