Its whats left of a roof rack not much to work with. We spent some time today with Mark L going over the bus its pretty solid its going to need some parts but it has a wonderful headliner and all the origional seats are in very good shape. The glass is origional and it appears to have never been removed this one is going to be fun to freshen up.

Nice. I remember seeing that one up for sale. Glad to see that it found a good home.
