Thanks for all the nice words guys !
I will do my best to make this bus as nice as it deserves.
About the front panel patina, yes it's very nice !!
Unfortunately that's a later split window panel so it will need replacement...
I will use an original paint one from a 52, so very period correct. 
The one i was supposed to use on my samba but... i guess i will be able to find another one ? |
Good to hear that it'll be wearing OG paint panels.
Is the plan to try and leave as original as possible ? Preserve that patina ? |

Insane. That's gotta be the best extraction ever documented.

Awesome. It seems like you guys have never ending access to whatever it takes to extract a bus from the forest. I can't think of another vehicle where this would make sense to do. Looking forward to seeing this one on the road!
