I know you aren't in the French section of LA, but perhaps since Party pickle is already taken Pickle de fête would be more appropriate?, or just Parté Pickle?
Looks great so far Paul!, I have no doubt that by the time it's finished it'll be another one of your epic yet tasteful builds.

Cool. Our original Party Pickle was built back in 2006 but was sold before much fun was to be had ... then Clyde came along and i put all my effort into him ....Now im starting over with the new Pickle... soon to be awesome. 👍

Why the repaint? That paint looks nice, my thought is just buff it.

Now that you're starting over get you a proper Bus header/muffler. Your pic shows a Monza style Beetle exhaust.

Aqquired a rear bumper , mounts and splash pans. They were very rusty and beat up .. had everything sandblasted and spent some hammer time... got it to a better condition but still needs more work in the middle ...🤗
