What if I want to smell like a dirty, oily Bus?
They are missing a huge market there! |
Are you wiling to spend every weekend covered in oil and grease?

Im not small - 6'5" and it may be scaled down for sure.

Anyone wants to take a guess as to what this is?

I guess it is a pad for pilgrims' feet blister? But again a not very adequated use of a split... It looks like a very common brand T1 drawing ( I am not going to make them free advertising).
Am I correct pyroman? How did you get this from the other side of the ocean?

Wrong guess! But not ready to reveal it yet! 
My wife just came back from 3 months hiking El Camino!

I suspect it's a safety cover for a specialised tool.

At first I thought some odd shaped guitar pick. But I’m willing to bet now that it’s a Jimmy / domer / rubber / prophylactic.
If your wife just came back after 3 months, best of luck even getting that thing on! |

Now I can't stop seeing the rocker trim, that was a perfect Bus.

I do remember that but on the non-slider side?
I'll have to look for the thread.
I'd be surprised if that was a slider since it's a 13-Window, most seems to be 21s

My big ass two days ago in the Ala Moana Mall - Honolulu Hawaii on vacation.
The bus is a complete replica made of fiberglass. Id love to get one of these and make a driver - not a "real" drive but a show and neighborhood golf cart kinda driver.

So verdict is in. This is a real bus. Driving, insured - whole deal. Yes, I'm that big apparently  One of the reasons Shrek bought a Bay instead of a Split. When I first blew by it, we were in shop mode. So I didn't pay much attention to it. We came by the mall again to hit up Barnes & Nobel for some flight reading, so I had another close look and spoke to the owner - who originally lived in Brazil.
I went around it and tapped on it with my fingers and it sounded like fiberglass - did the second time as well. I suspect a healthy smattering of bondo or mar-glass possibly? But its clean and straight.
I took some more shots for your entertainment.
