Ok, I was going to do up a weblog, but, felt lazy, so here it is!

The BD as I got it..

After a nice score, and some work (the bumper isn't mounted, just 'set').

Now without the huge front bumper, those turn signals look like a chick with those "torpedo tits". The turn signals have to go. Let us 55 and up guys have our fame with the bullets.

High Prarie, AB. It was sold ten years ago for $600 + NOS parts. Now this year I bought it for 10x that price.

There's another bus, it's twin I guess with VIN #'s a few apart. Same freaky little windows and everything. It's owned by a local bus nut (he has a semaphored 23 window, 2 (!) barndoors).

I think there's about 4 BD's (that I know of) in this little province (er, bigger than Texas).

Got pics of yours? Smile I am dying to see anything on it!

I cant belive that was a parts bus, It s more solid looking than buckets that cruize the streets here. I am glad someone is doing it justice.

Skim what exactly are the plans for the BD? can you share the details or is it hush hush? Form seeing some of your other rides posted here, I can safely guess this one is gonna have a mean stance as well yes?
