Saw on the lastest episode of Bitchin' Rides the new bus build by Kindigit designs. The cleanest 1953 Barndoor 23 window bus i've ever seen after being dipped. It did need some minor repair but wow, was it in great shape. This guy must have some pull to find something like this in a couple of weeks. Anybody know this bus or where it might of come from? I'd say he had to pay north of $100K for this bus in it's current condition. Will be amazing when done.

Spoiler alert, don't look at any pictures of the latest SEMA convention. The bus is done, with a matching hebmuller, both on fancy new beetle rims and with automatic transmissions to match.
Money can find all kinds of desirable cars, but it takes more than just money to buy some of the more special ones. Thankfully the tastes of the most moneyed people keep them away from the best cars. _________________ .

Well put Lind. I guess the automatic transmissions open these up for "Bitchen" new VW buyers. |

Had already had a new KlassicFab:
Front panel
Shortside
Longside
Cargo floor

It had a TON of plastic in it, although it was extremely solid. I stripped it down, and found out it had so much that the panels were overworked so we replaced the nose, long and short panel, front cargo door and floors with KlassicFab-All done very correctly.

I wonder if they put in a rear seat heater log and fixed the seat mounts/plates so they are Barndoor style? |
I think the baywindow style exterior trim is a dead giveaway! |
