The bus looks great Will, wish I could see it!! I have spent lots of weekends with the rattle can too. In the process of getting it smoother and going with a little polish to save the finish.williamblanda wrote:
Finished up the bus in between all the thunderstorms today. Gotta say... I love Krylon!
Tomorrow I'll hop back out and touch up any spots that aren't fully covered. Hopefully the bat doesn't crap on it tonight.
Maybe the horns will put a hex on the bats!!
Keep working at it and it gets done!!

That could almost pass for a vintage pic if it wasn't for that WWW box. Nice pic will.

Re: 1963 Panel/Camper
Took the bus for its first drive today. Started right up after quite a long wait and ran like a champ. gave it a once over to check if everything still worked and it cheerfully went around the Eddy and briefly into Pennsylvania.
A little dirty, but everything else is as I left it. Not bad for sleeping a good 8 months! Time to add another couple hundred miles some campin' before it retires again...
Have to fill up that chicken coop soon as well.

Bus looks great after a long winter's nap. Your pics tell a good story. Have fun tooling around!

Passed that nice red barn on the north side of 17 up by you as I was headed home from Bing. It reminded me of yours!!williamblanda wrote:
