Jesse has been down here working on his panel van… 58 Double Door panel.. with a pre cut bulkhead, which means flip seat or swivel seat conversion…  He’s working on getting the floor out right now.. I mean RIGHT NOWW

a few pics and a place for him to post up at!!!!

He also has a 58 ragtop he is badly neglecting …

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

Sweet!!! Let me see how much $$$ my customer for his subi swap wants for his old air cooled engine. It runs good, that’s all I can promise. It’s complete out and from a bus. Shit it was the white bay camper when you were here.

I have been having fun,learning and gettin  some progress on my panel. Super cool bus. I am dreaming all day everyday about how sweet it is going to be someday. Not really in a hurry just wanna build a solid patina panel. I also got the metal for the rear wheel hack so it will be all OG besides the damm little camper windows and the bulkhead hackjob. I NEED A FLIP SEAT IF ANYBODY HAS ONE FOR SALE!!

I think swivels rock….  cheap to make yourself… time consuming though….

I think it’s going to be swivel seats. I wanna walk through. Yo Andy what’s the price on that vw motor. I have been thinking about it lately. I can’t decide to take out the camper windows someone cut in in the doors and weld them up or keep em. I wanna weld them up. Franz says keep them I wanna take out and weld them up. I want my body to look stock on the outside. Whatcha think guys? Still trying to post pics but I haven’t figured it out yet

X3.

Family of three. Someone is riding in the back.  Bet an open window would feel good back there.

We will build it if it comes.

If it were mine I’d keep the windows, probably as pop-outs rather than the jalouse (sp?) too.

Panel buses suck. Its like a dungeon in the back. Great for hiding junk. Bad for a camper.

You bus is already hacked. Embrace it. Maybe get some different style windows?

Bubba has these for sale on samba. They would look good on your bus.

Ya don’t put it back to panel status! We loaded a middle seat into the barndoor for the Seattle trip…wasn’t much fun sitting back there for any period of time??
