Color=L512 Velvet Green…sooo smooth!!!

 

Riley did some grinding Friday.

I fabed and burned in a closing panel for the rear tophat, then fit and burned in the tophat. 

We will build it if it comes.

Cable tubes so far today. All tubes bent and fit. All but the heater cable tubes are burned in, those will be burned in when the cab pedestal goes in. 

 

We will build it if it comes.

Screw it. Lets do 1980’s graphics or scallops. Rossi head lights no less. I used to own this one years ago. Built by a guy in Colorado

 

This was my favourite bus ever when I was a kid, I sketched it all the time.

Decided to start on the pass dogleg. Fit and burned in the the outer section. 

Fit and prepped the inner.

Ready to burn it in.

We will build it if it comes.

The further that this build progresses, the more I get the feeling that this could turn out to be the greatest shorty in history.

Pat and Riley are making some steady progress. It is exciting to watch your build happen. I highly recommend having your VW done by this crew.

Riley joined in on the fun. More grinding!

Fit and burned in the driver side outer. Inner fit and prepped for welding.

It’s starting to finally look like a truck again.
Hey Pat, before you get that front floor in could you please raise the steering box.
