The ‘58 Hacienda Panel

Did some more dissecting today. Went a LOT easier at the beginning of the day due to the thinner metal. Ended up cutting that cone shaped piece off since it wasn’t needed. Then I started working up the side of the panel, which took a bit longer since the metal was thicker.Metal showed up today as well! 😁

Finished dissecting that panel today. Packed everything up in the bus since it’s being put on hold.

Getting some rolling gear under Mitch’s bus today.

It will roll on/off a trailer much easier than it did when it arrived.

We decided not to work together.

Maybe it will!!!🙏🙏 Just not at KCW. We all know what a sacrifice and commitment it takes to make a full build happen!!!!

I agree.. I think this bus is super cool!!!  Them LOGO’s!!!!  Bummer to see it go…

It needs a lot of work… Lots!!  This could be one of them bus’s that it takes more than one shop to get er done…. 😎  😎  😎

I think this project is a perfect example of 10% what happens to you, 90% how you react to it..   For the customer and Me… Either of us could have turned this project around and both decided not to…  Sorry Hacienda Panel..  Your the loser in the whole deal..  Kinda like a kid in a divorce.. 8-(

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎
