Damn y’all. Keep up the good work
Back at it.
Finished nut plate repairs yesterday and knocked out some grinding on the bottom side.
JJ finished welding/grinding belly pans.
Going to finish metal work on roof and get it body worked.
We will build it if it comes.
Kickin ass and takin names… 😎 Knocking this rig out like it’s kids play!
Luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.👊
Lenny has retired. He sold the website and phone number to Morrie who is located in Oregon. I have been to their shop and like Morrie. Lenny’s crew did not make the move. Clara and I have been making microbus panel sets for years. She does not advertise much. The two of us are always busy. Occasionally I post on Instagram. If the owner wants a quote for the part we make or to place an order encourage him to email me at campingbox@yahoo.com – message me through Instagram (westfalia_campingbox) or give me a call (phone number is listed on any of my samba ads). If he wants to avoid holding you up I’d suggest he reach out today. I make this stuff to order. I can put him in touch with Deutsch Polster regarding the covers. Corey often stocks the covers. Since you are fairly familiar with the WCCR products and the TMI (WW) products I know you will be happy with our quality and with the Deutsch Polster covers. We are both a little more expensive than the other options but the quality is there.
Well there we go!!! Someone call Greg please,,, 😎

I keep hearing this bus is headed to SLC after paint. So I guess the interior does not concern me… 😎 😎 😎 Never mind… 😎 😎 😎

Good day in the dirty shop yesterday!!
Blocked out the driver door and it’s smooth and ready for poly 👍🏻
Did some metal work on the apron and the front cargo door after JJ finished putting the new metal in plus finding and fixing the nut-plate for the cargo door strap 👌🏻Body worked both of those too, just need to block them both out 👍🏻Removables are almost done!! Just waiting on that new door to come in 👍🏻Belly pans preped and installed yesterday by the guys too👌🏻
Finished metal work on the roof and 95% of the body work. Skim coat and detail sand and it’s ready for primer.
JJ is finishing up the last of the metal work and AJ had moved onto body working the shell.
We will build it if it comes.
Kicking ass!
I’ve been working on the back corners since yesterday.. lots of Bus accupuncture needed on the passenger side, driver side looked pretty good 👍🏻 Lots of bondo filling rather than dent pulling happened previously… so we’re fixing that when we run into itTeam Kendall were on the driver side this morning and now rileys on the passenger dogleg – this bus will be all body worked before we know it!
Riley and I finished body working the roof yesterday morning. Riley than locked out driver side dog leg bodywork, and got a good start on the pass side.
I started working the long side. Found a large bump on the lower rocker. When Metal Work was done elsewhere the rear most long side support was replaced and installed a quarter inch low.
Cut a section of the rocker out. Trimmed the support back and sectioned in a new donor piece.
Stripped off some more body filler to find a large dent just above the repair section that need some pin work.
Good to go. Back to where I thought I was yesterday morning.
We will build it if it comes.
Riley and I have been at it for a couple hours now.
He’s just about finished with the pass dogleg.
I blocked the long side out in 36grit yesterday. Working it down with 80 grit on the block now.
We will build it if it comes.
Nice bump! Who thought that shit would fly, and what’s that seam sealer shit covering on the support?
Nice work KCW! Not so much for the previous guy.
Were just doing what we do…. From my observations… the last shop or guy, hadn’t done many busses… 😎 😎 We have done more than most.. 😎 and yeah, we have pics to prove it… 😎 😎 No, we are not the best at any one part… but the most important part…. Getting it done… 😎 😎
Well…Shit is looking good… We have two more panels to work… short side and nose… We should have those done in the next two days… and start on poly!!
Safari’s??? anything else we might need to add or do before paint???
Cole?? You getting on that headliner??? You still handling this??
Pics of poly soon!!! 😎
