One of the most annoying things wrong with this bus was that someone had cut the rear cargo door hinges so that the door was only held on by the door spears.
Had to burn the screws out and smack the other hinge pins out. Welded in a new nut plate and painted the hinges. Good as new once it’s hung tomorrow!
Yup! We knocked it out and left a wake of destruction behind us in the shop! New brakes, soft lines, trans mounts, cleaned out the gas tank, hogged out the bell housing, changed the axle boots, fluids, and stabbed the motor in. We got lucky and only had a few hang-ups, but it was a whole weeks worth of 3am nights and 7am mornings. KCW has really become a 24/7 shop with us working late overlapping with Pat coming in early. Pretty fun.
Thank you John, Gretchen, Franz, Pat, Cole, Zack, and Wes!! Really couldn’t have done it without you all.
You 2 are a cute couple. Can’t wait 2 see the babies y’all make.
Good thing this rig can haul at least 3 kids with the middle seat that y’all scored.
Anyone want to let go of an OG rear seat to set this rig up as fully functional family hauler?
We will build it if it comes.
I got another call yesterday from the guy who wants to buy this rig from Willy… 😎 He offered DAMN good money too….. 😎 I feel for Willy on this decision.. If he sells it…. we will be calling him Flipper Willy…. If he doesn’t sell it, we will all tell him how dumb he is…. it s real catch 22 for ya Willy!!!!
Guy wants to lower it, polish it, all new mechanicals, all new interior, and a set of RDW’s on it…. Sounds awesome to me… 😎
