I don’t want my truck to be the cause of prolonged pain, at least any more pain than it has been already 😉

Wow!  You’re back!  Hope all is well with your healing.  Don’t overdo it (says probably everyone).

👍 I was concerned, having not seen them in person. I’m glad to have your initial approval.

Thanks for the confirmation Pat!

The box coming today will be a big, ugly box that looks like my kindergartener put together (it was me).  Inside will be the almost new WW gas tank and 2 smaller boxes, one with the speedo (recently reconditioned) and one with misc parts (mostly related to the gas tank).

The tires should arrive tomorrow and I have a large box with the gas tank and speedometer coming on Thursday.

Looks awesome!  Thank you for posting these pictures!!!  For the first time since this started, my wife said “now I get it”.  She needed to see the contrast of the white emblem on the bus.

Wow!  I’m definitely lucky to have this bus at KCW.

I see the emblem in that pic with the gas cover, just making sure that will be painted to match the bumpers & wheels (Stock white, silver white???).

Tires are on their way.  For the spare, leave the best of the old tires on the fifth rim.

Oh damn!  It’s starting to look like a truck again!   It’s looking amazing!

Elephant ears are for late busses…. Yes, you have two… But I painted two stock arms, one left, one right, in anticipation of stock, early small round mirrors But the choice is yours… Your seams looks awesome!!!!!

That’s so awesome! Put the ears in a box!  KCW is one step ahead.  In 30 years, when my kids wanna drop it and put Fuchs on the bus, they’ll have their choice of mirrors 😛

Those gates look awesome!  I don’t think I’ve ever seen seamed gates where the seam is that visible.  It’s usually buried under filler and multiple resprays.

The beauty of working on a DC or SC is you have a built-in workbench to spread out your parts. 😎

It’s hard to tell from the last picture, but are there 2 different style mirror arms or am I looking at something else???  The mirrors arms should be the same.  I had new, repop WCM “elephant ears” on the bus.
