| January 2008 I finally got the bus over to THE WAGEN |
| Kevin and George are going to get the rest of the metal work done. |
| Right away Kevin removed the old headlight buckets from the old front clip |
| Then Kev fit the old buckets to the new clip that was donated by E.I.S. He also shaved the "fried eggs" turn signals |
| Then the whole clip was removed with a plasma cutter to give Jim from Sand Freak access to install the cage work in and around the front end |
| These are the finished buckets. Kevin got them to fit great. |
| Kevin made the hump out of one piece of metal. Fits like a glove |
| Overall look is mucho beuno. Thanks to Kevin and George at THE WAGEN for their hard work. You da poo. |
| A day later and Kevin made the door fit with a couple of filler panels. Looks more barndoorish. With some barndoor taillights it will look good |
| A decision was made to make the back window smaller. The large back winow just looked wrong. I gave Kevin a donor door and he went to work |
| Chris getting metal shavings in his grill. It takes a real man to cut up vintage tin. All work performed at The Wagen |
| From inside you can see how Chris had to remove the fresh air box. Maybe I'll get a BEHR scoop from Gerson. |
| Chris worked his magic and made the metal bend over to the desired shape. The yellow pieces are donors from the old door. |
| Next was the removal of the fresh air vent overhang. Chris Clark came over to lend a hand. He had already done one. Hacker. |
| Rain gutter straight as an arrow. Body done for now. The bus gets moved next door to Sand Freak for the roll cage. End of January |
| Go ahead and contact The Wagen or Chris Clark to schedule your bus lobatamy. Don't be scared. "F" the purists. |
| Here's the finished product. Not too much filler needed to make it right. I think every bus needs this done to it. |
| At this point I'm pooing my pants cause it looks like it will never fit right. Get out the hammer, dolly, and welder. |
