Thanks everyone, I think it turned out better than expected.

Took a week off to sand it down [after Thanksgiving]. Got up with the sun, had to wait until the dew dried then sanded until it got to dark to see. Took ME over 50 hours, 5 days....felt like I sanded an apartment building, kicked the crap out of me....arms, shoulders and elbows are defiantly feelin' it.
Cost me $355. for the ICI paint, pretty cheap paint job.

Hey what's new paint without some stickers/decals!






....was thinkin' maybe a couple of small ones where the chrome badges were...

[EastCoastCB]

Redd's decals are second to none!
Thanks again, man!!!

[REDD]

No sweat CB, thank you.

[REDD]

Was toyin' with this idea....
If I make these 10", to fit in between the rub rails they'd be six and a half feet long. Still might be a bit short for a bus this long?
Not real happy with the back of the head where the flames join....think it needs a little more mane or something....back to the drawing board.

Well winter showed up and shut me down for workin' outside, got this done in late fall. These mud flaps were removed from 20 new trailers the company bought [company put their own on] they were throwing them out or cuttin' them up into 6x12" pieces for rubber mounting license plates. They seamed to fit the theme, hunters here call Moose swamp mules and Manac is Can-am backwards [my ATV].

[EastCoastCB]

off topic for sure, but every time I see your bus name I think of this scene from one of my favorite old movies.

I always picture you as the man with no name, man.

Wasn't allowed to work on the bus while in storage so we puttered around in the garage with beer and crazy ideas. Waiting for the pieces to come back from being powder coated

[REDD]

Got this out of an old service truck they're scrapin'. It's missing the remote and I'm not even sure if it works [lots of coffee spillage on it].

[REDD]

Well this sucks, got an "error 524" and it wont let me up load pics.

[REDD]

well this sucks, "error 524" won't let me add any more pics.

[EastCoastCB]

Chain wheel is TOTALLY boss!! WHOA!

[REDD]

Got a "Error 524" and wouldn't let me load any more pics.
Got the stock wheel out of an old wreck, thought I'd have some fun...still have the original just in case. Pretty chilly in the winter....hey kid I dare ya to stick your tongue on it.

...at the painter.

[REDD]

This would the start of the booth and couch.








Got this drink/storage/crap holder for the passenger side, out of an old Pete...may or may not use.

[REDD]

Well this was Friday when I picked 'er up, not a bad day.




This is today....bit of a bummer.

Hey Cowlitz, here's a better pic of my roof without a hatch. The three sisters to this bus don't have hatches either. They scraped all three last week, no one wanted them.
