Wheelwell flares

[IWC Bus]

Hey Everyone,

I want to know for everyone, are the rubber around the wheelwells neccessary? I just encountered that they are perfectly round and there's a steel plate across the wheelwell to Square it Off.

No, they aren't absolutely needed, but they do help keep some road splash off your ride. Are yours tore-up?

Is that your bus? You got some rust issues. Please don't invest too much into something that is going to make you cry later. Too many good Texas buses out there.

No that's not my bus but I want to get a picture so it was no confusion about the inside or outside of the bus.
I do have some spots that need some attention and I'm not going to invest a whole lot of money into this only because this is my first attempt a converting a school bus but I see it is a whole lot of fun.

Whew! carry on.

Tell your wife I deleted my big ugly blinkers on the front, filled the holes. Lady has a good eye.

Welded the screw holes, welded the big hole. Will drill for new location for LED.



dark spot is me- shadow.

Well you know that saying Rusty what a woman wants, a woman gets. She couldn't wait until I figured out what to do so we eliminated those big giant eyeballs as she referred to them. Relocated the signal lights down to the front/ side amber lights. I will fill the holes and paint later this week. So right now the front of our Bluebird All-American rear engine bus has all LED lights excluding the headlamps. The headlamps will be changed out to LEDs as soon as I can find something that fits for the low beam high beam. We are presently waiting for the LED lights (stop, reverse and turn signal they have been changed from Bluebird type style to European type Square lights) for the back to come in and that will make everything except for the headlights LED lights even the side markers.
