DyHow, Just a qwik update on da bus: I;ve done some more vinyl'ing on the upper parts, like around the rest of the windows and the back hatch. I also did the hardboard pieces above the driver and passenger's skulls. I got a new mirror, NOS, from WW for the passenger side. Turn signals stopped working. Looks like relay is finally kaput :( Right side taillight needs internal work. Inside bulb spring/contacts very week, won't wold bulb firm enuf. Really need a new one :( :( (bubble taillight) Installed wiper motor and wipers, and did related wiring. Did a test fit of new back bumper and brackets. BTW - I think this may be a pickup bumper, but I'm not sure how to tell the diff. This bumper needs a lot of straightening, tho! Bought a set of 3 body hammers and 4 dollies for $10. I'll prolly break the hammers (Chinese) but the dollies were a good deal. Acid dipped the new bumper brackets and splash guards and painted them. Painted the back and "tire area" of six wheels, of which the best 5 will go on the bus with new tires. Bought 4 14" bus wheels, with good tires, only to realise that they were 14" and not 15" These are for sale now. Don't know why I bought them in the first place -) Maybe tomorrow I'll put the real paint on the wheels... Thom -- > Reality: an escape for people who can't handle drugs.
