Well, I have been watching the posts for about a week now and thought I'd get in the action and throw in my two cents. I am deep in the middle of bringing back to life my `70 bus (used to be a westy but I hated the fiberglass top)(I will probably get flamed for gutting the westy stuff off of it..) :) But intentions are to install a slide rag in the hole where the camper top used to be. I finally finshed all the body work today and got to primer it. It is such a feeling when all the work I put into the body is done and it no longer looks like a huge pile of, well, we all know what kind of pile they look like when they are in that stage.. :) Now it's all one solid color. A pukey yellow color, but that's the etching primer. I do have a question though.. The slide mechanism at the rear of the door. I was wondering how hard it was to get it apart, and most importantly, how hard it is to get back together? I would like to dismantle it and do some preventive maintanance on it but I don't want to take it apart if it's tooo much of a hassle to get back together.
