Just wondering what folks would think of a small tour bus...sorta like this:

 

[Tin Medic]

I'm thinking, NO.

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Looks good to me as long as you do all the interior wood in a natural finish.

The good thing is that it keeps the capability of serving THREE ice cream customers at one time.

Zout just left here with a camera full of pics and a stomach full of CC's Diner lunch. He was moving kinda slow when he left here but I suspect the only holdup on this project will be us getting the engine etc., out of the truck and up to his AO.

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Better not take too long or he will hit you with his fearsome WARP ray!!!

 

[zout]

YES - indeed a very fine outstanding day with PB - babybear and Carl once again - I have a breath of real life once again.

Now that I saw it - examined it and PB discussing with me of what he wants all I can say is GAME ON.

When it comes time to work on this after delivery - there will be no explanations of process - only pics of what is getting worked on and after results.

I'm still trying to figure out what that ball hitch is doing mounted on the forward wall of the box!!!opcorn:

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Great photos. Must be Deb's camera. I see the cab roof still has the radar jamming rabbit ears. Also, it is hard to believe how good those tires looks after all these years. One last thing. You may want to save that piece of carpet in the cargo area, clean it up and put it in front of PB's desk. It would be the gift that keeps on giving.

I think you hang the front tow bar there when it is hot attached to the front bumper. opcorn:

I thought you were going to blast and paint the wheels before the new tires went on? Am I to assume that they were in good shape inside? Hard to believe considering how that one front tire looked.

I didn't actually see the tire surface of the rims but the GM of Columbus Tire assured me there was no need to blast them.shrugs. He fully understands if there is a problem he may be terminated with extreme prejudice.

 

[Tin Medic]

You still should have shown them a little love with a coat of paint.

 

[Tin Medic]

Since the body is solid does that mean you aren't going to paint it either??

Yes Grasshopper! The patina is so good I just want to apply the "wax on -wax off" treatment.

 

[Tin Medic]

The tire shop just wanted it out of there. Potential customers were seeing your rig and thinking that was a 3rd rate shop and took their business elsewhere.
