Post by: Scratchy on February 22, 2005, 08:59:16 PM: NICE!!! :rockon:

I was always partial to the 2 tone blue, even as a kid.
They just looked and felt 'right'.

You make it look so easy to do too!

Post by: Matt on February 22, 2005, 09:32:39 PM: Damn! I forgot how rough it looked when you bought it. I'm still partial to the drunken freehand pinstripe flames on the doors though :lol:

Post by: busnerd on February 22, 2005, 11:34:09 PM: I'm going to re-enstate to flames on the doors of I can get a rat bus together for the summer. I think flat black with red pinstripe flames would look killer.
Matt, your flames were well recieved by my friends, they were all pissed when I removed them.

Post by: busnerd on February 23, 2005, 10:36:23 PM: I'm not much of a carpenter, but this is as far as I have gotten with the interior and headliner. I'm just recovering some '70's westy interior now but hopefuly someday find an interior out of a sundial or e-z-camper (good luck), or try to reproduce one myself.

Post by: Aircooled Angel on February 24, 2005, 05:22:34 PM: Clark are those the door panels from that chick down in Washington? I gotta get some for the 58...

Post by: busnerd on February 24, 2005, 06:10:39 PM: The front door panels and kick panels are from wolfsburg west. I think I know the woman you are speaking about though. Is she the one at the spring meet selling the panels? Her's look exactly the same and are less money. The rear panels and headliner is made from \"door skin\" that I bought from Revy.
