Thanks T. BTW we are booking work for next September already with my high school class.  I have samples on Mo's backyard of stuff I have done. Will be posting my Notch pics soon also. Basically you pay for retail on materials and small donation to my program. My bus was a scuff and spray done by my class. We can do nicer work if you got the bucks, or if you want to pay for labour I can do the work myself at home. I have a class Open house/ Show n Shine booked for Sat. June 12 th. Now that would be a cruise!! All are welcome

I'm in, just let me know when and where.  I should be off night shift by Monday or Tuesday so anytime after that should be great.

The bus looks sweet!  Hopefully mine will hit the spray booth soon too.  How much $$ for materials?

It really depends on what you want to do. I didn't do much a simple splash and dash with a cheap and nasty acrylic enamel. (Not even Base coat clear coat.) $400 plus Sandpaper. I could have used much better stuff. Just wanted to clean it up a bit. Turned out decent though.

Why yes it was.  I lost track of it for some 12+ years till it presented itself to me again.

WOW!  I was going to buy it at that time !  I had planed to drive it home to the coast.  I showed up with tools , gas can , battery,  some friends to help,  etc.   But found that the motor  had a huge clunk as we turned it over and gave up on it.  Good to see it in good hands.

Well by the time I acquired it there was no motor to \"Clunk\".  Just an empty engine bay.  I guess the clunk was serious......
