My 1960 bus

[steveo_32]

Kinda flippin thru here and realized my 60 bus I have never talked about.

Here are some picts.

one 1960 11 window bus.



This is after I just got her, Sat for like 10 or 15 years in a lot under the Knight street bridge?







Since then, I have a 1776cc and some twin kadron carbs, I added a 68 ball joint front end with 71 and up disc brakes, with porsche drilled rotors up front, and am toying with IRS conversion in the rear.

Rebuilt all the side windows, added safari's, and redone the front bench, and added new seals all around.



I did the standard, h4 hella with some piaa's and changed all the gold trim to black, and touched up some area's.

added a little polish


I have treated all the doors and roof area's, and am just building a new wiring harness, and getting the doors re-keyed.
Hope to have her running the next month or two.

It must be nice to be you, so many choices... what's a guy to do..lol I'm a big fan of the Fuch's myself......that's my vote.......but the other's are pretty cool too...  

[empiracer]

With that paint scheme and louvers it sorta has a 80's feel to me, id say the Fuchs are for sure the most appropriate.

Looking good Steveo. I like the torker's.

[steveo_32]

torkers suck F$%ing nuts, they only fit drum applications NOT STATED ON THE CIP WEBSITE!
And of course i waited a year to use them soooooooo F%%%%^ holes.

Anyhow, crossdrilled and sloted rotors with wilwood callipers so no torq's

Right now its chrommies and snow tires

[steveo_32]

HAHAHAH POST 1501 B$TCHS

anyhow, Never wire your complete bus, and shrink wrap all yer wires and cover them with woven sheath and without testing your rear lights..............turn signal fried, fronts were working so I assumed the rear were.........all cut up again.........sucks ass.............




Hid's rock thou. and the 130w Vision x fogs are awsome.
