Here are my rides, some I still have; most are long gone.

this is my 1st vehicle when I was 17

my 2nd bus, the 1st motor I built, put lots of miles on this one. Lives in prince george now.

and after I painted it

bought this one as a project for $300

this was my first paint job, the bus above was my 2nd. Don't know were this bug ended up, I think the guy I sold it to wrecked it shortly after.

bought this bus and only had it for a while, untill i bought matt's 64 bus

bought matt's '64

fixed it up

got this for a trip to california, great for living in

this was a driver for a while, bought it for $700

had this 78 a few years ago, was an experiment to see if I could make a buck

it worked

and finally my 78 bus that i still have (when I got it)

and now

I nearly bought that 64 bus. Matt bought it off Ted.You did a really nice job on that. Buses are a large vehicle to tackle. Nice!

Geez Clarke, I forgot just how ugly that 64 was, glad it went to a good home.

hey matt and steiner, can you give me more info on my '64? Who is Ted? I'm curious how matt got it and any sort of history you guys know about it. Anything at all would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

I bought it from Ted when he lived in Delta. that's all the history I have on the car, I made it run and stop, drove it then sold it. From there it's all you.

is ted a guy on the board here? do you know if it had been sitting for a long time?

I am not sure where Ted got it from. If I talk to him I'll ask him!
