Moving right along. Thanks for the update. Glad to hear it's heading for a NWMF debut.

If it's running and you're not too far away, I'd love to see that thing show up at the NW Overland Rally in Leavenworth WA on July 26th.

Very cool bus.

I'd love to take it, but it's not ready to drive, and that's a bit too far away for me. Thanks for the heads up though, sounds like a fun event!

I've almost finished the paint, and I purchased to rest of the skin to finish the rear door. Diesel tank is back in after being cleaned. Pics soon!

[rbgerrish]

Pretty much done! (Well, as done as it'll be for Mogfest)

[tip]

forgive me if I missed it, but are you rattle canning or actually spraying that OD?

looks great!

Thanks!

I rattle canned the whole thing with Kylon OD and Krylon Flat Black. Easy, and I can change it around whenever I like.

I also just picked up a free RV A/C unit this morning.

This thing is so cool, can't wait to see what you come up with for the interior.

You know, there was one of these that was more of a cutaway chassis with a european looking camper on the back around a year or so ago in the local pick-a-part yard, I had no idea what it was at the time, but now that a couple of these style trucks have been popping up on here, I wish I had taken a closer look/photos!
