The most recent of work dragged into the shop is this 1957 european delivery standard. it is a pretty rough peice but there were some interesting plans hashed out over a few tasty beers.
when the bus was aquired by its owner, the nose had already been clipped and just tacked lightly into place.
as i started to rework the nose,remove and redo some things underneath, the owner and i started discussing some things and what the owner wanted as a dream bus.
while the nose was off and plenty of room to work, we decided to tackle even deaper and convert the bus to a walkthrough which is pretty uncommon for 50's models. why stop there?!! next up on the slab is a big hole in the roof ! thats right, a 57 european walkthrough sunroof standard. while some may see this as a hack, i see it as a badass bus. it is pretty rusty and i do my best at building these buses as close to originally manufactured as possible. my goal,to make things as undetectible as i can.so dont tell anybody!!
this will be a off and on project over a good period of time.cant wait to see it on the road.
