Well, I did the Bakery Bus in 6 months by myself once I really got started on it. Every time I got through the bondo and found rust rot I would just cut it out, make new metal and weld it in. It just takes a lot of dedication and a lot of 12 hour days. You will get there and have a great piece of German metal when you get through. chuck blue <sukchew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: .hmmessage P { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px } BODY.hmmessage { FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma } You and your posse would not have it on the Road by now.While waiting for the transaxle to be remanufactured.I decided to go ahead and start stripping off the many layers of paint and stuff.The transaxle is back in but I am still stripping.The farther I go the worse it is.I'll be lucky to have this piece of shit Kombi on the road by t@p. Neil is planning on coming out and help me sand,Just to get down to the rust is a major job.After that I'll have to remake all of the lower panels.Bluebus should probably be renamed to Bondobus.That would be more fitting. ----- Original Message ----- From: Denis Dodson To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 2:54 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Bluebus can fit more fireworks than Freedom Are you saying that, with all the time you have had that, BlueBus is not going to make it to Psycoblooie? Jeez! More evidence that I should have kept it. I'd have it on the road by now. I probably would have driven it to Florida and back by now. ----- Original Message ----- From: chuck blue To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 1:18 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Bluebus can fit more fireworks than Freedom Bluebus is still in the shop and will be for awhile.Bluebus is bare.As soon as I see the fireworks pile I will probably yell for Haulers. ----- Original Message ----- From: j duncan To: .TCP Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 12:06 PM Subject: [tcb] Bluebus can fit more fireworks than Freedom Bangahooie! --------------------------------- Now you can invite friends from Facebook and other groups to join you on Windows Live?
