I've honestly always liked the early (68-71) baywindow buses. This weekend I was able to finally get one. These are not good pictures, so I'll take more this week. It doesn't have an engine, but that's ok, I have one of those.

The bus has already been lowered, front and back. It's actually very straight with only one area rusted through (driver's floor board.) The bus is gutted, but I will be putting it back together slowly. It's a daytripper camper, but I'm not putting the camper stuff back in it. I'm on the lookout for a rear and middle seat. You can see all the camper interior next to the bus.

again, I'm going to put this beast together, I just want a driver, I don't need a restored vehicle. So hopefully, I'll be able to update this thread often.

More to come shortly...

Cool Bo!
I didn't have much of a chance to mess with your motor tonight, but it still won't turn over. I may just start taking it apart and deal with what ever's stuck when I get to it...

That would be great, thanks Brian. If it's in your way, I could always come get it.
