Would like all to have all the rot replaced and paint blended into the patina. I called Nate at Wagenswest and he is not sure if he has the time to take it on. He was definitely out at first but then he saw pictures of the bus and said he would think about it over the weekend :-)

Request for your opinions or ideas:
1. Does anyone have anyone else they would recommend for this type work?

2. OG or lowered? (I prefer lowered but not sure that is the right idea with a bus this complete and matching)

3. If not OG what do you thing about these wheels?

Rust! Just FYI, the German translation for Mango is.... Mango :beer:

I say leave the wheels for the Porsche's after all you wouldn't want your bus to have a personality conflict

Wagenswest is too swamped to do the metal work and patina blend. Bummer

That sucks. You have a back up plan?
