1964 Split window bus build.
Posted: Sep Wed 07, 2011 5:13 pm
For those who didnt get a "look at what we finally found text", we acquired a split bus this weekend after
more than five years on the hunt. We followed countless leads to bay windows, and splits that seemed unatainable. Finally a gentleman walks into the dealer on saturday and get to talkin with him, come to find he had one, he thought he had two, but one was a bay. Drove out and secured the deal.
The project:
The plan is to do full modern suspension front and back, with reliable VR6 power out back. nice clean custom interior.
For the purists: this thing was meant to be a storage facility from 1974- the end of the world. he cut out everything, the whole underside is rusted with erratic plasma cuts and torch-outs everywhere. the front bulk head behind the seat was removed for more storage. however, the outside, all glass doors are all there and in remarkable shape, we got our work "cut out" on this one man! will post pics up on saturday, the transformation has already began, with the removal of an estimated 40-50 black widows, and stinky wood paneling. windows are out and doors off, will go to sand-blasting soon.
