A few things just had to be fixed right away.

Like:
1. replace the decklid, valance, rear hatch, with better stuff I had lying around
2. weld shut the 38 holes in the roof, and cb antenna mount :roll:
3. fix that radio hole hack....right Sean :lol:

I would have been more impressed if you cut the replacement piece to size and welded each individual slat! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, very nice job. :D Can't wait to see it in person. Let me know if you need a 6V radio! ;)

I threw this engine stand together because I had the extra parts on hand. I also put wheels on the bus flipper over device.

Its easy to get side tracked. I got material left over from my rotisserie i made made for the 62. Looks like you used the same sq. stock for that engine stand? You have have inspired me to make one myself. The 61 came to a halt to work on that single cab for framingsilly PLUS im trying to get that vanagon i picked up on the road. 3 busses in a 24x60 with parts everywhere lol. Your shops bigger plus you got that lift. I envy you ;-) im tired of rolling around on the floor haha. I meant to ask in the last post, what kind of welder are you using? Amperage wise i mean? Ive been running flux on a 110 Lincoln and it blows!! I was gonna switch to .030 standard wire with 75/25 gas. I need a tank first tho.
