Here's a little update on the Vegas Bus: The cargo floors, cab floors, rockers, dog legs. cargo doors, passenger doors are repaired. The next step is the main body sanding and detailing to get ready for paint.

Bob,
No it's not the same guy who did the SC. I found another guy who is retired and works on it in his spare time and so do I. Since I don't have a time line on the project, it works out for both of us.

The Vegas Bus is back in the body shop getting ready for paint. Pabo, the guy that did the rust repair and body work retired due to health reasons after 35 years. Fortunately, his son-in-law Carlos Moldonado, who worked for him, took over the business. Carlos is also a big fan of Volkswagens and has done quite a few including some real nice Beetles. His business is: Extreme Body Experts. Here's a few pics.


Carlos must seen this dash trick at Sean and Kirk's CKWA

I'm diggin it Ken

I can't believe all these great VW's getting great restos here in the last two years!

Great job Ken! I love the Vegas bus story. This will make up for all the time you've had to spend in PA! Driving that will be great.

Soon you'll be working on the '68 single!

Thanks Sean. Hopefully the 68 SC wil be the next.

After a few weeks break, Carlos continues to "Massage" the body. Soon it will be ready for primer.
