havent gotten it yet, soon
I have part of the original interior, similar to an SO-42. Plan to install the zee bed and rear cushion for now.

Looking for a Westy interior if anyone has one.

Slayer,
Thanks for the info. Very comprehensive. Doesnt seem to be much out there on the bowman.
Do you know of any on the west coast?

Craig, you need to start a thread on your bus now. ;) I was going to but didn't feel right about it. I have always liked EZ campers and have thought they are awesome but a turkis one makes it truely awesome!! IMO You're going to keep it solid turkis right?? :) I'd love to own one someday. Can't wait to check it out. Will you have it ready by Kelleys 2012??

Ken, your bus is looking great too. Will you have it ready by Kelleys 2012?? I'd love to come by and check it out sometime when you're at the shop. Let me know.

I'm going to do my absolute best to get my 65 westy to Kelleys this yr??

We could be like the OCC / PJD crew and have a build off to see who gets there, even though Ken has a head start. LOL :lol:

I going to do my best to get the Vegas Bus to Kelley's. Probably won't have the interior done, just a Z-bed.
Call my cell 440-476-9290 anytime and if I'm at the shop, stop by, usually there on Saturday.

Finally getting back to the Vegas Bus. I got a little over my head with the glass work so I decided to call an expert..... enter Glassmaster Dan (aka Lurch).

I'm not really doing thing anything here, just pretending I'm working, but mostly watching Dan work.

Since the old windshields were scratched, Dan made new ones and they fit perfectly and went in like a dream.
Image
The back window is in pretty good shape so decided to reuse it....

Besides I wanted to preserve the Peace Sticker from the 60's, it's part of her personality.
