I got my floor in. I dont even care about all the other little stuff. Ill do that later. Right now im on a mission to make it a driver. Later on ill fix the doglegs and pillars. I tossed the seats back in and sat behind the wheel and pictured myself rolling down a country road in this gem. Suddenly i felt revamped and im ready to start putting in werk on this bus. Ive been having motivational issues and have felt uninspired lately. the roof thing really had me down and out but, another member was able to donate a nice roof clip to me and its lifted my spirits making the project seem worthwhile. There for a minute it wasn't. That would of made two buses in a row.

Heres a look at the bullet holes. I think their cool! It'll be fitting for what im going for overall. The lower rocker isn't to bad so ill leave that alone for now. I bought the replacement steel from WW and ill save these things for a rainy day. Front floor, engine and brakes are my top priority.
