Parker, welcome! Looks like a good find! If I were you, and being only 4 years older than you and just getting my bus last fall, I can totally relate . If all the parts are there, I would just get that bus rolling. Just the safety/mechanical aspect can take all summer. I would love to resto my 63 but I dont have the time/money to do so now. For me, just getting the mechanical stuff down has been a good challenge. Metal panels are replaceable. Midnight T-bell runs with your friends sitting in lawn chairs in the back (my bus doesnt have back seats) arent replaceable lol :lol: !
Best of luck!!!

There are plenty of people who roll around flintstone style. No shame in it! Some ladies like it crusty and rusty, except mine of course...
