The front beam is done! With Brakes installed! The corners are coming along also. holes cut and lights test fitted, Looking good. Check out the pics

A little more work has been done on my bus this weekend. The beam has been getting some finishing touches. A few welds here and there, primer and paint.
Ryan has also been working on the Spindles. He should have then flipped and ready to go in no time. I did some sandblasting on my wheels. Still have some more to do but hope to work on it more on wednesday
then they can be primed and painted.
I found some 2″ gauges at Harbor freight. I got a Tach and Oil temp. Cheap. They should fit nicely in the spot above the driver side Sun visor.

Just found out that Bugs & Busses Invade the Village, my favorite VW show, has been canceled this is bad news. I wanted this to be the first show that i took my bus to. I knew I wasn’t going to get to take it this year anyway so i guess that gives me more time to finish it. Just hope they don’t cancel it in 2011.
Not much going on with my bus. Money has been tight and my Honda broke down a few weeks back. It took about 1k to fix it this last week. Good news is that its all fixed. bad news is that grand would have gone a long way with my bus.

Things have been a little Slow as far as the Panel goes. So How about watching a few dirt bike Videos I recorded?!

Well not much to update. My budget seems to have gone down to minimum due to unforeseen Dr. Bills. However i am scrounging to build it up again. I will have to start working more this next few weeks due to the busy Christmas season so i will have some extra money to use on the bus. So keep an eye out here for more updates.
