Cool I grew up in Great Falls, but military has me stationed across the sound from Seattle. I have spent almost a year on my bus the last will come in the next couple weeks ripping out the closet and building a new one and ripping out the floor and putting down much better stuff. I'll be adding...

If you all remembered I have been restoring a 68 Riviera. 8-30-14 my wife and I finished up the paint on her. Only have a few interior changes that we are doing and Lucy the bus is done.

Been awhile since I posted. I finally got the paint all removed and prime red up. I also got my curtains in. Next step is to fine tune the body work and then get some plastidip on her. Enough with the talking and on with the photos. I still have a dog leg to weld up so don't mind that part lol...

I have been working slow on the bus now that the sun keeps popping his head out. We took Lucy camping again, this time with no power. So primative camping is now a reality for us. We had a great time, and love how awesome having Lucy is. Couple of nice days during the week means I have gotten...

Dont worry the picture of the bondo was not the finished product. I added more and got her smooth.

Moving right along got the roof done up. I'm just hoping the weather stops here soon so I can get the bus outside so I can sand the rest of it. My garage looks like hell. It's messy with tools scattered, and dust and debri everywhere. So the driver side mounts for the front bumper were gone...

Got it done no the hole in the roof is still an ongoing thing still have to put the body filler on, but I did get the driver side dog leg done. Just need to weld on the mounting bracket for the bumper since it rusted away. I just have to do the other side now, and a small hole on the nose and...

Had to pull the bus into the garage I found what I thought looked like a place where water was getting into the rear. Looked like a rust bubble in the paint. I tapped it with a screw driver and bam right through. So I was right found the source of my leak. Upon further examination I wire wheel...

Haven't been doing much ran into a snag with my bug. She was sitting outside while we went camping I drove it to work, and thought I heard water sloshing around. Rear window leaked from the rains. Battery tray and the tray next to it were full of water. I drove the bus to work, and when I go...

Got her ready had a few hickups before we left for the camp out, but it worked out awesome. Driver side rear running light decided it didn't want to work so I cleaned up the ground, and she is good to go. I do know that I have leads swapped in the front for the turn signals, but that is little...

Been working through the body, and I got all the primer on Saturday night, and have just been working on the last details for the camp out on the 14th. I parked her out in the washington rain, and found a few more leaks so I'm working on that last minute set backs. Also my rear hatch seal is...

Had a change in pace yesterday. I wasn't in the mood to sand, it takes it toll on you. So I masked up, and primed the panels I had complete. I believe she feels a lot better. I just didn't want lucy getting mad at me because of stripping her down naked. She kind of had a glow to her after I was...

I broke down and bought a orbital sander last night. Lets just say the 15 minutes I spent I finished the drivers door. This thing is going to make my life way easier. So I have both front doors and a nose ready for primer, and the left sid middle panel already done. So I guess you can say I'm...

Lets just say the stripping has been going very well. I'm in a time crunch for 14 Feb. Thats camping trip #1 for Lucy I'm trying to get primer up to the bump. I have one panel primed, and I'm hoping to have the rest done this week. I sanded the nose last night so thats good to go for primer. I...

So I didn't have any 1's, but there was plenty of stripping going on in the garage last night. Ok all jokes aside I started stripping the paint a day ago. Last night I went crazy and started painting stripper all over Lucy last night. Some paints are harder then others so I have to let my...

Been working on a few things, and then got a wild hair up my ass. I sprayed a third of the bus with some stripper to sit over night. Starting to pull off the paint so I can start on the body work. We will see what that holds. Camping is in the works for Feb. 14th. One of the groups that camps...

Looking good! Nice to see a car from the area I'm living in right not being taken car of. Keep up the work i'll be watching for more pictures.

Thats a clean deluxe. The custom art on it is cool.

Love the bus. Should have left the paint, but I know how it is wanting to make it your own. Looking forward to your progress.
