[QUOTE="static, post: 645721, member: 131"] “Body off” restorations using rotisseries are done with Split Window buses, not Bay Window buses. Advice: First, rebuild the front end (steering box, tie rods, bushings, shocks, brakes, brake lines, etc. Rebuild the transaxle. Do NOT put higher gears in it. Keep it stock. Rebuild the engine. Pay extra to have it balanced before assembly. New heads! Stock cam. Correct, vacuum-advance, distributor. Rebuilt German Solex carb. Correct tires: 185-14c, reinforced sidewalls are essential. Ignore what your local tire shop has to say about bus tires. No, what they sell isn’t “as good as”. Once all this is finished, and only then, should the body and paint be tackled. [/QUOTE]
