I've always been a big fan of Teledials and they look awesome under your bus! 8) Great job on the engine too.

Edit: One of my friends has Tele's on his Grawomobil late bay, I won't spoil this thread with a pic of it, but here's a direct link. 8)

Welcome chap. Great looking van there, a good deal of thought had gone into that. Nice one 8) 8)

VERY nice work there

looking at the first shot I was wondering how earlybay could cope with yet another light coloured US westy, but your attention to detail makes for a stand out model

the wheels in particular really make it imho

Sweet Bay, lovin' the Teledials, the small fogs, been after some of those for ages, where did you get them and that grill surround, i've only ever seen junk ones. Again beautiful bus.
