DSC08935_blogView from the back….

DSC08936_blogCab floors are not too bad… when we first saw the rockers we thought to leave it alone, but an up close inspection did me buy the bus, it deserves to being rescued as it don’t need that much!

DSC08941_blogNice and dry, surface rust underneath, as said, rockers is the main part to worry about, but only rockers isn’t that bad yet! And the sliding door rocker it-selves looks still good, its especially the part behind….

More then likely a lot had to see with incredible nice weather we had the last couple of weeks, everybody in Western Europe is completely in “spring” mood!

The Freddy Files yesterday was extremely packed, with around 1400 cars in attendance…. 

For BBT David it was the BIG DAY to finally brake in his new ride, a 1959 Single cab, fresh in from California, with a last “touch” from our BBT crew, lowered, straight axle, sitting on Real Early Porsche wheels, with NOS pressed bumpers, tarp, roof rack You name it! Get on da road David! This ride is begging for miles!
