The inner fender has already had a custom piece of C channel fabbed and installed.  The forward 1' of the rear tire well has already been replaced.  It comes with several structuaral pieces and the only thing I should have to fab is the outter skin of the body.
I would hit you up for that roof section you cut out, but it has a structural bend in the middle of it.
I am going to use some of the machine shops to fabricate a side pannel if I cannot get what I need with the tools I have at home.
I am more worried about the wavyness of the large side panel than the base @ the floor.
I litterally think in one full saturday I could have this thing sealed up and ready for a glaze and paint.
It does seem to pull and run well.

I ran good when I had it but if you came to a stop and weren't in first gear,  good luck getting it in first,  once you got used to it wasn't so bad,  I still heal toe the gas pedal o. The thing even though I fixes the idle out of habit,  I didn't see a reason to fix it when I had it,  I was like a work truck

Had an epiphany on how to fix this large hole in my bus.
Add a Door!
No- seriously.  It is easier to weld in the horseshoe for the handle than to weld across a 42" in the middle of the panel.
I'll post more plans, but it involves de-skinning the door leaving the thick edge and trimming the lower skin just below the belt line and tucking the door skin below the existing belt line and weld below the beltline and grind down the radius.
More to come...
Used door = $25....
Not having a weld in the middle of a panel = Priceless.

The pull of the triangle is getting stronger!

You need to find a right hand drive bay window parts bus.  It'll have everything you need to make a double-door.   

Or, you can make it into a camper and make a slide-out . . .

It's a blank canvas . . . why paint a plain ol' bus back on it?

Zen, The funny thing is I seriously considered a slide out....
If I was planning on keeping this bus, then I'd do something cool like that.
BUT, since it'll be on the auction block before you can say "done". I'll just go back to a normal looking bus....
You all are just jelious you don't have my creativity!!

We are, but SC knows that you are jealous of his creativity!

I was wondering what you called it.  I thought trying to make something good out of a sow's ear was called  something else. 

I know...
A purse!

You will need a big one for your bus project.
