How is the glass in it?  I think we are going to try to put a bus together for my grandson.  Justin has a decent shell, but all the interior and glass was in his storage building that about two feet behind his house when it burnt . . . so the building and all its contents burnt to the ground too.

I have some glass but not a windshield. What all do you need?

All glass is good and complete.
Zen I would be VERY interested in trading this bus for the autostick.
Top and all, engine can or cannot be in the deal,
It has crank out windows top and bottom, and has solid glass on both of the back windows, one side has a new seal...
We can work out something.
Trans is good, Let me know.

Sounds interesting.  When would be a good time to come look it over?

It isn't 10 minutes from the plant.
I am supposed to get it tomorrow. If you are intersted in it, I plan on getting it after lunch / early afternoon. Are you free?
We could just tow it down to the cabin if you want it after I get it.
Let me know.
Homer would look good with some of the sheet metal from this bus. the top should be a good add to Homer.

I might try to make Anthony's yard sale in the morning.  After that I don't have any plans.  I've got a ton of stuff I "need" to do tomorrow, but I probably won't do any of it anyway . . . so, yeah, I'm probably free tomorrow afternoon.  Give me a call when you decide what time you are headed that way.

Didn't get the bus, BUT I got a Thing!

BIL and I are going to fix it up.
Will post parts needs in the Wanted section...
Not the rusty-iest one, but it will need to meet my MIG welder.

Didn't buy it...
Went with the Thing instead.
PM me your # and I'll forward the contact information to you.
It has rust issues, but is a pretty nice bus.
Thanks,

That is three of my former air cooled cars that you have ended up with,  2 I kinda regretted selling,  there aren't that many left,  most of the others were water cooled
