Oh my......

:bowdown:

Some of the vintage guys are a little pissy...

...and to think I specifically didn't post pictures over there 'cuz I knew it wasn't their bag. :rolleyes:

Nothing like pissing off the vintage guys :D :D

Rob.

Sounds just like the Resto-Custom guys tryin' to bust on my Super(ior). But I have plenty of come backs for their 135 tire havin', Massey Ferguson front suspension drivin', non turnin', non stoppin' @$$es. If in won't turn or brake......It aint fast. :laugh:

They are just jealous that your bus has about 4 X the power of theirs. :laugh: If you ever see any of those "haters" at a car show when it is 95 degrees oustide and 100% humidity invite them inside for a break from the heat. :D A/C is a good thing...

WOWWWWWWW ..

DAMN NICE man!!!

verry nice ride!! :D

lol. just popping through new threads with my 4 year old son on my lap. the second he say it he said..."oooohhhh. i like the wheels." i raise em right. :agree:

Panel ............... what can be said that hasn't already been said ......except can I have it Pllllleeeeeeeeeaaase :D

The job you have done if more than fantastic, I don't know what the guys over at Samba.com are complaining for.

What mirrors have you used? they look great.


Rob.

Thanks for the support guys!

Rob, those are early Miata manual mirrors. $19 on ebay. :D

Miata, is that built by Mazda? if so I think it's called a MX5 here in the UK.

I might have to look for a pair :agree:


Rob.

MX5 is the same as the Miata... :)

I had to work on the ball that the top part pivots on to get the extreme angle I needed to make them work on the bus... just elongated the hole a little, once its back together you can't even tell. Did I mention they were cheap? :D

WOW! i dont understand the stuck up responses from the other forums about your ride.... but thats life in our messed up society.

I personaly think that your pannel is THE COOLEST i have seen, i really like vintage performance, and yours takes it to a "new" level.

I have even taken an idea from your project to use on my 1303 project becuase i liked it so much (The use of NACA ducts for cooling).

More people need to keep an open mind about things... im sure your all that do know what i mean.

I give you props on your work man! Killer totaly killer... and will keep saying it ;)

Later,
Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan!
The only thing about it that really bothered me was I didn't post my pics in that forum. Most of those guys are into restored, not custom, so I didn't try to show my stuff there. When I first read the topic and his opening comment, I started to jump on that guy with both feet! but they like that just as much as they do bad mouthing people's buses... :rolleyes:

Hmm yeah, maybe they really thought it was a bad thing to do to your bus, or maybe they just need sothing to bash and put down? i can tell you i know a lot of people that NEED somthing to put down or some one to blame...

Kinda funny though...being different is whats its all about man! Diversity is there biggest fear :O
