Picked up a pair of early headlights today. These are date coded January '57 so a little newer than my bus but correct for busses from 53-60 so a good score and a reasonable price too. Big thanks to @Choco for putting me on to these. One bulb holder is missing but nothing that cannot be easily sourced.
I also found a good source for glass rear lenses - a fella from Germany who appears to have a whole bunch of rare and hard-to-get lenses for German cars. He has red third brake light lenses...Picked up a pair of early headlights today.

I also found a good source for glass rear lenses - a fella from Germany who appears to have a whole bunch of rare and hard-to-get lenses for German cars. He has red third brake light lenses and stop / tail light lenses in stock. Will have to replace the cracked ones that I have at some point.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully.

Went down to visit the bus at the shop today now that its back from the blasters. The bus is having the tinworm fixed up by Cooper Pratt. He's cut the sills out and most of the front cab and has started collecting the necessary panels to make it solid again. He also spent some time reshaping the rear corners which had been pretty bashed around.
Overall the bus is not too bad, no real surprises, just the usual rot in the usual places. The cargo area floor is salvageable albeit a little...Went down to visit the bus at the shop today now that its back from the blasters. The bus is having the tinworm fixed up by Cooper Pratt.

Overall the bus is not too bad, no real surprises, just the usual rot in the usual places. The cargo area floor is salvageable albeit a little bashed up, which is good. It's come up surprisingly well from the blasting, I was almost expecting it to dissolve but it's solid enough to leave as-is with some small areas to repair.
I'm pretty stoked to see some progress on the bus after its sat in my driveway unloved for the past 8 years. Things are finally starting to take shape, Who knows, it might even make it back on the road in 2021.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully.

The Joe Blow Delivery Bus commented on this post about 2 years agoSo it looks like I have finally found a driver side A-Pillar.
Just waiting for it to arrive.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -
Got a bunch of photos here. Not much progress recently unfortunately. Plans are to fix up the rust, retain as much of the original paint as possible and add the Joe Blow livery to the side. Of course it goes without saying that it will get fitted with a blown motor.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream.
