I think I recognise that front panel...I have it here
You say it's a Standard, but it has weird colours. A cool light beige on top.
Anyone know what BD colour this is? _________________ -StockRocks- |

I always just assumed it was a brown/tan standard...? And whatever that is on the bottom is repainted over tan-- _________________ I'm always home.....I'm uncool

nope, I'm waiting for Hondo to get on here and drop a dime on this one- it might actually best remain a secret...... |
Yep....that one will probably be hidden for a couple decades. It's in the depths of strawberry country. Super solid bus ,just needs a little damage repair and paint stripping. |
Mmmm...strawberries and PBR. This one is going to rest for awhile... _________________ www.blastserv.com

Dang! that's Skim's bus.....and that pictures was taken at Wilsons' VW Salvage in OK....Okay! Check the beetle sign in the back ground and the photo below. When was that pic taken?...I have some from 1988-89?. I almost bought that bus for $500...but that was waaayyy too much for that big of a project... I think I offered Leroy $200 at the time
Awesome pictures Pee Wee!

It did for some time end up in utah, the owner of Parts Is Parts - makers of the first repop westy and beetle wood slat roof racks before ending up in Huntington Beach when Perry Urrea bought it, then Paul Fonseca from the GFK bought it out the Recycler classifieds in the mid 90's til I ended up with it. Now its only 2 hours from that same spot in Oklahoma.

Holy Shit Skim,That must be the 61 impala in the fore ground of that pic? I followed that build forever. Then the kids needed food and the wife some smokes so I strayed for a while. Thats in-fucking-credible. Post a pic of it,...please _________________ "We buy things we don't need,..with money we don't have,...to impress people we don't even like". |

Glad he has it! He's the man to make it Nicee...
I got my mis-information from the 'for sale' thread on DSK. Some guy named 'Gerson' from Columbia said it's for sale and sold. Pics are in this thread.
