The bus is at upholstery right now. Will post a complete update of it's current status once it is finished and back at the shop.
Until then I forgot to post these if the underside.

no.
Cradle - looks like a common superficial 'issue' that they collect scrapes & dents. It's a pretty industrial tube - not sure how you'd go about beautifying it again. Not worth worrying about. _________________ -StockRocks- |

Agree.
My Deluxe is just sort of surface rusty underneath from age, it was originally just the factory primer + some overspray on the edges. _________________ How to Post Photos

Yeah they aren't painted underneath from the factory. This is a show car so we went the extra mile to detail the undercarriage.
And that tube is a PITA to fix so we left it. _________________ Jason Stratton 407 497 9944
