Re: The Banana Split
George, these vids are super cool, I've seen nothing as good as this on the net, just brilliant work mate. The whole build will be an incredible visual feast when done !

Re: The Banana Split
Cheers gents,
I've got a couple of other jobs on the go tomorrow but I'm hoping to get this down to the chassis and floor by the end of the week

Re: The Banana Split
Got another good crack at this today and managed to get the rest of the body off the floor
The floor will also need to come off the chassis as after a closer inspection its a little twisted up
here's the latest vid

Re: The Banana Split
You are amazing George.
Regardless of what anyone else has done, anywhere else in the world, you will be able to stand alongside them and compare your efforts as a peer.
This isn't a barn door, isn't a double door, isn't anything but just another turquis and white 11W.....
Your vision will come to fruition faster than what you think.
There'll be no more planes in your crystal balls.......
Party on Wayne

How shit balls mate!
Where did you bus go??
You should move to the UK and start a resto business. This will even put there salt fuelled resto's to shame.

Re: The Banana Split
Thanks gents but breaking a bus into pieces is a piece of cake, fixing the panels, making new ones and sticking it back together will be a big challenge, please feel free to give me all the good feedback when I'm against the wall and curled in the corner in a manappy
Here's a few progress still pics
The next step will be separating the floor from the chassis
