yer it rubs off real easy, the paint aint too bad underneath, might take it back all the way and leave it, not sure yet,
if it was original obviously id leave it but if i cant get it back to the red.....

finally got around to cutting out some of the rust ,lots of crunch, picked up some chassis replacements, now its puttn it back together

[/url]

replacing all the ibeams, even the "good" side on the drivers side are rusting from the inside out

[/url]

chassis rails are good but need some love'n as well

[/url]

hopefully welding in the sections soon, get the ball roll'n on this bus

[/url]

quick question, its going up on the rosisserie soon, repair the chassis and floor first before it goes on? , just thinking that the strength has gone with the floor etc has been cut out, probably would have broke in half either way

I have just picked up a rotisserie for mine which is in the same state and the panel beater wanted to weld all the floors and sills in before we started swinging it around. Just in case

Yep, if she aint got the sills, crossmembers or floor in then she'll bend in the middle real bad!!
Good call to do those first...
