Checker plate isn't cheap either( classic vee dub do a complete floor for$475?) plus I assume the ribs give strength front to back

Re: 61 panel
"I" beams and top hats are cheap and chequer plate is 4 x heavier than a repo floor , get one from cip1 when they have a special and it will only cost $800 for a full lhd rear floor delivered ..great job on the roof btw
Straight axle is better than IRS

Re: 61 panel
It's been sitting and waiting but I didn't think it's been that long since I posted, life gets away from you
Time to get this bus finished, just moved to a new house with room to finish this build so I picked her up today
Big change in what I wanted to build with this bus, I have a new low bus coming from the states the samba is on its way to being laid out on bags. Iv taken some inspiration from pages I'm following on instagram, Cam Biscuit's trip was good to follow so I'm keeping this bus high and drivable, I'm removing to roof again and putting on a pop top, after driving my other panel as a camper for the last year, made me miss my bay poptop camper
Good to see this forum moving again
