Great resto .....
Great resto ......
I have been watching this on Al's web site (gallery) and have found this an amazing resto for a bus that looked so good when it went in.
Al is doing a fantastic job on your SC and it will be like a showroom floor bus when finished.
Can't wait to see the finished job.
