1961 23 Window
Hey all, Thought I would start the post for my new bus. Its a 1961 23 window purchased off Steve Muller. The bus is in excellent condition overall and will undergo a full bare metal restoration with Steve Hopkins. Steve has it ready for sand blasting but is very happy with its condition.
Will be keeping this as orginial as possible : sticking with the sealing wax red and beige grey, the interior will be the original basalt grey, standard rims etc. I am trying to get it similar to how it came off the showroom floor.
I said I wouldnt do anymore restos but couldnt turn down the chance to own this bus. I have also learnt that it is probably wise to discuss with the missus prior to showing the photos. (My wife said I will be able to return to the house in approx 2 months time)
A big thanks to Steve Muller : I know this bus has allot of history and wasnt probably the easiets thing to part with, but I know Steve H will bring it back to its former glory.
