Re: '63 11 window
Left side rear corner removed and replaced. Sandblasted and primed pillar and side panel...
Rear hatch gutter section removed after taking a lot of measurements. Also the rear corner required some modification to fit and line up nicely...
New rear gutter section welded on...
Rear corners prepared and ready for the corner gutters. Next will be the left hand side from the corner to above the cargo doors...

Re: '63 11 window
Are you telling us, you do this just as a hobby on the side !!! 
You are smashing it, I'm sure as shit - if you were on the East Coast peeps would be booking there bus in for you to ply your trade.
Love seeing anything dragged from the Dead.
Far out, this one's another contender for the DSK Hall of Fame resurrection. Along with the Cubby Hut...wow !
Rego before Easter ?
Cheers Linz

Thank for the comments Linz! No qualifications here mate, I just enjoy working with my hands and having a go.
This is my first bus build so learning as I go and loving every minute. I’ve had the bus since 2012 and would love to have a red hot crack at getting it close to having the body done by the time I turn 25
