Ok ,so how far do i go before i need to support the structure? :zhelp:
The front and back floors are done, bottom nose section will come of tonight ..well inner and outer valance and bottom nose skin as there is accident damage.
Does anybody know how tall the bottom nose replacement section is? it seems i will have to replace from under the light bucket

:bn: Rust likes hiding away :shock:

Hi JC
it is always better to only chop off the rusty parts once you have the replacement parts to measure correctly. I wouldn't chop the lower nose panel unless you have the replacement to work from....We do manufacture a very nice rear floor , and we also have front floors in stock, was the front floor completely gone or could you have saved the center section ? front floors are quite pricey....
You can email us for some prices on the panels once you are ready.. aircooledspares@gmail.com :wink:

I had to play around with the colour a bit.....dark olive green and some savanna desert colour. Looks weird on the photo but the bus is deep in the garage and paint was still wet,i think it would look better in the sunlight :?
