Those scoops on the roof look identical, but difficult to make out in the picture but is it some sort of sheet metal going across between the two scoops?
Sure it got there in under 2 hoursTony Z wrote:awesome!!! Good find.
no roads or trails leading to it... makes me wonder how it got there in the first place.

Firtst question: Am I able to bolt the front suspension over as well as the gearbox, spring plates and torsion bars from a fleetline onto a 59
I think all those bits will bolt up except the gearbox. If the bus was built after 4/59 then it will have the later front trans mount and the Fleetline box will fit. If it's earlier then you'll have to fab a new front mount and shift rod.sean wrote:Firtst question: Am I able to bolt the front suspension over as well as the gearbox, spring plates and torsion bars from a fleetline onto a 59

@Klaus, that donor bus is totally rotten, as only a coastal bus can be.

Is it Dove Blue? It looks more grey to me.jolas wrote:Well done man, this is going to be a very interesting project, looking forward to seeing the progress. Amazing - the transformation now that the '59 on wheels, with bumper and headlights. Very keen to see what is happening under that secondary layer of paint, that Dove Blue with patina is going to look wicked
