WOW! a '61 Westy is a good find

I'm really enjoying watching this thing transform into its former glory. Good luck and I cant wait to see more photo's.

Work on the roof is done 99%. They are busy flatteng the primer and work on all the imperfections (sanding and pit marks around the windows) on the long panel with the "micro fine". They need to do some welding on the dog leg. Should get paint on end of this year (I hope).

Primed and mist with black, busy with flattening. Still no colour.

. At least they working on the bus.
