I will shortly become the new owner of a bus shell...
As sad as it is, the chances of it ever finding it's way onto the road are slim-to-none, hence my decision to cut it...albeit with a plan...
I need someone to help me cut it, professionally, and then make a few mods to it...to fit my plans...
Any suggestions as to who could help me out in this regard?
Thanks, N.

If I were you, I would have a look at the shapes and sizes of replacement body parts available for a Bus, then cut the salvagable pieces out of the shell slightly larger, so that it could be trimmed and MIG-welded into place (on a restoration project) when needed. Rather too big than too small..
But cannibalising a Bus is sad, indeed

I've thought of it as a parts shell, but I have no storage, and have had a wicked idea in my head for some time now which I'd like to follow through with...
Sad, but true.
