1963 VW Micro-bus part 4
I made the 2 panels that are behind the front seats,as well as the ashtray on the back of the middle seat.
also decided to open the doors.
and this is where it truely sits at this time. The stall being the door hinges. I've seen a how to on a external hinges, but, naturally I can't find it now.
Thanks for looking.

Re: 1963 VW Micro-bus part 3
Here I have the cut down Van sides test fit on the chassis.
With them almost ready to install.
(It will now have an engine too!)
Which brings us up to the moment.
As it sits now in mock-up.
It's getting close but I still have a lot to do.
Stay tuned for up dates.
Thanks for looking.

1963 VW Micro-bus part 2
I had to correct the dash, as I had never seen on as in the kit.
Where the kits dash extended flat to the bottom, there would have been a shelf, it's there now, and the grab handle is no longer a solid bar , but a handle as it should be.
The vents in the roof are non-existent in the kit. So I made one.
A friend found a Revell Roller Skate Van at a swap meet and thought I'd like it.
He was right I did like it, and thought it would be good sitting beside my bus.
But I noticed the the Van still had the interior engraved on inside, (another thing the kit don't have).
Sorry, but I never took a pic of the van before tearing it down.
I also liked the chassis as it had a bit more detail, (the heat duct leading to the front).
so I ground out the chassis from the van floor and the chassis from the bus.
