Here’s the prototype drawing that was never actually built.

Oh yeah the outside will be restored and some nice wheels and tires will be installed. It will be silver,red a yellowish tan and white when done.

Scratchbuilding a dash next. The more stuff I make the more I realize I still need to do. What started out as a simple idea had blossomed significantly. But it’s starting to look cool

So here’s the seats and some paint thrown on the floor. The file for the seats didn’t make good legs so I made my own.Nice thing is this bus never went past a prototype drawing so I’m just building it as I envision it could have been. The white box in the last picture is the start of a room for the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH basket .

I glued some square stock to the bus sides so the floor will ride in it like a channel. It makes it easy to take in and out and I think it will allow for expansion and contraction which I believe made the sides warp. The metal chassis was crimped tight to the body. I added some ribbed sheet to look like rubber matting far the walkway and tossed some seats at it for test purposes.

So I got this thing cheap on the Bay. When it arrived I noticed the drivers side was warped in above the rear axles. So I figured it’s kinda flexible so maybe a floor would fix the problem. so I made a rudimentary floor . Getting this apart without destroying it was a two day project in itself. The floor did help get it mostly straight. So now I think well Maybe it would be cool with seat in there. Anyways here we go!! Gerald Smith printed me a ton of seats for it.

Yes sir!!!

Stunning absolutely beautiful.

Sweet one

Why you wanna be making fun of my extermination devices??

Ha

How did you do the hoodscoops?

That’s a funny story. The original builder glued them on so well they survived all my rebuild and chassis butchery to get it this low. I felt if they could survive that they deserve to stay!! They’ve earned it.

I just see I forgot to paint the turn signals?

Wheels I got from fleapay. Seller Jayswheelsandties. Yes ties not tires. The bumpers were replated.

AMT 60 Mercury rescue rebuild.

That color combo is just plain right.

Saweeet

There was 30 Cyclones made. 20 429 9 351CJ and one MX formal roof 351CJ car. All automatics. Option was dropped after Dec. 71. I found a 351 ram air set up and put it on my GT

Oh man I wish I’d seen that.

Tom do you have a picture of the greyhound bus?

Real nice job Bill

Put a set of Steven Zimmerman’s Olds wheels on it.

Thanks

What Skylark are you talking about? Interested in any Buicks
