Elegant, Masterpiece, Incredible, just not sure what word describes this beauty the best. If this was a full size car Ridler Award, America's Most Beautiful Roadster are just a few of the awards that would be named.
Chris, RMR has a few busses he sells. As far as that kit goes a short bus from the 50's has a wheelbase close to a truck with a long bed so this has too many windows besides being chopped. We had 2 different full size buses as campers as kids. A 55 Ford and then a little longer 68 Ford, both were Superior Coach brand. My buddy has a 50's Studebaker short bus he wants to make a camper out of. This thing is short and very cool.
Nick I am thinking 2013 or 2014 was been the last time he sold parts in Toledo. I would have to look around for a catalog to see for sure. Jesse when I talked to him last time he was to overloaded with work to attend and vend at shows.
Another work of Art from you Pat. After the Dutch Elm Disease swept through here in the mid 60's not many left that grow big enough for woodworking. What a shame as it is a good looking wood. I have been told that some wagon wheel hubs were made for Elm stumps because of how hard the wood is and the grain.
