Sweet bus.

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

Great looking Burb! Watching these ones makes me really want to get one. I have one found but I have to sell my 86 before I can go buy it. But I will soon. Keep at it, I will keep watching the updates with everyone else.

Your burban is looking sweet! Are you still planning on shortening the lwb chassis from your truck or just transferring everything from that frame to the burban frame? Cool color combo too! Keep it going!

I am eyeing a burb in town. It has been sitting in the tree line for a few years now. I think I may stop to talk the guy out of it this weekend. My wife will be pissed, but oh well. I already have 2 66 LWB and a 64 LWB.
