Hi everyone, had the very fortunate opportunity to meet some of this group at Barn 1890 last weekend
It was truly awesome that you were all so supportive and welcoming
Thanks for all your help and advice on my resto of my 55 and the parts!!

Welcome Mike
Bus looks like a big project but under control.
Always good to see another 55 being saved, whats the plan?
Looks like you have similar rust issues as mine

Good to see some pics Mike, looks like your welder will be warm for a while! Is that your shed? Looks massive, I’ve got shed envy. Glad you made it onto DSK, we will let you know when the next catch up is on.

Thanks everyone

Yes lots of work to go and lots already done.
Btw- not my shed!! This is where it was picked up from and the state it was in when I first had my beer goggles on! Knew what I had ahead and happy with where I’m at 6 months in and not sure how much left!!

Welcome Mike. Good to chat with you at the Barn and glad you got on board here on DSK.

Look forward to seeing more of your bus if you feel like doing a build thread in the member’s ride section.

Cheers
Mark.
