A long 7 years
Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2015 2:58 pm
We bought this bus in August 2008 and after 7 years it is now getting close....
I tell people that my 'vision' or 'goal' was to make it something that could have been a factory prototype in the mid 60's.
The truth of it is more likely that it is a few ideas I have seen done by others and liked (yes - including the Foose build - check the old thread on that one!) , combined with my favourite split features over the years, and a good dose of original ideas and customisation included.
I am sure it will annoy purists, and even more so the rat / patina fans.
The Mammoth Bus is truly epic and inspired me to push on with all of the hassles involved in a bus that isn't exactly 'off the shelf'. I have done far less of this myself. Read that build thread if you landed here.
One day the long and the fat may ride together and be proud
