Sweet 69 early bay in progress

Post by Rashaad »

Hey Guyz,

Here is a link with sum pics of my early bay project.

Pics is not in the correct order but i'll try to get it sorted.

Enjoy!! :)

The bus is pretty solid, with minimal rust below the front screen, the two corners on the roof at the rear, and knocked at the right rear corner.

The rust has been cut out and welded up.The welding was grinded down and smoothed out with lead and not bodyfiller, as i hate filler.
The lower corner that was accident damaged was pulled out and then cut out and a new corner panel was fabricated out of new sheat metal.

The body was taken down to bare metal, and then etch primer applied.

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.
