About my Bus

This is a Christmas present to our boss. He decided to make it 4x4.  I own a fabrication business on the side and will be doing all the fabrication. I am going to put a super charged 3.8ltr Buick v6, turbo 700 tranny, and either a Landrover or Landcruiser transfer case.It will stay a rear engine set up.  I am designing a modified 4 link front and rear, stretching the front cab five inches, a six point roll cage, power sun roof, and custom bumpers.
  It is still in the design stage, but I have already cut the front cab off and removed the factory frame at the front and rear.
  This is just a concept drawing. I will send more as it progresses.

I hate to be the one to break the news to you but that bus you have pictured is not a 1969 I can't tell the exact year because I can't see the turn signals or the tail lights but you do not have a 69  log onto WWW.DrVW.Synthasite.com to see a real 69

I am sorry, the photochop is just not doing it for me.  I have to see updated pictures for an accurate assessment of the vehicle.  Surely something has to be done by now from April, right??
