Ideal to act as a door to your post-apocalyptic desert compound

(That's a movie reference in case you aren't a Mad Max fan)

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

I think a little more corrugated roofing material will take it to the next level :)

The sheet metal work is a little rough. I wonder how it ended up in New Hampshire, I thought they were mostly out west.

That has to be a factory roof. Someone else messed up the sides. Nothin' FRP and a few tubes of 5200 couldn't fix.  8)

Wow. Been a while since I've seen aluminum split rim wheels. I don't think I'm brave enough to run those on the front.

Man, this thing had me giggling. I love the rear door. I actually think it has a bit of a cool factor. Craig

     Yeah, there is that.  Sort of "it's so bad, it's good".  But I sure don't want it.

I guess he was trying to replicate a Crown high-level tour bus such as an Atomic, or maybe a Highway Post Office or an ambulance bus or a TV outside broadcast bruck, or who knows what?   Either way, it is just sad, very very sad.   If it were done right it could look really good, but he's a long way from that.
