Easy way to do it would be to set up an account on photobucket.com and upload your pictures there, they have an option for resizing right on the site.

336 hours till the Lind run...damn, this is gonna be a miracle to get this Bus on the road by then. Engine was going together well, but I'm waiting on cylinder shims now. Well, that will give me some time to get other things on the laundry list done at least! I took 3 days off work, and have been working non-stop on this project!!!

Thanks for the kind words! Here's some pics of what I've been working on lately. This bus was originally a shop bus from Canada...here are some of the logos as I found it

And here's after the first day the sign painter freshen'd up some of the logos...





It's going to be ALOT of work for him to replicate the blistered side, but he's got some pretty good ideas for it. He's going to come over again tomorrow to finish it up (I hope).....IM STOKED!!!!

Nice Scott. Is that a Dove Blue popout frame on the right rear?

Good eye Eric Laughing It is a Dove blue pop-out. I have some white ones, but they need to be rebuilt. These will have to work for now...

Thanks! We sure did make the trip...but we made it into a camping trip too. Only to find out that there aren't too many places to camp in Eastern Montana!! I'm working on getting it a rolling bus, and then do some sheet metal stuff and get it up and running by spring! Then there can be two busses driving around Medical Lake!!

Troy, is the above message spam or something? I wrote that quote a LONG time ago.

No idea, might shoot the webmaster a message to ask him. Thought it was an odd post to the thread.

Nope, not a clue! I did alot of searching on the internet, but next winter when I'm not too busy, I might track down some Canadian business registery or something. Bus was delivered to Montreal, Canada. And spent all of it's running life north of the border. It sat for 30+ years in the USA...10 miles from Canada! Who knows!!! We added the stuff on the hatch, but I think it's flowing pretty good....that part is faux-tina, but the "GLAUSERS" is OG....
