It's home. The 15 window arrived today at my doorstep at 7:50 this morning. I'll post photos once the snow stops but till then you'll have to settle for "I'm happy". As soon as the weather co-operates I'll begin the search for OG paint. It doesn't look to be a difficult job as the green isn't too thick. With luck in a few weeks I'll have it back to SWR- BG as it should be. The logos are actually rather well done but I just couldn't leave them knowing a two tone Deluxe is hiding underneath.

Looks like you did good! I'll be following along closely, maybe I can just live vicariously through you...

That'll look really cool if you can keep the logos |

Made some headway today on the 15.   The logos on the rear had spray bomb over them. Turning out to be much more of a mission than I would have thought  Anyone have a theory as to why the primer on the decklid is different than the rest of the bus. Almost looks like mango paint but I'm pretty sure it's not.  [/quote] |

Looking really good! Not sure if it's been mentioned but any plans for ride height yet? I only ask because I maybe saw something on another forums...  |

I just saw you inquiring about an adjustable beam on Airspeed. Honestly I would be doing the same thing if I had a standard or deluxe.
Why are you leaning towards IRS over straight axle conversion? Not that I have a preference I'm just curious.

I haven't decided yet. I thought I had an IRS rear end for it out of a buddies beetle but it turned out to be one of the last swing axles. Still contemplating it but realistically I'll be dropping it a notch in the rear and running camber this year. We'll see how it goes......

Oh yeah, Almost finished the nose today. I didn't have time to put the "bling" back on to show what it will look like. Perhaps this week.  |

That animal looks SOOOOOO much better with the green paint off of it!
That pic of the nose with no green makes it look like a very different (and much more attractive) bus
Corner window buses look better slammed than other models I think.
Funny, I've always liked my 15 lowered, but never considered it for Mango.
Don't really know why.
Anyhow, keep up the inspiring progress!!

The more green paint that goes away the better it gets, looking fantastic!
