pictures of the bus. I hope many got uploaded?

Let's try this again!
Hopefully there is a link to the photobucket?

Third times a charm?

Scott, after you load your pictures to photobucket, keep the photobucket gallery page open. Open a Georgia dubs window and start a reply. Then go back to your photobucket gallery and move your mouse over the picture that you would like to post here. A drop down box will appear under the picture. Move your mouse to the text that stays "IMG code" left click and you'll see the text to the right become highlighted. Then hit "Ctrl C" (copy) and then paste it "Ctrl V" to the reply box in Georgia dubs. That will post the img link to the reply box. It will show up only as text until you hit "send" or "preview" in the georgia dubs window. Hope that helps.

You want pictures...I think I have it right this time...As they say, sometimes quickly...sometimes slowly.
One bit of good news.. God was shining His ever-present Grace and Mercy's really Brightly upon me this weekend. I got my 69 Ghia up and running yesterday. Steering column was disassembled due an ignition switch problem. And my 76 Westy is out of mechanical restoration and 90% cosmestic restoration. There is no question that I will be driving one of these at the next meeting!

I got the bus running and idling.
It had many vacuum leaks.
Looking forward to getting together hopefully on the 8th,
Just let me know.

Have a great weekend,

Scott

Anyone know of where to get a half way descent set of used/new tires for the bus?

Has 14 inch tires 175-195/60-80/r14

Looked on craigslist and checked some tire stores in Stockbridge.
They have tires but not really in the price range.
Just wanted to check and see if anyone new of good deals or know of someone who can get good deals?

Talk with you soon,

Scott

Tirerack.com has some kumho's 175/70/r14 for $42 each. I got tires from them before and the shipping cost was reasonable and very quick since they have a warehouse in GA. Stockornaut is also selling tires, though I'm not sure what sizes they can get.

Just noticed the Jucifer sticker on the overhead panel. Haven't heard anything from that band in while

Since it doesn't carry all of the weight that a Westy does you could get by with lower rated tires. I run Firestone
cheapos on my Vanagon and I've had very good luck with 'em...I think the brand name is Primewell...they were very
reasonable.

I'm not gonna be able to make it, atleast not all day, cause its my boss's birthday, and he ain't workin, so i HAVE to fil in . That sucks. meh what can ya do. i should atleast be abble to make it when i get off, or atleast before i work (not sure on hours yet).

I would love to come and help out. I just need to know how to get there. Maybe I can learn a few things on rust repair.

What day is the tech on?

Scott had posted this a little while ago in the most recent Sonic thread. I'm not sure if the tech day was the 22nd or 29th, but either way, it looks like the bus is currently at the body shop.

well the bus is of to the body man and in a couple of week will be painted.I need some help locating a couple of pieces. my body repair man said that if I could find an engine compartment led and a rear bumper i would end up with a better result than to use the one I have. It is a 79 bus so most of the 70's model bus items will fit. If you have any suggestions let me know. I am very willing to go and pull the parts! Thanks and I'll send some pictures. Looks like the bus will be gone for the reserved August 29th work time. I'll send progress info! Thanks and it was great to see everyone at Sonic. Pat I hope your doing well. Scott Continuing the journey in His grip!
