RobRez 1,895 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I am almost done with my 1973 VW "Wonder-Bus" project! Well, I haven't made my gun racks yet, but I have made lots of progress on it. Lots and lots of fixing has been done, with a bit more to go.Here is where we stand. A before pic, an after paint pic and the spots I will apply on sunday to make it look just like a loaf of Wonder Bread! I am still planning out the interior work, as far as a bed and hidden gun storage, but it goes well! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MT Predator 2,294 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Nice! A guy down the road from me has an old restored Beetle with the split rear window. He is now working on a VW pickup that has a split windshield. Not sure how old it is though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Missile Shooter 41 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Oh the stories I could tell about the fun those buses were/are. I had a few while in Germany in the 70s-80s. The best one was one we removed the engine and replaced it with a Porsche engine out of a 911. Autobahn bus Or the time flying the "bus" under a Huey (don't ask, but alcohol was involved). Those buses are absolutely fun to have and drive. Great JOB !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
belt fed frog 56 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Your missing something ,Ah i know what it is http://www.robertrtg...ingmount.html nice and discreet but make Da Vunder Bus into a can of Whip A%% when required . I have one and it is too cool ,the back rest swivels with the mount but it can also be lowered so you can rest your butt on it and still swivel ,Very well designed ,smooth and light weight . the cradle was designed for the MG-3 better known as the MG-42 ,a very simple affair Very easy to modify for your given choice of mount ables Missile Shooter, try a 411 motor in a 73 bug Edited July 30, 2012 by belt fed frog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
