And here's the bus. This last winter I:
*removed all of the Bondo and rust bubbles,
*sanded the existing crappy paint job,
*painted it with Rustoleum using rollers,
*scrounged together some cabinets,
*made a pull-out bench seat/bed out of scrap wood, and
*made the roof rack out of 2x4s, and an awning out of a tarp and some rope.
Now it's our family camper and we (wife, 3yo son and I) love it. I like the color scheme a lot but I had to rush the painting because the good weather was coming on. If I do it again I'll either do the same colors, only in satin. I took the VW logo off of the front to put on the double cab and I replaced it with a metal sign that says "Genuine JUNK Parts." I attached it using toggle bolts and caulking (to keep out the water).
I realize neither of these are really "rods" but I'm trying to slowly give them of the "rat" personality. I'm open to any suggestions.
I'd love to have some pinstriping done, especially on the pickup. It has a very rusty bed. I plan to treat the rust but I may or may not paint over it. Most of the rear floorboard is rotted but the frame and most of the body work is in good shape.
