Wow...all these buses got my creative juices running for my project.  I already secured my alloy wheels and motor parts. Now to get started on the body once my chop has the motor in and is back on the road.  That blue standard panel with the 911 fan and IDA's says it all!  The single cab pick up is clean too!  Nice posts Sarge!

Strictly speaking, most likely NO, Buses cannot be CalLook ... unless they can run under 15.9 in the quarter ...

Sorry, I didn't make the rules, I just remind OTHERS of them.

Having driven it a couple times before he sold it,I can tell you that Bob Cook's blue panel pictured above would certainly run under 15.9. It had/has a 2276 with IDAs,that sucker would scoot.  Another freind of ours has a oval with a 2332 and stock gears that ran 13.30s @101,and he and Bob would play from light to light leaving the local cruise in,and the bus did pretty well. It didnt have a problem showing my DD Acura taillights big time from a 75-105 rolls in the interstate..repeatedly.  Cheesy  That thing was a blast to drive.
