dave after reading your post with AZ roadtrip ,( by the way cool report with old buses) , an idea came to my mind   Roll Eyes

time is to rebuild gasser or repop those one , and my idea is why don't to build the assistance truck of one of these gassers , and after seeing your flexible and other bus inthe tread , i just remember the LEE ELIMINATORS bus named "race central" i don't know if this one is a flexible , but it will be cool to build a replica of this one

here're some picture of the bus from keith cal look archive , and some other from magazine

keep growing the idea

As much as a nostalgic freak as I am, redoing the Lee Eliminator bus would not be my idea of remembering the good times. As you may recall, it was Lee that basically buried the original Empi and all its parts. They grabbed the VW dealership network, and dumped the Empi performance parts for good. While the high profile bus was cool, I'm sure Darrell and friends rather recall the days in the Race Shop Crewcab more, than some flashy corporate school bus.

I would tend to think he would have liked the "simpler times".

I believe that is a Bluebird Wanderlodge.  Very cool coaches.

Wow! Cool photos!!!

Definitely a Blue Bird... I know where we can find one cheap... I say we buy it and ship it to you Fabs for your next project Grin

Think of it, you could display all your "special" VW parts in it Wink
