The ‘details’:

Thanks for looking at this cool VW bus!

What an excellent, excellent job on this VW Microbus. "Fillmore" from Pixar`s animated "Cars" movie is envious, to say the least.
Is this the original paint and vinyl interior on and in this VW?? If it is, it`s more than a survivor despite its lower mileage.

I will also say this: this is one of the few vehicles that you have detailed that looks "slightly out-of-place" in front for your home in the photos. Then again a lot of German-made vehicles end up in front of your home, and rightly so!!
 
Way kewl!

It looks beautiful!

Which DeFelsko PTG do you use?

Double take!!

I thought my sister made her way to your side for a detail. It looks so close to her Bus!

I need to go remove a scratch from hers some day. When I do, I`ll come back and post a few pics. (It won`t be a full correction, detail, etc. just that scratch)

Nice work on this one
 
Thanks for the comments!

Lonnie, it is original!!!

Merl: Positector 200

Just: OK, cool, cult following on these buses!
