That look really great!!!!
Are you looking at doing a graphics on it?
.
AwesomE!!!!!!!!!! It really is coming out nice.
Mike, if I do anything I had an image of what Large Marge would/should look like that I was thinking of having someone put on the back door. Imagine a short stocky woman about 4ft nothing, wearing a yellow shirt w/green pock a dots on it, huge droopy boobs, no bra, a short moo moo dress, flip flops, cat eye'd horn billed glasses, with a cigarette in one had & wearing an old fashion cabbies hat. Other then that most likely what you see is what it'll be.
I think the cabbies hat would just be too much! :eek::eek::p:LOL::rolleyes:
Marge is looking great, congrats!
Marge is looking awesome! How are you doing Joe?
Actually doing damn good. Just got back from 4 days in Orlando after being asked to come down to visit a friend. It just so happens I was going to be about 45-60 minutes away from the shop so I called & Rich and told us to come on down. As you see I did. Was suppose to do a bunch of stuff but the weather & then time stopped us. Leaving again on the 20th to visit my sister & a childhood buddy near Sacramento for my birthday. On May 3rd I fly to Raleigh, NC to spend time with my son for his birthday, then on the 6th back to Orlando to spend more time with my lady friend. Not sure when I'll fly back home yet, that has yet to be determined. I can tell you where we're suppose to be on the night of the 6th with the New Moon in the sky. A very good friend has offered us his house on Dayton Beach Shore while he & his wife are in the Keys on vacation :3dSMILE: :3dSMILE: :3dSMILE: ..joe
I'm glad to hear you're doing well Joe!
On the way to have the interior installed & return to the shop by next week. Yes I'm a happy dog :3dSMILE::3dSMILE::3dSMILE: ....joe

The double cab truck doing the towing job looks real cool too.
How many rows of seats are you fitting ?
Very unique build, I love it!
Love the pair you have there. The hauler is supper cool, as is Large Marge!(the Sherbert Express) I think you should put a PA system in her and play the ice cream song while cruising the neighborhood or maybe this song by Van Halen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2RKWJD5ops
That's awesome for Marge! I really dig the crew cab hauler though!
very sweet looking
The stereo system will be a blaster. I believe Rich told me a total of 10 speaker will be hooked up through the about 5-7 miles of speaker wire ran in Marge. The "crew cab" isn't a crew cab, but a diesel powered super extended cab built by the shop owner Rich. All four fenders have been widened & it's sitting on a late model frame. Nice truck too, I got to drive it when I was down there earlier this year. It does have some funky outside mirrors on it at the moment but they work great when towing.........joe

Crikey!
It appears congratulations are in order!
Not only for the bus but for the new woman as well!
She would appear to be a very pleasant looking young lady; but I'd hold judgement on the fella in the photo... :whacked:
(I'm sure I've seen him somewhere...) :D
Good luck to both of you!
:) :) :) :) :)
Congratulations, Joe! Happy for you.
congrats joe. beautiful lady.
Congrats on April too!
Congrats on April! Thanks for the info on his extended cab. That is a nice truck! The sound system in Marge sounds like it will be great!
Congratulations all around
Any updates, Joe? we're waiting on some finished pictures!
None yet except there was a bunch of set backs at the shop over the past months (sickness, deaths, neighbors, code enforcement, etc) and it's still at the upholstery shop getting finished up. Gotta remember she's a big girl and it takes a few miles of cloth to cover her up......
Sorry to hear of the issues but glad to hear it's still getting worked on. How's everything else been going for you?
here is another one to start on in the mean time. $1,200 will take it home :)
That's bigger than Joe's...it's more the size of ours.

That's a pic of ours as it was when it first arrived on the wharf in NZ.
It looks a wee bit different now!
Was told this morning Marge is being picked up from the upholstery shop tomorrow, YEAH.
All is well with me, still in Florida but am taking a trip back home in June & hopefully driving Marge if all the bugs are worked out if there is any. Gotta check on the house & visit some family & friends for a bit & generally make an appearance...

Have a friend who owns a classic VW van tour company in S.F. He just had a 48 Ford Fseries School bus restored . He has a great Hwy One beer tour to several breweries that is a must if you come out this way. Vantigo is his company https://vantigosf.com/ ! Like giving him a plug when I can.
