Hey Dave,
The chassis doesn't look too bad in the last photograph, it's lot better than I expected!!
Matt - When I'm down your way in September I'll come and pay you a visit!

Would have been easier for klassic fab to send you a repro bus and slap the vin tag on , same result

almost! however everything externally will be going back on. Its in pieces but will be whole again soon!
It will effectively be a brand new chassis with a neatly stitched and blended original bus back on top.

main chassis rails basically complete toast. Weirdly ok in places but the decision has been made that it will be stronger, safer and the best option to replace with fresh steel.
out with the old...
and start building the new
