| 12/10/04 | Alexis Prappas - Brazil | Hey Jeff. I realy enjoy the look of your lowered bus and i wish to do it on my bus. Can you send me some information on my email? I will be very grateful. I dont intent to install the disk brake, and im using the original iron weel 14".
Thank you very much. Prappas |
| 11/11/03 | Jeff Simmons | The headaches I'm refering to is all the trial and error involved in a project like this. I normally build drag race cars, and this is quite a stretch in the other direction. Plus when I started this, I could'nt find any info anywhere I looked. |
| 11/07/03 | Jeremy Hoggard | Jeff, what headaches are you refering to? |
| 11/05/03 | jeff | anyone interested in taking advantage of my painful learning experience to make it easier on yourself, e-mail me, I'll be glad to save you some time, headaches and money. |

| 05/17/04 | HelpOnTheWay | Kapow! Looks awesome -- what are those colors? And were dark bumpers stock in some places/years? Just curious. |
| 11/10/03 | westman | Sorry, but I had to do it. Your knowledge probobly far exceeds mine in this, but I'm young and still have much to learn about my bus and others. I wasn't aware you owned this site, but kudos on that and thanks for the post. |
| 11/04/03 | Mike | I don't rely on stickers to date a bus. |
| 10/30/03 | westyman | Just thought I'd throw some pix of my new bus on here for the world to view. Oh, MIKE, it is a 63, but I have no sticker to prove it. |

| 01/14/07 | Simon Santiago | Are there any diagrams or plans on how to properly shorten a bus and redo the tranny, wiring, etc.? I have a 76 Westy that is a "candidate" for shortening. |

| 12/10/03 | Ronnie | where are the message ?? |
| 12/07/03 | Ronnie | Hey, all you US-boys must know what shocks to use when bus been "Straightaxled". This way to slam seems very popular over there.
Cheers Ronnie |
| 11/26/03 | Ronnie | Dropped spindles bought via slammedpanel, Holland. Rear is slammed by type1 gearbox, no negative camper (or positive). Need high rear tyres(195/70) and low front tyres(185/55)
Right now only 1 person in front, otherwise contact with tyre. What is the best shocks to buy for slammed rear, meassured 32 cm without shocks. Kyb's up front, due to dropped spindles not altering in shocks length..good ridequality. |
| 11/26/03 | Ronnie | New roof, correct slooping bumper and splashpans found. Good that we have long winters. |
| 10/07/03 | Spengdog | Ronnie, where did you get your dropped spindles? I can't find anyone in Denmark that has them. Did you just turn the back end? |
| 09/25/03 | Nick | hi, just saw your bus pics and noticed you have a straight axle set up, iv heard of this but no one can tell me how to do it, i know i have to make up some shafts from bits and bobs , could you give me some info? email me

| 12/15/03 | Que | Hey Todd,
Very nice look you have going on there. its really clean. if i were you i'd start adding accessories. Rack, Ladder, coolers, luggage, fog lights etc.. nice work |
| 12/14/03 | Todd | Thanks Jason.
I like to get feedback about my bus. If you have any other comments or general questions I would appreciate it. I am kinda at the point with my bus that I don't know what else to do with it. I was thinking about putting an air ride suspension on it, but for the price, I dont think that will come for a long time.. or at least until I get out of school. Other than that, maybe a luggage rack with a Coke cooler.. and upgrading the stereo some more. The bus is definatly getting a new custom exhaust this summer.. its gonna be a dual outlet that exits right in front of the rear wheels with probably the slim Harley tips.. but i havent decided on the tips for sure yet. Again, any feedback or suggestions are welcome. Thanks again for the comments. Todd |
| 11/08/03 | jason | this is the sickest bus ive seen on this site or anywhere.
Beautiful |
