    That's a super cool bus. All the rust looks like it's all easy stuff that you can get replacement panels for. It looks like a fairly solid bus.

    its actually a bit of a tough one. those floor ibeam supports all are too bad too....I dont think I would try replacing the edges The whole things need to go. Which means you need to replace all the cable tubes. You can buy them in similar sizes from the metal supply rather than buying the reproduction ones. the stuff that is also hard is the fender wells on the rear. B pillar up that far is an issue to replace as well. both seat stands front floors. before you cut out too much Be sure to brace. all that will be left is the frame rails. on the bottom. Use Rust converter on the metal once you clean it. Just as good as sand blasting. Honestly you can take a look at my channel and see videos of about everything you need to do. But you might want to butt weld instead of how I did it. all up to you and how much time you want to spend and how you want to finish it.

      the 8 mm throttle and heater tubes you can buy in a roll of 5/16 brake line from the auto supply or amazon. If Canada does not restrict your amazon purchases. Comes Zinc coated so you dont need to grind it (basically weld through primer.)

      Very generous of you to share your thoughts with Glen; if You were able to bring back that cherry picker, it’s worth listening to your 2 cents! Thanks for the great content on your channel BTW!

    You need to finish this project because right now I’m living vicariously through you! I do not have any space in my one car garage for such an undertaking and believe me when I say it really sucks. Had to turn down a 65 bus in slightly better condition back in December. Someday.....
