Those guys are good. They did my buddy Web's '67 Westy: http://www.kustomcoachwerks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2242 Web is a guy who got me into Vanagons; he had an Escorial Green '84 Westy for a time and I fell in love with it. He bought this beat-to-death '67 Westfalia, "Arleen," in New Orleans. I helped him spraypaint it green with Krylon when he brought it to Denver. Then blew the motor on Widespread Panic tour in Whitefish, Montana in '99. He left it in a guy's yard, then called the guy nine years later and asked if his bus was still there. It was, sitting in 5-foot tall weeds next to the guy's house. He towed it down to Kustom and they did the job you see on that forum. Web drove it for a year, then decided he wanted to sell it. It ended up going to a couple who had it re-imported (is that a word?) to Germany. He made a very nice profit. Circle of life. -- Joe T.
