Those guys are good.  They did my buddy Web's '67 Westy:

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.
