The bus is still sitting there. At this rate it'll be paint less forever with all you whacko drivers out there hitting trees and breaking switches :P

I finally managed to get the first rough paint coat done on this bus! I'll let it bake in the heat for awhile, and then I'll go for another.

*Walks past the shop, admires 18501 with its flawless paint job* *Trips on a random bucket of sawdust* *Sawdust billows everywhere and sticks to 18501's paint* *Sawdust clears from air to reveal an 18501 that looks like a giant, tan blanket*

Well since I last posted, the paint work on the exterior has been fully restored to it's original shine.

The dash has also been repainted using the original factory color. The interior floor was scrubbed with a very strong chemical that would probably kill a child that comes in to contact (:D)

 *leaves bottle of chemical under seat that says "candy drink"*

In all seriousness, the bus is pretty much done. I'll move it back to it's space on Monday.
