1972 bay window bus

[soulfly]

lookin' good, cant wait to see it "finished"

[Madhatter]

Thats a really good question, For the primer, Im estimating like 8 cans so far, And i still have to do te top which is like 2-3. And for filler, not really 2 much like maybe a full can total. Its just on some i left it open and it hardens so i ruined like half haha. But the reason im using so much primer is because Its huge and stuff and once i primer it i find little imperfections so i sand it down and fix all the imperfections possible. It pisses you off at the time but i think it will pay at the end when its painted.

happy to see the updates, looks like another beautiful day in the land of Volkswagon.
I could not help but wonder how much primer and filler you have used on this bus thus far...
