BODY MODIFICATIONS
Getting the bus stable at speeds well above the posted highway limits was quite a chore. The first thing to go was the westfalia pop-top as it wasn't designed to stay affixed to the roof at the speeds the bus was reaching (every type of hinge setup was tried before steve decided to do away with it all together). Next was to shave everything that stuck out and grabbed air. The front was cut off and a new smooth front with old style headlamps installed. Just to be sure, the body was extended down five inches all around to keep the air out from under the bus. The suspension was also lowered 3 inches and good gas shocks installed. A custom rear wheel disc setup was designed and installed for added stopping power. You might be wondering where the side mirrors are, well there aren't any. They were tossed and little camera's installed which provide better vision day and night. The dash was also tossed and a custom one installed.It features full 911 instrumentation. The end result is an aerodynamic (and I use the term loosely), toaster shaped beast, that is very stable and is as much a joy to cruise in on long highway trips as it is to blast up the highway for a quick speed fix.
