Pimp My Ride : 1958 Split Panel Bus!

Holly shit Im scared!

Just wathing the episode now, will let you know what happens!!

:duh

I have a copy of this makeover on disc right now , watched it on monday night and couldn't beleive the amount of work that they did to that rusty old splitty at no cost to the owner . the 40" lcd tv with the playstation 2 was just awsome . and how about that clothes dryer mounted in the back so when Ryan comes out of the surf , he can throw his swimmers in the dryer , make himself a milkshake in his own blender and kick back in his corner lounge . WAY TOOOOOOOOOOO KOOOOOL .

I was a little pissed off at some of the stuff they did, like smooth over the dash with material and only ally plate and bog the rus spots, instaed of doing the proper job.

But....

They didnt wreck it!

They added:

Empi's
Automatic Surfboard Rack
40" Plasma TV
DVD Changer
PS2
A pop-out chill sign
Smoothy Maker
Clothes drier (For after surfing)
Marine Radio (For checking surf reports)

And to top it all off they gave it some nice safari windows up front.

Sweet, nice green and white paint job, classic style, Im pleased they didnt mess with the classic lines. The boss of the shop actually mentioned it was a classic, and they respected that.

Screenshots to follow.

hurry up with the action shots!

I feel dirty promoting an MTV URL, but hey.

Tell me that was originally a Panel and they put windows in it??

it was a 58 panel van and the owner cut the holes for the windows and then he didn't know what to do next , so he just left them open . when the makeover was done they fitted windows .😎

panel van rule number 1... dont cut windows into them!!!

panel van rule number 2 ... if you want to cut windows into the side of your panel van see rule number 1 ...:vader
