I went out to indian the other day and took these shots. Thought you might like to see them. I've only posted 2 as they are big files, but the others are all linked.

I think I just broke it. Got 5 pics but then it said you've exceeded your bandwidth.
What is with the front nose. Is that just a rust repair or has it been dropped down a bit?

geez, I didn't think it would go down that fast...big dumb geocities. :td:

Kimms dropped the front, sides and dog legs about 3 inches. Note the lack of jacking points. As the original seam is an open invitation for water to sit and have a party, Indian have de-seamed a few buses like this, but not as low. Mines 3 inches extra drop too, the bumpers are dropped to match.

Kimms idea is that 'steel is real', so figured he'd just leave it for now, so people can have a look at it and figure out the work for themselves. 3 splitter died in the creation of this. But if you think this ones cool, go and check out the Bay limo he's been doing, that's straight as, and has plenty more work in it.

I think its a response to people that go into the shop and ask him if he can fix rust or weld up sills. The answer must be yes. He also stretched the roof rack. The rim are Type 3. Runs a 1300 on an Lbug, with IRS back end, 68 spring plates, Ball Joint front end and 91 Caravelle brakes on a dropped beam.

Still hammers up to 75mph...should be at Old Bar, Shootout, DOVW and Canberra ... Kimms built it to drive and have fun with, opting to get it on the road early and put the available 'spare' time into the Bay, which will run a GMH Supercharged V6, Caravelle Autobox and Airbags. They have put a gazillion hours into that, but it's a long term project as they will run it as a full time wedding bus.
