....the final high fill...might look boring, but the amount of new metal and body work to get it this far.....scary...

...
looking good whats the exterier colour going to be
Na its not boring, I reckon its kinda exciting seeing a shell at this stage, the anticipation of how damn good its gonna look in that top coat. I
cant wait till my Oval is at this point, I've got all the scary metal replacement still ahead of me.
Looks nice, interesting colour suits the year well I think. Love those retro sorts of colours, what is it? Should look the goods when the outside is
done.

looking good crewcab i love looking at progress pics,is that turkis green?
rob
nope it is pretty close to Pampas Green, but a bit more candy...Wals bus is Turkis...the whole thing is gonna be the same colour. 65Busser is doing
most of the trim in light grey...trying to avoid black, apart from the BRMs....it's an anti-bling thing...starting a new trend...ein Bus, eine
Farbe.

Awsome colour mate and very tight van,Nice .Mitchl
well the outside got painted....the rest of the pics are on the DSK thread for the bus. Looking good, should be finished by the end of the week...the colour is very candy-sweet....all I gotta do know if figure out how the hell all the mechanicals and electrical crap works...I got all the bits, just gotta get a clue. LOL.
did you end up buying that turbo motor for it or are you gonna stick with the stocker for now?
BTW, who's doing your paint? looks sweet 
stocker for now ... heres a few more pics today. I'm yet to see it in the daylight ...Thanks to Kimm at Indian for the pics. Gotta modify the spring
plate adjusters to accommodate the BRMS and rubber, which is why its still got those shite rims on it ... still at least it's got doors now...

Superb - I think the drop sills blend in effortlessly. Nice work - what wheels will you be running (or is that secret?)?

Crew.. Thanks for the pics. I have a 67 Panel, and needless to say, pics like this inspire me.
But I have noticed something on yours, that isn't on mine. You have an extra set of vents to me. I only have upper vents, where as on the opposite
side to your petrol filler,(LHS), has extra vents, being the lower set.
Any reason? Or do you not know why this is the case either?
Aren't the vents a 67 thing?
Muller thinks that this might in fact be as late as 68...Australian Panels in 67 Had two sets of venys as 65Busser sez. Above and below. The ones
above are plated off, but force air down. They are also inverted as compaired with a windowed van...Steve sez it's rare as, I've been trolling 'the
samba' and can find out squat. They are the same both sides...look cool...but they we're rough as guts...took weeks to straighten...and they are
damn sharp, so work stopped a lot due to loss of blood....
Australian one ...
Yankee one - and I liked this bus! it's earlier though and I think Mango Green
and a Yankee 67 - but someone modded the rear vent...but you can see what most of them look like...
Hmm.. Well, without taking over the thread, I just took a pic of the panel, and I am leaning towards it being a 66 then..
What do you think?
it's a 67 , 66s had the vents above the waistline but without the solid part in the middle. all "double vents" buses are 67
it is an australian and south african only thing.
but.....
a small number of 67s had double and a half vents like ccc's
thanks Mr Dog. Why have windows when you can have vents.
Thought so, but thanks for the clarification. Don't spose it matter as long as it is in the driveway.. 
Anyway, nice bus CCC, wicked man.
Thats one nice panel crewcab.As you can see I like panels
