overhualing bus
« on: November 08, 2011, 06:33:42 pm »
9:00 P.M. tonight on velocity tv (overhauling show) is rebuilding a  VW bus. It shows up on comcast channel 205 in my area (Bricktown). This a repeat.

Is this the one where Foose knocks the window out in front of the owner?

The engine is a 1904. He won the engine in some contest a while ago. Foose replaced some parts and added some other parts.

I hate to be a purist but I dont like how he replaced the front VW logo with the volkswagen script. The script is too small for that.
