Getting Painted


March 2002
The BootBus Just Got Painted...

Restoring a vehicle takes a pretty simple recipe:
- vision
- elbow grease (3x the amount of vision)
- power tools
- knowing what you can do yourself (such as scraping rust, at which Nick and Chris are DIY deities)
- knowing when to take it to the shop (e.g., to get a good paint job – just look below!)


Boot Boyz - not sure what to think, or how to act with our new friend. Quite a change, huh?



That's more like it! The boyz reach for the sky as their '71 freshened-up friend fills them with that 70s spirit – or is that the 60s?



Back to Bidness: Sean on the phone, trying to figure out how to get windows in this bad boy.
