Hey GB, Looks real good. :thumbsup: I have a couple questions: Where did you get the blower assy from? and what does the "custom extended TYCO chassis look like? From the picture it looks like it can't get any lower then it is or you will have little groove marks in the bumper from it sliding on the track. :)

The blower came from a trashed furiouse fueler.It looked right at home on the bus :thumbsup: The extended front is I glues a peice of styrene rail to each side of front. Redrilled the axle hole and moved the wheels foward. That way I can still use the exsisting shoe hangers and guide pin hole and no extension on the body to hold the wheels like the AFX funny cars.

Buster- Pretty good merger on the bodies, nice work! As low as that bumper is, it would be a rough ride on my MM Lock and Joiner track!

I really like it!

I never thought something like that would work, but I have thought about putting a Mustang front clip on a truck, though.

I love all types of vehicles and buses are included. I have about a doz. bus slots, myself.

A great job--don't be shy about posting your work--we all would love to see it! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:





Cheers..
