| 12/15/03 | Que | Hey Todd, Very nice look you have going on there. its really clean. if i were you i'd start adding accessories. Rack, Ladder, coolers, luggage, fog lights etc.. nice work |
| 12/14/03 | Todd | Thanks Jason. I like to get feedback about my bus. If you have any other comments or general questions I would appreciate it. I am kinda at the point with my bus that I don't know what else to do with it. I was thinking about putting an air ride suspension on it, but for the price, I dont think that will come for a long time.. or at least until I get out of school. Other than that, maybe a luggage rack with a Coke cooler.. and upgrading the stereo some more. The bus is definatly getting a new custom exhaust this summer.. its gonna be a dual outlet that exits right in front of the rear wheels with probably the slim Harley tips.. but i havent decided on the tips for sure yet. Again, any feedback or suggestions are welcome. Thanks again for the comments. Todd |
| 11/08/03 | jason | this is the sickest bus ive seen on this site or anywhere. Beautiful |

| 09/12/03 | Ronnie Laursen | hey Todd i just uploaded some pictures under customized. About your soft front, try KYB shock "gas a just" they are for heavy vehicles,use the standard length. They seems to work fine for me. I also use them in the rear, but need to reposition the mount to make them travel more..the rear steps a bit. But i will also use transporter tires in the rear to make i more "stiften". Like you i use a 1600 Dp for now, but have a 1700 type 4 on the shelf, it will get injection which gives 80 hp as standard. Thats enough for me. It would be easier to use a 1835 or 1914 type one, but you know i have this engine a like the strenght of it. But it has to be converted to upright cooling(done), with external oil cooling system and electric fuel pump and other small works. If you want horsepower and economy go for injection. Or maybe a watercooled..but that's amother story. hi from Ronnie |
| 09/10/03 | Todd | Ronnie, The Type 3 rear end conversion kicks a__ compared to the old reduction box setup. I put short travel shocks in the rear end and they seem to be working great. The drop spindle front end may need a little tuning on my bus though. It seems to bounce, so it may be a little too soft. Do you know of any quick fixes for this problem. As far as my engine goes, it is just a good ole 1600dp, but I have plans to correct that in the near future. I am investing in an 1835cc with dual Weber 44's. The motor will probably be in order for a rebuild, but it'll push my bus a lot better than the 1600. What are you running in your bus? And do you have any pics on here of it? Also, if you have any leads on a larger displacement engine.. nonstroker for practical purpose, that would be great in case the deal on this 1835 falls through. Thanks for the comment. Todd |
| 09/08/03 | Ronnie Laursen | hey Todd cool bus dude,except for the type3 tranny i have the same setup on my 65' doubledoor. Isn't just so mych better than stock! Have you installed new rearshock mount(to give shocks more workspace)? Or maybe short shocks. I feel my bus is a little hard in the rear. What about engine stock or stroker? cheers from Denmark .. Ronnie Deluxes are harder thatn sambas, more "strickt" |

| 12/26/04 | marcelo lopez | I am from Argentina, he/she wanted to know if this apparatus is good for a Type ll refrigerated by air. And which the price is? |
| 03/13/04 | Todd | I have all the paperwork for this a/c unit scanned. I am going to post all of it today on Vintagebus.com I am really not sure if this unti was ever made for right hand models. I know that this will not fit a right hand drive because the underdahs component is made just for left hand drive buses. Please let me know if you have any information as to the value of the unit. I am not really looking to sell at this time, but I am curious as to how much it is worth. Thanks, Todd |
| 01/16/04 | jim soulios | Greetings todd, have u found any further info on ac & is it available 4 right hand models ? |

Rick Alexander http://WWW.brubakerbox.com The Box is said to be the first mini van. I have heard from numerous sources including Curtis Brubaker that Lee Iacoca (sp?) had the Brubaker poster (I'm still looking for one) on his office wall for years prior to the Chrysler Caravan. I heard a story last weekend at the Carlisle show from a personal friend of Todd Gerstenberger (Brubaker's associate). It seems that VW was offered an opportunity to produce the Box. They turned it down because of the Bus. It seems that if the Box and the Bus were side by side, people would pass the bus up to see the Box and that apparently scared the crap out of VW. Now just some anecdotes for you. I was driving through one of our larger towns near here (30K) and a woman with an arm load of groceries walked into a phone pole while looking at the car. I stopped to see if everything was alright and soon had a crowd that took me an hour to get away from. So much for doing the right thing. Another story is from this time last year. I was driving to PA for the Carlisle show. There was an explored that had been shadowing me for about ten miles. You know the one, out front, to the left, to the right, behind. As we approached a construction zone I looked over to see him looking at me with a cheshire cat like grin. Bang, bang, bang he hit those rubber barrels and I never saw him again. Well I hope there's something here for you. I've always said that it has to be DIFFERENT to get my garage space. I keep telling my wife that Detroit never built anything that couldn't sit out in the rain. |
