hopefully it will will be up here with me soon instead of sitting on blocks being used as storage 
it sucks having to put it in storage weeks after getting it drivable

had to pull the beam out to fix some things so i thought i would raise the center pin while it was out
since it's narrowed 4 1/2" the shocks didn't line up so i made a bracket for them
it's first road test
finally after almost ten years it is drivable

One point to mention. I think you're going to dislike having those dual mufflers scraping out back. A custom hideaway would be the way to go. I sold a complete setup including flanged heater boxes to match the exhaust for $50 on Saturday. It would have been perfect for your bus. |
it was suppose to be at vintage but i had a little issue with the trailer
and it's not roadworthy yet so i couldn't drive it there
the mufflers are just temp. i am going to make some later on

what did you do on fixing the "window" that was cut into teh side? donor bus, or just flat metal with a bend?
how hard was it to weld in without warping? |
i had cut up another panel many years ago and i saved alot of donor metal from it
as far as the welding i just did small welds every 6" around the opening
