Kim, your bus is an inspiration! I needed this as my 71 is pretty run down after years of use and neglect. Keep the posts and pics coming! |

Well, today I had to make my decision. To put new lino in or leave the old and just have a bunch of little holes. I finally decided on new. Before that though we installed the roof panel. One thing I learned is, by cutting the pattern out like I did, the grain was going the opposite way that the board had to bend, to bend into place on the roof. We did manage to get it bent in to place, but it did break a bit. You can't see the break though. It is on the top. I lucked out. I will look for the baltic birch when I get ready to do the front. ( Thanks for the tip bigbore.) So yah, it will have two different types of wood, but oh well, we aren't going for a beauty contest!!
Where did you get the birch panels from? What stain did you use, I like the color, thanks
Once that was up, and the lino was down, it was time to start putting the furniture back in!!!
I had to do some repair on the overhead shelf so I have to put that in tomorrow after the glue dries over nite! Then I have to do some minor wood glueing on the sink and also do the plumbing on it. Then that can go back in.
Next big thing to do is pull the motor!!! I will hopefully be getting to that maybe next weekend!! |

Hey! I finally have an update.
I haven't been doing to much to the bus as there isn't much to do but drive it now. That is a good thing. But, after seeing a ad for a circuit writer, I thought hey, maybe I can fix my rear defroster. So I bought one. With not much luck, that failed. It was to hard to work the pen with the glass up in the air, or even with the door shut and me sitting inside the bus. That in itself was hard to do too. LOL So a friend of mine told me that they actually sell that same stuff, but in liquid form. After a search online, i found it and purchased a bottle. It was not what i was hoping for. This is what it did when I was applying it.
But before that, I had to mask off the window. That was a job in itself.
Once masked off I began to paint the stuff on. Like I said, it didn't work like I was hoping. I was hoping for it to be more liquidified. It wasn't and it dried and clumped up pretty fast. I ended up using the hole jar. Quite a bit was lost do to it getting to dry to fast.
I let it sit in the sun for a few hours and then when and pulled off the tape.
You can see where it needed more in some of the areas and it really came out pretty dry or chalky. Not sure how it will hold up to cleaning. I may by another jar just for touch ups, but it's not cheap so I'm going to wait to see how well it works this winter. I know some of it may not work do to the breaks in it, but if some of it does, then it may be worth another jar.
I did do a small test with a test light and i got power further down one of the lines then I had gotten before I put the silver stuff on. So I know it does work as far as getting power down to part of it. The real test will be this winter. I'll give an update on how well it works then. _________________ Kim
