Note to self… find a black ambulance fan switch. 🙂

Awesome to see the glass in.

If the tinted rear glass is nice and has the right logos, let’s do that…

If there’s an issue with the tinted rear let me know and I’ll dig something out and ship it.

Nice save on the Jalousie!

Been a long couple days… setting up for an industrial equipment show.

Yep… it goes inside the cabinet. Only hole with a hinge. 🙂

Raw aluminum on tent mounts.

Outside hold down straps were late bay window and aftermarket. The two inside straps are all we need.

Ya, only thing I can think of is make sure wiring is all in place that goes along roof. Dome light, wall sconces, etc. Then headliner. Then cots and covers.

From Clara… Cab headliner panels should be birch and are longer than standard SO42

Should just use IRS Beetle parts on the rear end since it’s getting lowered. 944 stuff is for stock height.

I’m having an engine built by Blackline Racing for another project. We’re missing a part that I’m suspicious may be down there with you guys. It’s a small piece of ceramic coated exhaust from an A1 Header. 1 1/2″, tight bend and flanged. If it’s there, it’s probably in the box with the miscellaneous left over engine parts from the 2015cc engine I brought you.

Can you check for me?

One time I went to BBB when I didn’t have a bus…. it totally sucked… If your gonna go to BBB, and want the right experience, you gotta DRIVE a bus and SLEEP in a bus… Top is looking great… Pat is killing it!!!! I love that picture on the homepage with all the cleco’s holding the aluminum down..

I totally agree… I’ve towed my Deluxe down several times. But I’ve never driven a bus all the way there. Bucket list.

No cab interior panels for 2-3 months from Clara. She is healing from an injury.

The Westy tent mounts were in the bus somewhere right?

Gretchen, they really are the best split camper model. My favorite part is actually the folding roof cots. They give you somewhere to put all of the stuff that’s normally in the way in the bus so you don’t have to shuffle stuff around to go to bed.

I made the mistake of selling this bus once already, not going to do that again. 😁

I had Scooby on board day one… nice to hear Corporate has finally come around. 🙂

I found a good correct logo wing glass. Will ship Monday.

Riley,

I’ll do a quick check in my pile tonight and let you know on the glass.

My kids loved the last one… they may be too big now.
