Hey guys!, WOW!, work all week without checking in, and find so much imformation! please feel free to hijack my post anytime gentlemen LOL! I listen to every ones opinions and views. it's the only way to learn about Eagles these days.
Now, the things I'm sure about doing to my bus, is replace engine with 8v92, add T-drive, welding 4ft to rear end, 8" inches to the roof. Yes!, jim you were right, I was just trying to save some money by going the cheaper route with welder. seeing how I am a very good artist/designer and studied each and every bus frame I could find, that had more than a foot added to the rear. so I understand your concern and advice, once again this was the reason I purchased an Eagle rather than MCI, etc,.. was because all my homework told me, if your adding slide outs, rear ends, or any structural custom work, it's best to do it on an Eagle frame!, am I right?
now, my T-drive will also have to be done next year, because that is one of those things that i will just have to hire the best to get it done right. so I just need to save up more pennies. I promise you all, I will be intouch with every one who has gave imput on this, when the time comes! 'great discussion, thank you!'
also will hire a shop to help weld rear end, I shouldn't be trying to nickle and dime that as you said. I wanted to do the big jobs first, because it seems like working backwards to raised the roof, then add to rear. remenber I'm teaching myself as I work, thanks guys
