Very nice Manny, looks like a new bus. What did you paint the exhaust manifold with?

Thank You Wayne

I know what you mean! We just bought six new FS and the only thing I can say is this. My pocket book is empty, but I sure feel safe now! 8-)

Wow Manny! You did good!

Now, all you need to get her out for a nice drive - Can you hear the Non-Rally at Palmetto Cove calling? You're gonna need to be there to enjoy the fruits of your efforts! Besides, Eric might get the big head if he gets all the attention! :roll:

I sure am glad to have the bus back together...
Kyle, if we can make it happen, we'll sure try to be there.
Eric, I'll come to SC and paint your engine, if you'll paint my bus :D Your new paint job is AWESOME! Does your friend paint buses on a regular basis? Looks like he has a nice shop.

Real buses? where? I've looked all over here & I must have missed the Scenicruisers. :lol:

They're all real, just some better than others . . . .
Nice encouraging format to show the progress of work on individual units.

Good to see how my 'flighty' friends are progressing on their projects.
