Now I can put this project to bed, tomorrow I will re-install the newly painted windshield trim, then on to the front electrical panel :roll: and get a few items straightened out, then on to the rear panel.Thanks for viewing :D

To be continued....

Thanks fellas! Paul, been waiting to stumble across a set of these for a while now. Andy the pictures dont show real well, it is hard to capture the image in a picture especially the blue. For night time driving I am fond of my red egg light in the upper corner of the windshield but I don't think I will use these at night up front. Now I must mention these strips can be cut into smaller sections. I plan on using the same on the interior of the coach in white and red, I used blue for the dash as it was the only color that would make the engraving on the panels jump out at ya, nice! Next is the disco ball and strobes LOL! Thanks agin all.

Cheryl and I got all the pieces and parts to the bus today, and wouldn't you know it, it jumps into the 90's, so tomorrow we will do the fitting and fine tuning, then we will start installing the pantry cabinets which is on the left lying on it's side and still needs a little trimming.

Upper cabinets will come down, and get a little trim. Lol! it's starting to take on some sort of shape now :D
