Nice job Scott (and family)! It's nice to see the kids monkeying around and helping with the project. . .we were looking back at some of our old pics and realized the kids grew up as we all built this thing. Before you know it, you'll be heavy in cruise mode.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks everyone. Even though we are not nearly done with the bus Kathy and I are already talking about how we want to change it when the kids get older. One thing is for sure. We intend on raising the roof. I am not very tall but it sure would be nice to have that extra room for ducting and wiring. Oh well I guess it will be our life long project. Sounds like fun. :D

Well it has been a while since I posted anything so I though I would share what I found this week when I got the bus out for the first time. I noticed last fall when I put the bus away that the front end seemed to be sitting a little lower than it had before and we were having trouble closing the front bay door on the curb side. Well I found the problem. Looks like I am going to be spending some quality time with my welder in the next couple of weeks. I will post more pictures as I make the repairs but please be gentle with my welding skills. I am not a profesional welder by any means.

Then onto the other side to check it out. Not any better. Looks like the front has dropped about an inch or so.

I had to copy and paste as it would not allow me to move it to a project thread. Paul
