The bus has not been sold. Sonnie's daughter is going to get me some interior photos that I will post.

There was quite a bit of activity on the bus I don't how many Jim had but I had 12 inquiries . I weeded the tire kickers and low balls out for her she didn't need to deal with those and the ones I thought were legit I had them forward their offer to her in writing how many did I have no idea.Bus buyers are a funny breed I don't think she will have any problems with the buyer showing up and picking it apart and trying to beat her down some more they will hand over the money and drive off

Clifford, I have also had some contacts.

I just checked in with Mike (Brenda) and she said that they have a solid offer, but the Sonnie's daughter has go to court to get the power of attorney so that she can sell the bus. Apparently that will be late this week.

Hello Jim I want to thank you for inviting me to join the forum as we have previously discussed I would like to see more pictures of the undercarriage work that was done to sonnie's bus I understand what a huge undertaking it would be but it would be worth the time and effort for a person that has the ability to do it themselves

Welcome aboard John!

Sonnie's engine conversion was very unique. After you posted, I got to thinking that it deserved to be documented in the Project Eagles forum. I have started a thread here: http://eagles-international.net/forums/ ... f=9&t=4394

Unfortunately, I am bogged down with "stuff" right now, so that thread will take a bit of time to develop.

While you wait for that thread to develop, I suggest that you read the engine conversion articles we posted here: http://eaglesinternational.net/category/articles. That series documents many of the issues involved in converting from a two stroke engine to a four stroke.

Also, I have documented my engine conversion on my website (see signature).

Jim
