and im an Eagle addict.
(now everyone in unison: hi kyle.....) lol
i finally got a few minutes in front of the computer to get on here and say hi and i just want to say that this board is such an awesome resource for advice, instruction, ideas, and stories and it is pretty neat to have all the collective knowledge here from people who have built and rebuilt these buses from the frame up at our fingertips. we all have to agree that songman and co. have done us all such a huge favor.
ive met a few of you in person before(Songman, Dreamscape, Basil, and talked dan lenz's ear off more than a few times, haha), and for those of you that i havent, my name is kyle and i live in northern ca(sacramento, specifically). busless at the moment, but have been a proud owner and caretaker of a few Eagles and just parted ways with the latest one last month.
i have tons of questions on a plethora of Eagle topics that i want to ask, but i figured ill fill my first thread full of pictures, because i know how much we all love pictures.
this was my first bus that was all mine and nobody else's. its a 1980 Eagle 10 #30223. built in April of 1980 and delivered new to Seattle Gray Lines(Evergreen Trails) as fleet number 301 i believe. i cant remember for sure. it had a 6v92TA and Allison 740, Wrico 8KW diesel genset, and was just an all around great coach. it was converted bit by bit by a blugrass family band from oregon and finished in 2002. i bought it in June of 2006.
