Do you have possession of it yet AB? What is your overall plan for it?
I love the look of those busses, if I were in the market for a motor home I would definitely go the conversion route if I could find a good sceniccruiser. They just have character.

Looking forward to seeing more of your rig, Afterburn.
For those that are interested in these buss conversion RVs check out Prevost and American Eagle. They both build beautiful high quality rigs. Cheers Richard |

You should have Paint in your Windows. Paste your pic into the app with Ctrl-V and then use the 'brush' to mark over the license plate. Save and store it in your pictures. I don't drag and drop with Pelican v-Bulletin but that's a possibility.
Maybe someone can explain the D 'n D. |

Are you going to use as is or restore it? Sounds like an interesting project

I'd be happier with some pictures!
While a big project, that bus looks really cool.

All right Afterburn,
RestoMod scenic cruiser escapemobil. Sounds great! There are lots of detailed accounts of complete rebuilds of airstreams on airforums.com RV systems are pretty generic, same appliances generally The site is broken down into different subjects. Technical and restoration. Plenty of good info for your interior buildout. Look for forums on the upper toolbar of airforums.com homepage. It's going to be fun watching you pull it together. Cheers Richard |

That will be one amazing second home when you are done afterburn, and a fun project in the meantime. Hope you and your family really get to enjoy it.

The 8V-71 is supposed to be simple and reliable but loud. Economy and power are not bad.
I suspect you have a spicer crash box. Do you know how to double clutch? There is a learning curve on them. |

But surprisingly reliable and really simple to fix. Do you know if yours has a turbo or just supercharged?
