Okay everyone, I am a woodworker/carpenter at heart. I would love to do a bus conversion and put my woodworking skills to work at decking out the inside. I have done tons of remodeling jobs and am very good at seeing how projects will look when completed. I have no qualms about finishing out the inside, I know I could do it and do it very well....
My problem is this, I don't want it took look like a bus with the shiney metal sides. I know many people like it, but I just don't. I would want to take out all of the windows and re-install working RV windows.
So how does the process go to "recover" the outside of the RV so that graphics or paint can be put on?
Here is an idea of what I mean:

Also, check out my website for pictures and some details of how I did my bus:

sudz- click on my name on the left and you can see how mine is done. In the big scheme of things, it takes a long time and a lot of work to re-side it right, then its a lot more trouble and $$$ to paint. I'm happy with how it turned out, but I like the stainless siding just as well-I'd be happy to share some tips and such if you want to contact me via email-
Here's a photo of one of my favorite MCI's......I made this picture at the Conyers Ga. Bus Rally earlier this year. I think this design combines great elements of the SS siding, plus cool graphics.
Any excuse to post a neat bus pic!
