Wasn't aware he had passed away.

I was in that bus once. Great view. A shame to do that to a Scenicruiser, though, in my opinion, but to each his own. That's why we do this hobby.

We were at their place yesterday helping take the personal possessions out of the bus so my wife could take pictures to post on photobucket. She will have them on there soon and I will post the link.
Good luck, Sam MC8

Thanks for the pictures.
It is a very nice looking motor home. Sad the builder didn't get more time to enjoy his efforts.

Too bad it no longer has any resemblance to a scenicruiser. But I'm guessing that won't matter at all to the new owner.

Kyle, you would be sad to see the 4501 the guy in Ca made it to look like a Beaver beautiful coach I seen it before at the Mak rallies it is in one of the old magazines around 2000 or back.


good luck

Clifford,
I've seen that one & I'm still in wonder of his reasoning behind those actions. Especially when you consider the talent required to do that level of quality work.

But, to each their own . . .

Sam,
Hello to you and Sandy, we missed you at the SEBN rally last week.  Thanks for posting all those photos of that Scenic Cruiser, even though it does not completely resemble the original Cruiser I would be a proud owner of it from the photos.  Many people may not like my Eagle after the changes I have made but I sure will.  That is why we all do our conversions our way, a complete restoration would be another story but most of our coaches are not complete restorations. 

Anyone not attending last week's SEBN rally missed a great, great rally and some real beautiful buses but better beautiful people.  With the fuel cost going to shoot up now that all off shore drilling is haulted you better fill up and go to the closest rallies you can for this year.  I predict that this catastrophe will be the straw that will break the camels back.  I only hope the cost will not go beyone $5 per gallon, what a mess.

God Bless you all, have a great summer or the best you can under the future circumstances that will take place within days.

Photos of the April SEBN rally are being worked on as I write, had to take a break.  I believe because of the above information about off shore drilling being haulted becoming a member of a local campground would be a good option to consider to further enjoy our coaches. 

Gary

Incredible workmanship. A very nice conversion indeed. I have to agree that it took another Scenicruiser out of the loop. But it has that WOW factor!
