the bus looks very nice, I like the updated body kit and the modern headlights. What did they do to the rear?
Brian
Thanks for all the warm welcomes. The back of the bus is nasty, but since this is my first bus Im building it as simple as possible and using what I have. No caps or slides for sure. The side paint is usuable but the front and rear and above windows and window blank out panels will deifinatly get new paint. Already getting quotes.
I plan on this being a use as I build project. And wow what a project it is.

Awesome! Welcome and have fun. Make sure to wear a mask when tearing out the interior. Cannot even begin to describe the "stuff" you will stir up.

And welcome to the Madness
Welcome! That's an '82? Nice update. Mine is an 82, as well. Custom Coach conversion. Love having it. Two long trips so far, and just as happy as if I had Good Sense! 8)

You are in the right place. We're all nuts - bus nuts that is. And I know you will find everyone always ready to help you with problem solving and advice. And you may very well find there are other nearby bus nuts willing to give you a hand when you need an extra set.
Mike
Very nice. Hope you have lots of fun with the project. It is quite an adventure.
Kevin
Good luck on your project. Hope you got a place in the shade! the coach looks good. It looks stout and strong it looks.....damn whats the word? :D
I wish I had shade but instead I got my roof airs mounted, but only two for now.
Hope you kept your hatches usable. :)
Welcome to the nuts. I too have 1982 mc9. I have had it for 9 years. Started from scratch and worked on it in my spare time. for 3 years. Drove it all through conversion time. I live in florida and took long trip out west in 2006. Love the bus. Enjoy your new adventure. Marc

Definatly hatches are usuable makes a big difference to cool bus down when I work on it, I installed 2 roof airs and plan on installing one powered vent 14 by 14 and maybe putting another roof air in its place later if needed.
