Title: body parts for prevos
Post by: Larry B on December 22, 2011, 06:28:22 PM
In the southern part of Alberta, Canada EH there is a scrap metal dealer with 4 Le Mirag XL models in his yard. these will some day soon be crushed. There are a lot of good body parts for those looking. He is easy to deal with.

Really got to watch Prevost sheeting they are year sensitive year to year on spacing on ribs. recent experience between a 89 and a 91 XL both seated 40 ft coaches were different.  I got door off 91 for Steve and when he got home said ribs did not match, Lucky his old skin top half was good.

You would be suprised at the replacement costs for new panels they are reasonable. The bay doors skins are split under the rub rail and from there down those skins are small and easy to remove.

Left and right front radius and center (so the entire front) with rivits is under 1000 new from prevo.

Have actually figured out dyes to press ribs into siding. Still have to do one at a time.  60 inch length limit. Still not where I want it but 10 ft away looks like original. Hobby to me ;local sheet metal guy showed me how  to build dyes for his press. Just cost of stainless.   Bob

Don't forget our friends at IBP industries.

They match everyone's ribbing, old GM, old/new MCI and Prevost.
