Nicely done.   :D

Someone tried to sell me  a motorhome that looked like that once.  I flew out to take a look pix looked great - what they didn't show in the pictures was that one side was completely missing!!!  AND it had been in a flood.  The guy selling it insisted that he felt I could get it fixed up enough to travel in a couple of days.  ? ?  He was SERIOUS!!! 

Hahaha..  Talk about stick & staples.  That was all that was left.

:D

I know of one in FL that looks a lot like that. I heard it took 3 people to drive it. One to steer, one on the engine to run the throttle, and one to run the brakes (actually, I think he had to run along side with blocks to throw under the wheels to stop it).
Last I saw it, the owner was planning a trip in it. I never heard whether he made his trip or not.

Anyone know what the status of that bus is?  How Jack or Jerry? You guys know anything about that bus?  From Tom's photos, it looked like it might still in the same place.   ::)

Glenn, did you notice the safety triangle at the back (top)? At least this guy's all about safety.

I was the brakeman, I put the wood block under the wheels to stop it. It is still sitting  at Jacks waiting for Jerry to come back and work on it.
