Title: Next Project, On Deck...
Post by: coachconverter on January 22, 2008, 07:13:12 PM
If that Prevost restoration wasn't enough, here's the next one in line.  This bus, God-willing, will serve as our demo unit, someday when the schedule and top-line permits.

Wish me luck!

Yes Nick, hopefully a much easier job to get it moving under it's own power.  The trouble with this one is the ceiling height, about 77 inches.  Enough room to walk in, but really not as high as it needs to be.  We'll be cutting the roof bows and applying a factory raised roof kit on it, no small task.  Requires all new bows, drip rails, roof panel, transition cap in the front and all new rear cap and some framing changes on the rear wall.  But in the end, should be worth it, a low mileage vehicle too.

What happened to it   ??? ???

I'm guessing a tire fire?


Best wishes on the project.

77" isn't bad to start for ceiling height, I'd be happy if my coach had that much
