Ok, so I had to get your attention.

But I thought you'd all enjoy the pictures of this bus being unloaded this morning.

Todd,

    If that prevost runs I think it was the one Nick was lookin for to take to the Prevost gathering.

   Maybe you could cut him a good deal on the rental :)

  Nick  maybe bamboo curtains over the windows for privacy?

Now that's funny

   I'm sure you'd get best of breed

  Come on Dallas a bus is waiting for your artisitc touch

   Todd,  I admire a man who can take on such a project.
  I'm sure the skins and windows will cost you more than the bus.

good luck and show a picture or two as it is worked on

Hey Everyone,

It's actually a customer's bus and yes, the skins for it cost almost twice what the bus did.  Not to mention Prevost RV sliders, $4800 each from Prevost, luckily I found someone with extras - what are the odds?

I bought a 99 H3-45 near San Diego and drove out to strip all the baggage doors and dash out of it, that saved a small fortune too.

Anyways, it's been a huge project already, and many months to go!

I'm curious if the customer is really going to save any money in the long run with all the parts and labor over a running shell?  There must be burned buses out there that didn't get quite as crispy as that one.
