Just posting some pics of Super Betty...she looked good the other morning, nestled into her driveway, so i took some pictures of her.  I have shown you guys what she looked like since we removed all the windows, re-skinned, installed the new RV windows and installed the 22' awning.  Still need to get my center awning arm support.  That was an option from the RV place, but i don;t think it should be an option, it should be required...its needs it.  Anyway, she made it on 2 trips with anything actually happening that has stopped us along side the road......so that's a lot better outlook than i had on her when we got her April 17th!!  She's scheduled for a manual air leveling system install in 1 week, then we'll be off to MIS for the August race.  Then we can slow down and get her roof deck built and fine tune......a lot of stuff.

yea, that's lil' betty.....she was actually our old skoolie stop sign we converted...durning the conversion.  When she was on the skoolie she lit up, flashed, and everything....just like the normal stop sign...she was a classic, and really new how to bring them out!!!  She even had a small bout with some super rent-a-cops who thought they were REAL cops.....and decided on a NASCAR infield that our LIL' Betty was offensive....and they actually made us unbolt her from the bus, unwire it, and they took her for the rest of the weekend.  We had to fight to get her back...but we got her.   Now I'm rigging her up to stand in the passengers side windshield and give people a show.  I haven't got it quite designed...I think I have to make her sold she folds down during travel so she doesn't obstruck the veiw to the mirrors while heading down the road.  But it a quick flip she can be up...showing her goods.
