Here's  cpl pics I got this week and looks like it is the same part Buswarrior is talking about.

Is this yours, or sample pics?

Typically, all that metal framework is rotted in the fronts of MC8's to one degree or another.

happy coaching!

Yep that's mine.  I didn't see it in person but from the pics, I think I'm pretty lucky.  He told me that until the front panel is taken off, it's hard to tell how much rust/damage is underneath which would jack the prices up. 

He didn't say anything when he sent me those pics so maybe I'm okay.

My bus was converted in 98 so I guess its possible that they had to do some work on the front then.

ouch, is the plan to replace with original sheeting? That can put some $$ on the bill for sure. hope it goes well.

I could only afford 2 colors and that's the lower color.  I'm getting a darker aqua teal-ish on upper portion.  I tried to think ocean/beach theme so will see.  All my friends think I'm making it Miami dolphins colors since that's my team but I didn't try to haha.  I told them, don't worry you won't see a 13 in orange and white on the side!!!
