the bus looks very nice, I like the updated body kit and the modern headlights.  What did they do to the rear?

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. The back of the bus is nasty, but since this is my first bus Im building it as simple as possible and using what I have. No caps or slides for sure. The side paint is usuable but the front and rear and above windows and window blank out panels will deifinatly get new paint. Already getting quotes.
I plan on this being a use as I build project. And wow what a project it is.

Awesome! Welcome and have fun. Make sure to wear a mask when tearing out the interior. Cannot even begin to describe the "stuff" you will stir up.

Hi yo silver

Welcome!  That's an '82? Nice update.  Mine is an 82, as well.  Custom Coach conversion.  Love having it.  Two long trips so far, and just as happy as if I had Good Sense! 8)

Welcome!

You are in the right place.  We're all nuts - bus nuts that is.  And I know you will find everyone always ready to help you with problem solving and advice.  And you may very well find there are other nearby bus nuts willing to give you a hand when you need an extra set.

Welcome to the nuts. I too have 1982 mc9. I have had it for 9 years. Started from scratch and worked on it in my spare time. for 3 years. Drove it all through conversion time. I live in florida and took long trip out west in 2006. Love the bus. Enjoy your new adventure. Marc
