From what I can see of Mark's work, it's above all - even the most professional of institutions don't put that kind of heart & soul into anything that's getting converted for $$$... I don't know Mark but his workmanship is totally outstanding...

In this case, amateur is superior than professional.

The interior was professionally done by Paradise Coach Interiors, I only designed it.  I just did the mechanical work, I'm not a woodworker.  The laminate is Wilsonart, high gloss wild cherry.  It comes in semi gloss also.  Laying laminate of this caliber is an art form, and Larry at Paradise is one of the best in the world at it.  The curves are what I wanted, and the front overhead TV cabinet is one of Larry's works of art, compound curves.  With all the granite, stretch to 45', and 8 batteries it weighs around 42,000 plus toad and still gets 8.8 to 9.8 the way I drive it.
The baggage bay liner is just plain old trunk/hull liner, nothing special.
Thanks for the compliments guys.


PS  Larry also did my Silverside, this one in solid wood and it's outstanding too.

Mark, are you coming to the Parump rally in March, and which bus are you bringing? Looking forward to meeting you and seeing your bus.

Still at Fountain Hills Clifford, heading for Tucson tomorrow.  We just drove by your location a couple days ago.  Is it on one of the dirt roads off Dynamite?

Many thanks for the info! Looks like the UK division of Wilsonart doesn't carry that product at all though sadly - they only do the countertop and solid surface range here

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

I deliberately said "amateur" rather than amateur as although I assume he technically did it as an amateur (ie. he wasn't being paid by someone else to do the work), quite clearly his work isn't remotely amateurish

What ever you call it at $150,000 grand, that says it all!
