Sharkey, I still have the seats. There was only one red one. In the picture above, I used one of the ones that you are looking directly at as the driver's seat. In the picture below, you can see two matching black ones with grey cloth. I am not "seat savvy", so I have no idea what they cam...

It is late now and I am growing weary. I will try to get some more stuff posted in the morning before work. Keep on bussin' Rudy

This desk is on the driver's side in the front room. But now, all the chairs and table are gone. I also removed the fold down lid. Now here is where I got really lucky. See that cabinet door up above? Well, guess what, It is 19 inches wide. (So what?)some might say. I will tell you how overjoyed I w...

We started with the front room. I should tell you now about my helper. On Saturdays and Sundays we work on the bus. His name is Shawn and he is quite a craftsman. I have known him for 10 years. For three years, he and I did land surveying. Often times we were in the woods doing boundary searches. It...

I have two storage bays. One on each side of the bus. They are about 5 feet wide, 2.5 feet deep and 1.5 feet tall.

Music night has ended and I still have an hour of awake time, so here are more photos. These are the original bunks. There were two on each side of the bus mounted midships. HA HA, I sound like a nautical guy now. The view you have here is looking forward and those two bunks on the driver's side. Th...

Stuart, I am using Audiodesk 1.05. It came with the Motu 828 which I got a few years ago. For mastering, I use an old program called Amadeus II. I use a ten year old iMac (ruby) 400 mghz computer. I am running OS9.1. Sure it is slow, but it is a lot better than splicing tape. I have a stereo tube mi...

I gotta go now because it is music night and the guys will be here soon. I forgot to mention that the fuel tank is 60 gallons. I would like more but do not have the room for it. I will post a few more pics in the morning before I go to work. Keep on Bussin' Rudy

This is how it looked when I got it. Notice the black plastic dashboard. It now has a new splendor which you will see in future pictures.

This is looking towards the rear of the bus. There were two fold down desks with bolted down office chairs in front of them. The hideous flourescent ceiling lights are now gone. I took out eight of those car seats and saved one for the driver's seat.

This was the table area directly behind the driver's seat. The wood that you see was one of the command centers. It was removed as well as all you see here. There will be a photo of that desk. I ended up replacing the original driver's seat with one of the car seats that you see in the foreground. i...

Here you see the 1979 Dodge class c that I lived in for three years. Next to it is the bus. Behind them is a 1953 trailer that I lived in for five years. Notice the temporary propane tank to run the heater. It was still cold then.

Sharkey, I think I forgot the img tags. I will try again. I have photoshop on my Mac, but I have to get it and my pc laptop communicating with each other. A friend is going to help me with that. That way, I can manipulate the photos to size. The Mac is solely dedicated to the recording studio, and t...

Bill I am sure it would be wise to replace all of the hoses, which I will do. I will read the info on air brakes. Periodic inspections? Hmm. I must learn what they are. Hurricane. Reminds me of living in Connecticut and seeing a very large tree getting uprooted and falling on the neighbor's garage a...

Bill, I see you had some luck with making that guitar into an avatar. I tried, this morning, to upload a photo of an accordion that I had cropped in Picasa program on my computer. I then uploaded it to Tinypic and resized it there(80 by 100 pixels). Then I followed Sharkey's instructions, but it wou...
