This is the temporary electrical feed. I knew there were ghosts in this bus. Can you see it?

Back to the closet. You can see that the wheel hump has been insulated. I put a face frame (3/4 birch plywood) on the front. The black area you see is where the hump ended and there was flat floor. I basically built a box and lined the inside with black trunk mat carpet. Once again, I used the spray...

This is the front room work site. On the right you can see the furnace I removed and sold. Some guy drove 200 miles to come and get it. I guess $50 was a good price. On the left are two long curtains made of heavy material. I mounted them on tracks to isolate the bedroom which is in the middle of th...

It was still cold when we started working on this project, so I was using those camp heaters that you see on the floor. You can also see one of the removed bunk trays and the water tank. I moved the water tank to under the fridge. Now to the wood/coal stove. I found it on craigslist. It was only $20...

The bus and my little pickup truck.

A big mess was had by all!

The cabinet you see in the foreground stayed, as well as the one directly across from it (out of view). The bunk trays and mattress pads are gone. One of the first building projects we did was build a large closet area with drawers on the passenger's side and a big shelf on top. You can see some of ...

DBURT, There's lots more to come. I got off work early today and will be putting some more posts up. Thanks for responding. I have the Rolling Homes book. Those are some marvelous masterpieces in there.

Originally, there was a diesel generator installed in the rear of the bus. It was not there when I bought the bus. My friend Donnie made a slide out tray on which I set the 4.0 Onan that I removed from the Dodge motorhome. There are wires already in that bin so I can hook up the gen. to the power pa...

View of the front passenger side. One more metal tray to remove. It is over the wheel hump. It has been replaced with a dog bed, which you saw in an early pic. I'll get more into details of that later.

This is one control desk that was removed. It was located directly behind the driver's seat so all one had to do was turn the seat around and use the desk. There were a bunch of wires going to it. 110 and 12 volt as well. Now I have to figure out where to route all those wires. http://i32.tinypic.co...

Here is the white steering wheel and simple dash gages. The wood trim around the gages has been replaced with a nice stained wood that now goes all the way across the dashboard. The seat has been replaced. On the horn button, it reads, "Ross cam and lever steering". The door is air actuate...

A weight placard.

These are the power panels located in the kitchen, next to the stove. Electrical is not my forte and I will have to figure out how to hook up generator, shore line, and 12 volt systems. Oh Joy!

Here is a pic of the bus taken by the seller at his place.
