Re: 13 fun steps to a skoolie and a toad!
I WANT THE LITTLE GREEN TRUCK! I WANT THE LITTLE GREEN TRUCK! It'a SOOOOOO purty!
(Darn, Can't see the little green truck )
Slick job. Got the style of the older vehicles and the safety of the modern mechanicals. I do think the interior of the bus is too grey. You need to add some small touches of the exterior yellow to the interior (pillows, a throw rug, picture/poster, etc).

COOLEST. THING. EVER. Oh my Dog, oh my Dog, oh my DAWG!
I have been over whelmed by the amount of totally gnarly awesomeness that I just cannot express into words how so bloody cool that is. Seriously, there are not enough words in the English language to say just how awesomecoolwicked that is. I may have to use another language or six entirely.
SHINY.

Re: 13 fun steps to a skoolie and a toad!
Nicely done! That gives me hope that ours will get there, someday.
Tango, thanks for asking about the windows. We're headed to Home Depot tomorrow!!! We were in the process of pricing glass and framing sliders ourselves....this will be so much quicker!

Re: 13 fun steps to a skoolie and a toad!
Love the Depot price but, sadly... it may not work for me. My buses body has a weird alignment between the inner & outer skins that may force me to go with the Peninsula solution (clamp ring type). Ouch.

Excellent work! Was the 13 steps an actual reference to 13 years??

Re: 13 fun steps to a skoolie and a toad!
More like 13 cases of cheap scotch . 6 that got me into all this, 6 that got me back out and one to celebrate Honeysuckle Rose's "completion". Just kidding. It was actually 3 yrs on the bus and about 1 year on the woodie--too much fun! I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Jack

Re: 13 fun steps to a skoolie and a toad!
Tango, did you have any luck at Home Depot? We were told that the S 110 Shed Windows were no longer available for order through Home Depot. They did tell us about some pre-fabbed vinyl windows that will fit our openings, but really want to make sure whether or not the powder coated aluminum ones are available.

Re: 13 fun steps to a skoolie and a toad!
Hey GM --- I have decided to go with custom made RV windows. The way my bus is structured I think I'll be better off with windows that have the full clamp ring type mount. Will be much easier to seal. Prices are all over the place but Peninsula beat the other big name by more than half price wise. They built the tricky window for my home made door and the quality was top notch. And given I only need four, it won't break the bank. Well, not completely anyway.
