That is a fine looking machine, looks like you enjoy this passtime?


Your shop must help big time out there, wish mine would fit in mine sometimes.

Not sure what you mean. The bus walls naturally slope in. Was just how it's built. I'll take some comparison photos. In person you can barley see the grade. It's very very minor. On the inside the curve when it means the roof line

Did the slope affect your roof raise significantly?

The tiny slope didn't affect the raise, do need to account for it thou. Every bus could be different on that aspect thou. My window frames were made to match the slope. I'll post a pic in separate reply


When in doubt cut it out lol. I hope that answers your question
