Longrun
Hello all, some of you may get a laugh out of this project base, but as rough as it is, I have spent a fair amount of time over the years researching such a project and this one seems to be structurally sound, (aside from the vandalism,) mechanically it needs new gas replacing the old gas and new tires, plus some seals are dried out and leaky from being parked too long. The interior has been trashed, I'll be tearing out/down most of it and then shovelling it out at the dump once it's road worthy. But the major body modifications I've aimed at have already been done. Relocated access door, generator compartment where the old door was, under body storage, HUGE water tanks and installed functional plumbing. It won't be easy I know but it's a good start. So enough words, here's some pictures... Dang, thought I could post them straight from my cellphone. I'll share them once I get that figured out.

Aha. Figured out how, but my picks are too wide, been trying to crop them, this may take awhile.

Okay even after cropping some pictures down to size they still won't upload. Don't know if it's the network or just me but I'm frustrated and I have other things to do right now. I'll try again later.

Don't use this site to host the pics.
Use photo bucket.
Hosting them here is a bad idea for so many reasons.

Well the album is there in imgur.com as to figuring out how to edit, crop and transfer the pick to this site, I have a lot of other more pressing matters to deal with. So please click the link if you want to see pictures, I'll use the same album for future developments,. sorry if I seem a little short but I really am an "analog" guy who is actually very disappointed with how this "digital future" has turned out.

Copy and paste the link that Imgur provides for each image into a reply block. This way, you *don't* have to adjust your photos and have them hosted on the server here, which can result in them being lost.

The Nebuchadnezzar, funny thing is yakking with an older dude I know and telling him about the bus, WITHOUT SHOWING him pictures of the bus, he left saying "good luck with the bus Gus" and there is no Gus sounding part of my name.
