Re: Searching for the nebuchadnezzar
Had a busy day but managed to start removing some seats, refined my technique, it's going pretty well. Could someone tell me what type of charger should I use to keep the batteries charged, I'm actually not sure if its 12v or 24v?

Re: Searching for the nebuchadnezzar
I'd like to share some pics but as you can see I'm failing miserably, what am I doing wrong?

Re: Searching for the nebuchadnezzar
A little re-cap, got the Nebuchadnezzar home on Friday, took months to complete the buy since the title was missing from First Student's records, so the 10 min. ride home was somewhat anti-climatic. I've started removing seats (thank you China Freight angle grinder), I think 10 rows are gone on one side, helped me feel like I've started the conversion, patience isn't my strong suit. So all is good and I will try to be patient as the metamorphosis takes place. I want to be able to go off grid when we want to so much planning is going into the solar system.

Re: Searching for the nebuchadnezzar
Thanks Laurel they were delicious.
I've been wondering why so many folks take their ceilings down, they are already insulated, is it merely to change the material for ascetics?

Re: Searching for the nebuchadnezzar
Its because they are insulated poorly and there is often rust or mold or both built up in there.
Plus re-paneling in wood or something other than steel gives a much cozier, homier feel. Just my 2cents on ceiling removal. I'll be taking mine down later this week once the side panels are out. Whats been behind the panels so far is absolutely disgusting and I'll reseal everything then spray foam insulate it.

Re: Searching for the nebuchadnezzar
My Ward is an AmTran and it looks the same except I don't have the aluminum trim strip. I"ll bet yours is like mine spot welded all along the top of the side panels. I ended up using an air chisel and carefully peeling away the top part. worked really really well. I can post pics tomorrow if that will help.

Re: Searching for the nebuchadnezzar
Had a bit of a gift today mid 50's here in CT, nice to be able to be able to open the Neb's doors and windows while angle grinding . Seats out, side panels coming down, couple more to go, a good skoolie day!
