Excellent! How much did they run you and how many did you have made?

Lol. That's how it works right? All week long is the best weather you can ask for (when your at work) and then the weekend comes....

Those rib extensions look great! Use a good zinc loaded anti corrosion paint anywhere you expose unprotected metal!

Also, take your time and wait for the weather to cooperate. Nothing worse than watching steel turn rusty as you look at it.

You should totally change the name of your bus to NO HAIRSPRAY!!!!

Nice progress. Why take out the windows right now? If you only have 3 days of good weather, aren't you worried about the inside??

We took the windows out a long time ago when the wether was ok and we were hoping to get the roof raised and skin on super fast ....., then the bipolar Colorado decided to play a nasty game of sunny storm combo days ...

Why do you think so many of us have our wallets on a chain?
