Yea and it looks like the church didn't do any prep work on thier paint job. Not to mention all the scrapes and dings the church put in it. Nothing a little welding and grinding cant fix. Plus a thick layer of elastomeric paint.

I am back at it after a break. I am now removing rust from the floor and putting down Ospho. Its a long process. I haven't taken any pictures as of yet. I also have drafted my 12VDC system and my layout.

A twisted wire wheel on a grinder plus elbow grease and a filthy pair of coveralls..... Finally i put a coat of Ospho. I am almost done with the weld prep on the floor. I had a ton of rust. Slowly working towards the finish line. 😊

After a busy couple of months at work. I am finally back working on the bus. I did a little work here and there. I wire wheeled 5he entire floor. Osphoed the floor. Primed the floor with Rustolium heavy rusted primer. Patched large sections of the floor. Sealed the seams. Primed again and then finally today I was able to lay the topcoat of Rustolium paint.

Great work!! I also had to stop on the inside and start working on the outside because of leaks!!
I sealed up a few of the problem Windows but they're still leaking so i guess it's time to figure out if it's coming from the drip edge as well.
You really don't mess around when you say you're gonna spend time on the bus. It's looking and coming along great!

Wow, good job. You had to replace more flooring than I did.
Looks great.

That is a lot of patching. I will have to do some myself. Hopefully not anywhere near that much. More ceiling tin? Better than selling it for 4 cents a pound. Should have kept a few of my seats. I'll reuse the ceiling panels. I wonder if I can get them fully flat. I wouldn't mind redoing the entire floor. Rust proof the original then cover with ceiling panels and repeat.

Thanks all for the cudos... I used some of the removed interior pannels for the patching. Wayne used heavy duty steel panels all throughout the bus. I am trying to reuse all of the metal I can.

With the leaking windows I did have to fully pull them and seal everything. I had water coming in around the frames. . It is a little extra work but you get a sealed bus.

I finally found my insulation and ordered it on Amazon. I am using 1.5" Rock Wool Panels. They are rated to 2000deg F and ate not susceptible to moisture problems. The main reason is they are 100% safe. No offgassing.

I understand that modern rockwool is much improved over older glass insulation. I was always worried about dust, like in the glass insulation.

Modern spray foam doesn't seem to off gas like the old stuff, and it's non flammable. I did used some styrofoam panels which I guarantee won't hold up to the heat from a match.

My windshield was dripping on the inside. I have't seen ANY leaks elsewhere. The floor (rust) has stayed dry since the plywood was ripped out.

Got a link handy? Sounds like something that the gf would be all over especially if it's all natural and real wool.

GREAT job!!!!
That's the same system of rust repair/paint I use.
For exterior- add a hardener to the paint, and use a clear over it and it will last a long time!

Depending where you live it may be special order. It is readily available in the north. I had to get it from Amazon to avoid buying twice the amount needed. Home Depot and Lowes would only it to sell me in bulk...

Well that's jacked up. Does MD count as the north? I didn't see anything about bulk on their website. Not that I'm ready to buy anything anyway.
