Re: The Cockabus
It's shaping up pretty nicely. So what's the outside going to look like?

Re: The Cockabus
Your bus is beautiful!!! What a transformation from the start. Keep up the most excellent work and continue sending pictures. Where did you acquire the drivers seat?

Re: The Cockabus
Well as with several others, I saved your pics to my personal files for reference and ideas. I am not as creative as I thought I was but when I see other ideas, they flood thru my cranium. I mean I have a lot of ideas but when I see the many variations of them thru everybodies pictures and then more extreme creativity on top of that, I know my journey is cut out for me (and that I'm not totally crazy). It will be a long hard journey but when the wagon trains (busses LOL) circle together someday, I know I will be welcomed. LOL

Re: The Cockabus
WOW!! What a difference so far. I have a compressor and since today (2/9) is my birthday, I had the wife take me to Harbor Freight over the weekend for my gift...a SPRAYER!!!! Now comes the best part... learning how to use it properly since all the painting I've ever done has either been with many spray cans, rollers or brushes.
Keep up the good work.

Re: The Cockabus
I have power pointed many of my plans. And they have been revised several times already. I am not the type of person who has to for work, but both my vehicles now have a tape measure in them and I carry one on my belt with pen & paper. I am a fanatic with taking pictures with my camera phone. The item and the sticker with the prices on it.

Re: The Cockabus
nice job. really like what you did with your dashboards and drivers are. Even carpet on the floor, wow, looks good.
I'm jealous of you temperatures, we're lucky if we get that in summer time. I wish we could be working on the bus in winter time.

Re: The Cockabus
I like the design, but have a couple questions. How does the table stand up and where do you put it while not in use?
