Just a thought. Seems like everyone is always jonesin' to get rid of those bus seats. Hmm, if you ever want to put anything on the roof, all those seats have strong legs and flanges for bolting. Seems like it might be worth cutting off those legs and keeping them for future roof projects. They would be great for supporting an upper deck or anything you wanted secured on the curved roof. Just a thought before your next trip to the junk yard to toss the seats.

That's an excellent idea, I wish I would have thought of that before dumping the seats.

Thanks Ken, I'll look for old bus seats and do just that.

I'm sure you all know this already, but the legs on the seats(at least my wayne seats) will unbolt. You can then put two sets of legs on a seat and use it wherever you like and not rely on the side rail. This also takes care of leveling issues when you put flooring down.
