I just ordered a rear emergency door seal online from school bus parts, which was waaay over priced, but they did throw in a pack of delicious cookies to ease the pain, thanks jenny you sounded like a lovely young lady.
Now the question for the ones who are smarter than me, how should i stick it on.?
This expensive door seal didnt even come with a sticky strip. How what is the best way to stick it.? Please & thanks.

ThanksCabinbus i will look into it
Random pickinzs..
neighborhood kids linger around my shorty, i heard the pretty police lady talking to 2 her co-workers about my bus while i was inside working on it, when they were dealing with the irratic neighbor,
I had a car full of Ebony chicks stop in the middle of the road while i was working on the roof hatch & ask what you doin wit dat buz.? Thats a good idea they said, & drove off. Everyone of all races & ages love school buses.

Drove it to work & went to my paraglide club soo many wild flowers.

BUCKY LASEK-
Never in a million year's would i think BUCKY LASEK would walk into work & ask for some work done. Amazing & shocked i used to play his character as a kid on video games. How cool.

My first time out with my cheap lil Tesoro I found an 1855 Spanish 5 cent piece and a 1911 wheat. I love going out with a jay and a metal detector and killing a sunday morning or afternoon.
Sounds like you do REAL well with your metal detecting!

Been kind of lazy lately, or maybe it is just because of the Allergies, my GOD this season has been the worst in my life history, constant headache, stuffed up, sneezing & shear misery for over a month.
It has been almost a full year since I started this project insane how fast years fly by now day's. recycled all wire out of the bus, got a little bit of cash back. Fuel, Grass or Ass either way it is getting spent.
