I got insurance from Progressive today- $254 per year, minimum required liability.
The only requirement (not verified, but by my own statement) was that the majority of seats be removed.

You've got a belly bin! Kind of jealous, cause it's real nice to have a place to put your chainsaw, and fuel/ chemicals, and the like, w/o worrying too much about spillage and leakage.

It's been awhile, but we're still at it!

Well, it's great to see all of you on here still living the dream.
It's been about 5 years since I last visited here, so I thought I'd do that while I'm living the civilized life (for the moment).

Re: insulating hood?

Not at all a waste of time. The more precise you can insulate the firewall, the better. The doghouse and trans. cover too. It really does help with the noise and the heat in the Summer, too.

Re: adding rear deck

If I'm seeing it right, the only welding Smitty did on the frame was at the very end of it, which is perfectly alright. That won't jeopardize the structural integrity, especially with the weld spot...

The technique that works best for me is drilling them. It goes quick enough. The only thing that sucks in my opinion, is the bits of metal that get all over you when you're drilling them overhead. I...

Re: VonRock's Hypothetical Bus

Hi-
Regarding the bus at R.M.B.S., considering the format and condition, the price isn't TOO far off, especially them being dealers.
The fact that they dropped the price such a substantial chunk...

Re: My 1990 Ford E-350 Goshen Bus

Alright! Looks homey. The evil blackberry takes pretty good pics- nothing looked distorted.
Is it me, or is the handle placed higher than usual?

Re: moving a sink

I second what Smitty said- especially regarding the electric box. That looks dangerous as hell. Aside from that, I cringed when I saw how they cut through one of the ribs in routing the plumbing...

I seem to see a lot of options in your neighboring state to the South- Colorado. Sometimes for seemingly good deals, too. One time I saw a nice looking older 4x4 bus for under 3K... food for thought....

Re: CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME PLEASE HOW TO INSTALL EXHAUST BRAKE?

That's WAY out of my league, and I don't really know which direction to point you. Maybe a big rig diesel forum. I imagine only a very small handfull here even have jakes. Good luck to you.

Well, progress isn't very impressive, but I took pics nonetheless. 18 out of 22 seats removed. The weather is a good bit nicer right now. I found a whopping $.16 while cleaning the bus.
