Re: Buster

Nice find!

I was wondering about our roof vent too. I have thought about putting a vent fan in it's place, but haven't decided for sure yet.

You have a beautiful bus there and I don't blame you for wanting to keep as much of the original character as possible! Looks like you have an awesome team of helpers too. :)

Re: Department of Corrections Bus

I believe my wife and I have decided on a name for our DoC bus. Due to my wife's Norwegian roots we went with the Norwegian word for prosperity which is Velstand. Since we have decided on this name...

Re: Department of Corrections Bus

We worked on the bus a good bit this weekend, but not much that you can tell from pics. I scrubbed her down on Sunday, which took a pretty big part of the day. She cleaned up pretty well! However,...
