Thank you, but that windshield is sharp! I love it. Mine took me a while, I'm not accustomed to welding or metal work. Good luck, Crown conversations are a pain.

Our 74' crown has a 250 Cummins with a 5 speed and the hills of Ohio slow us down. Also, our top speed is only 55/60. We make it work though. Good luck.

Thank you everyone. I try to do things right. Only problem with that is, I'm the one deciding what is right. It wasn't that tricky raising the roof, the only part I recall cursing was the windshield....

Per usual, it's been a while.
I've insulated, begun wiring and plumbing, installed diesel heater, generator, batteries, inverter/charger, and shower. It's been... you know.
I hope to have the...

Hi again. This is a bit of a jump in time here, but better than nothing. I finished the roof raising (remaking the windshield was by far the worst part). I still need to make a better door, and paint...
