Re: Here is my 1990 volunteer

best way is to start a photobucket account. however you get them up there though you will get the image url for it. ex http://www.myimages.com/happypicture.jpg (just a dummy link, doesnt work lol) Well copy that url and then when you are posing in here there is a |IMG| button along the top of the type box. then you hit that IMG button and paste the image URL in between the IMG /IMG tags. then when you post it will show the picture


on photobucket when you browse to the picture there is a list of tags. just copy the one that has the [img] tag already on it and paste it in here without adding the img tag step.

Re: Here is my 1990 volunteer

Well I ran the injectors thru my ultra sonic cleaner and dried them out good, bench tested them and they clicked, put them back in bus fired right up. Now gotta work on the power steering and finding that annoying alarm that's going off.

Re: Here is my 1990 volunteer

Here is what I'm thinking on the inside, give me your opinions please! I'm thinking of doing the ruff cut cider on the walls and ceiling. I love the look, but not sure if the smell will be to strong to handle, what's yalls thoughts? Also this bus has insulation in the walls and ceiling, do you think I should put insulation behind the cider? I have a roof mount ac out of a 25 ft camper and plan to use wood for heat, not gonna live in it, just some camping in winter and summer. Winters here normally no lower than 25 and summer heats around 95/100, should I insulates?

Re: Here is my 1990 volunteer

Sorry I posted cypress but mean cider, I'm going with the roof mount ac and blocking off some windows, but not all. The reason I was wanting to go with the cider was I can get the 6 ft ones fir .55 cents and 8 footers for .75 cents a board. Pretty cheap and looks nice

Urs looks nice by the way

Re: Here is my 1990 volunteer

Okay that's just brilliant. Can you adjust the top lvl to get hotter or colder or do you just remove/add coals?
