First trim pieces in place.
I'm going to have to pull all this stuff out again to paint it. Sigh.

Man, so exciting to see your bus come together after all the work you put in to get rid of the rust!
Great job!!

Slow going but I managed to trim my lintel at least. This was just a spacer piece and I can't for the life of me remember why it was necessary.
So happy a past version of me bought a band saw.
This curved top piece should look better once it's painted.
Since the door opens outward, these trim pieces overlap the jamb by about 1/4" to prevent air getting through the gap between door and frame. It will make the opening a tiny bit smaller.

Thanks very much, I appreciate it. Feels good to be working on this again after a nine month hiatus.

my collins bus has panel latches that by design act like they are spring loaded but they are not but to open the access panel you just flip the latch open and to close the panel you just flip the latch back over edge of the hatch.
pretty heavy duty and shouldnt be to expensive.
maybe try collins website or busparts.com for collins panel latches?
maybe thats what they are called.

These are what I have already: https://www.mcmaster.com/draw-latche...-draw-latches/. Maybe they're similar to what you have on your bus?

Some ceiling panel seam trim. I kind of like the Tudor-style of this trim, even though I'll be painting it white eventually. It's just too cheap and nasty up close to work as bare wood.
Lintel trim for the side door.
Finished the side door trim.
I cracked the oak strike plate I made for this latch, need to redo it tomorrow. I'm also going to have to attach some wood to the door to fill this gap that was needed to allow the latch mechanism to swing past.

Wait-you've done all this with a manual screwdriver?? Do you use slotted screws too? That's painful to think about.
