Slightly longer version of the story.....

Covid shut downs have caused a lot of chaos throughout the world. In my profession, security is paramount, and loss of worktime when we are already short staffed has lead to mandatory overtime and excessive burnout of the healthy employees. It has also given cause for the supervisory staff to implement policy change that will change the landscape of retirement for most who work here. Fortunately, I'm in my last year, so very little effect on me, except that I will not have an easy road my last year. Combining all those changes with the more normal circumstances changing life's time line, and I have a recipe for chaos unfolding. The next 5 year outlook has changed enough in the last month that I am looking at finishing this job, and possibly taking on a business, along with getting my last child through high school and out my door to take over that business. All of this plan leaves me with near zero time to complete a conversion of a full size bus. Fortunate for me, I have a line on a E450, 7.3L vintage turtle shell type bus that I can finish in a few months to use on the rare occasion I can get away. 5-6 years should see me at a place where I will have the time to complete a full size bus conversion. Busses sitting for years is the worst thing for them. I would rather this bus go out and get used, instead of waiting around for me to have time for it.

Do you happen to have any pictures of it? Also, do you mind if I ask what part of Nevada?

There are some pics in my build thread; I guess I should post some more in this thread.

I'm in east central Nevada, right in the middle of nowhere, I'm not at the end of the world, but I can see it from here!

I'll work on getting more pics up in the next day or two.
