C'mon! you're from Tn.-I bet you can SEE a Waffle House from where you're sitting! ( Charley-its a chain of 24 hour resturants- they have one off EVERY exit on the hiways down south. And somehow its always the same woman working in each one...."MORNING!!" )

Damn-now I want some hash browns-covered smothered +scattered-and the closest one to me is 7 hours south...

Re: 1995 Ford Eldorado Shuttle bus

Just bought myself a wheelchair lift to install in the rear of the bus.
AMF Linear lift.
It can pull 400kg or about 800 pounds.
It should be strong enough to lift my Fat boy.

The weather is not so good so I stil cannot work on the bus.
Maybe next week?
I will keep you all posted my friends

"Dry heat" is used to make jerky ..... so watch out and stay hydrated

Up side is I don't seem to sweat much out here. David says it dries before it can do any good. We drink lots of water and I take baths in GoldBond lotion!

Re: 1995 Ford Eldorado Shuttle bus

Rain,rain and rain again ! !
I get depressed by looking out the window.
It is going to be more rain the next 2 weeks.
Before we know it we are in the winter again.

It's a shame that I don't have a big garage or barn to work on the bus.
So I do my night shifts 7 days a week.
That's keeping me also busy for the moment.
Maybe next weekend we will go to an American meeting not far from where we live.
Every year they the guy's from Speed shop have a "Spring meeting" with American cars and bikes.
I am going to ask them if I can ship the fender flair via the shop on their container.
It can be a solution to have the part cheaper than posting the thing.
We will see.

I am of to work now.

Re: 1995 Ford Eldorado Shuttle bus

Hello guy's,
Today I did some braking down of the interior.
The rain has stopped for a few hours so it was time to do some work.

The inside center panel is in the way for the restoration so I had to remove it.
This gives me a clear vieuw in the bus and my wife an I were overloaded with idea's on how we are going to build up the interior again.

I have a few picts for you.

When I was taking the photo's, it started to rain again so I had to stop.

Re: 1995 Ford Eldorado Shuttle bus

Hello guy's and girls,
I am working on our bus.
Still stripping some more things of the interior.
I've seen that there are rotten holes in the floor so we have to replace the floor with new waterproof wooden panels.
How are you all doing over there in the States?
I will show some picts later this week.

Greetzzz
Charley

Charley! Was wondering where you been. Fill us in-polishing the Airstream? Herding flamingos? Out on the bike?
