After 3 coats of liquid rubber I still have 3/4 of a bucket full it is going to be thick. I wasn't sure if it was going to work properly on metal but I am happy. Getting Smurfed. I had to open all the windows just to take a picture it was too dark.

I've only seen one on a ford diesel forum. Took a long time. Ended up with a water over air mounted under the the cab. These things are already 10 lbs of *hit in a 5 lb package- no spare room for all the extra plumbing.

I have had these lockers for many many years, i dont think i can leave them behind, but they are too tall. I just may chop it in half to use for storage in the rear.

My wheel well is in the way if i had a longer bus it would work really good. Cutting it in half seems to be my only option or just buy smaller ones. But i dont want to buy new one's i want mine will see.

Gettin started on my radio & comm. Center going to split it in half. one side will be cb, scanner & stereo. The other side will be storage im going to cut the lift door that was on their previously in half & just reuse it im trying to recycle much of the bus as possible.

be sure your radios dont get too hot up in the top like that... or have a fan where you can cool them down... modern gear isnt like the old.. it will just shut off then you have to wait forever to use it.. Grrr..
