Smile It begins 07 Thomas MVP-EF Purchased Today

Howdy, I just bought a 37ft Thomas flat nose bus with a 5.9l Cummins and Allison 2500 transmission, some rust but not bad. My wife(30) and I(26)will begin with a roof raise first of March and hope to keep the build moving very quickly. We would like to be done by mid summer. I’m not sure if I’ll document everything here yet or not, I will if there’s enough interest but I’m not sure how active this site is anymore.

Welcome Aaron! IDK how busy compared to when and what, but it's active enough. It's not FB (x, snap, insta, tt, you name it) which is a good thing IMO. People come and go....

PS - start a build thread and post pics ;>)

IMHO. Start your build, post then see if it suits you. I don't think you will find better advice, problem solutions, or help any where. I you are looking for cash, do a youtube or other to post vids and link your build to them. Depends on what you are after - views, doc, or cash. One thing the doc will do for you is act to reinforce your memory, provide some sort of operating manual or blueprint and help with any remodel or sale when/if you decide to sell further down the road. If you are planning on doing piss poor work and taking every short cut then you shouldn't doc it or youtube it.... or build it.
