Nothing new as of now. I recently finished tearing out the ceiling, walls, floor, and insulation. I'm about to start removing rivets for the top rub rail since that's where I'll be cutting for the roof raise.

The only thing I have to do before I start cutting for the raise is to fabricate and install leveling jacks so I can make sure everything's square before I make any cuts. I'd hate to make what I thought were parallel and perpendicular cuts only to find out that things were racked.

I wasn't able to unlock 6th. Turns out the Allison DOC software doesn't have that ability and the transmission computer does in fact need to be reflashed. I have a plan on how to get it done though. I'll post about it if it works.

If you document any of the roof phrase let me know, I'll be following. Metal is something I don't know when the slightest and one of the few things I'm going to probably have to hire somebody else to do. Thinking I'll call if you welders to come and give me a quote in the next few days and then see about what materials I can grab from the scrap yard

Definitely will.

I just haven't bothered to put anything up thus far since there's already a plethora of info out there about tearing out seats, ceilings, walls, and floors.

And because I haven't decided on a name for it yet, so I don't know what to title a build thread. Haha

I can understand your dilemma. 'Chariot' is too easy, and 'felucca' is too obscure.

And "Rameses' Litter" just doesn't sound right.
