Pretty close to being fully gutted on the inside of my bus, I just have some random questions before I go farther.
I plan on taking all the windows out and sheeting over, same as you would do for a roof raise but my bus is short and 6' 5" inside so not doing a raise (Hope I don't regret that!). But my question is every video I watch even Chuck's roof raise videos, everyone puts the bottom of the sheet metal inside/underneath the bumper rail. But looking on my bus today the bottom window flange goes on top/over the bumper rail? Which seems correct to me for just overlapping common sense. What am I missing here?
Second question is after gutting the walls I realized the chair rails are part of the stucture and have to stay, the issue is there's insulation and junk down there and it's impossible to get out since it's caught on the screws. I didn't find one video or thread where someone talks about getting that crap out. Is everyone just leaving it in there?
