Wayne, omg, I haven't been on in a while. You have the most amazing eye for detail. What a beautiful SET of busses. Great craftmaship not to mention the endless amount of dineroes in it. Amazing bus. Can't wait to see the inside of this one judging by the chassis it going to be one for a grand marshal.

Now I'm going to have to find my depression meds...lol....

Hi Darrin how are things in Texas? Just been to busy to stop and take pictures. The stuff I have been working on does not get covered up so I don't take pictures. I guess that is not fair to the guys that don't get to see it. A year ago I said it would be done by Branson this year well that didn't happen. The minute you but a deadline on something time speeds up. I can see the end of the 12 year project coming. The biggest problem I had and that cost me a lot of time was finishing the wood. I used Maple and found out that it is very hard to finish. One board can have many different grains in it. When I tried to rub stain on it would blotch and look like hell. After many different methods we came up with spraying the color on, but you can only do small parts as the overspray has to be controlled. Thus it took a long time to finish the wood. We are 98% done with that. Now it is a lot of odds and ends and testing of systems. I am starting to look for a place to have it painted. I will try and get some things posted.

We went to Nacogdoches Texas after the Branson rally to talk to those folks. Nice people looks like they do good work but can't get to it until next July. We will go to Hemet California next week to talk to One Extreme. I have a history with Alberto as he was the man that did all the art work on my first bus. He worked for The Paint Department at the time and now owns his own shop. This man is amazing with paint. We will see if he can do it or wait on the guys it Texas. If Alberto can't do it I will go to Washington and talk to Mike and seed what he has to offer.
