Re: Unique Eagle with garage above engine
I would sure like to see photos of the conversion - especially how the frame structure was modified. I suspect the rear axle and bogey are over loaded.
I have done a lot of thinking about this bus and tend to ask myself: why?

Re: Unique Eagle with garage above engine
I have been following the new owner of this Eagle on YouTube. One of the most recent posts is: LINK
He is a racer with what looks like a Corvette C6 drift car (not my idea of racing).
He has posted several YouTubes on the bus and as I watch them I get even more concerned about the integrity of this Eagle. In addition to the very large overhang, the lift gate and rear doors appear to be very heavy. Then to top that off, they load the bus with a huge amount of spare parts and consumables.
If the suspension is stock Eagle, it is grossly overloaded.
