First of all I want to thank Paul (our picture posting guru) for posting our bus pictures.

Wayne, we are looking forward to out first rally with the new paint, can't wate to see you guys, Clifford sure hate it you are not going to be there.

As for the Serta/8-92 repower it sold before we got home. Might have been for the best. Sandi said we needed paint worse.

Thanks again, Bob

I was just wondering I may have you a 8v92 with a 740 Toby Henson a friend of mine in Phoenix is repowering his 05 with a John Deere 6125 engine and B500 tranny he told me I could have the engine and tranny for the use of my shop so I'll pass it on to you for the same price.
