Very cool, I still am envious of the rotisserie. Belly pan, huh? Because of the double door?

Nice work!

It's been close to a year, time to update this thread....per request.

I have been grinding the undercarriage while it's easier to get to....in the process of rolling things over, found these.
If you see Jonathan from Colorado , tell him i have the keys to his toolbox.....update complete :twisted:

Sarcasm is just one of the many services I offer.

I like my water filtered through a bed of grains, cleansed by yeast, and preserved with hops.

That's some impressive welding. I struggle with butt welds (as I presume those are). I end up with blow by and a biggger gap. Maybe setting it too high? Time for me to come out for another KKWA refresher course. Great job.

That's all you've accomplished since last January? ;)





















Just kidding- very nice. I think your welding skills are far beyond mine...... :thumbsup:

Your right Bruce, it's been a weak effort on this bus over the last year.

I tend to get a little burnt out welding and grinding for myself and others.

Also, I've had a terrible new addiction.....
