Is that a heat duct, or a fresh air duct over the window??

If it is heat, is there a correct way to seal it, or is it duct tape to the rescue?

I guess that if it is fresh air (AC) you may want to seal it for the summer to get more fresh air (AC) up front.

I am not sure, I am not a bus guy, but just wondering.

that's the way it is Richie, there's a lever at front you turn to cut the flow of fresh air to that rear vent.

The Jersey Look Gods will live vicariously through the panel. GA, ready to weld?

Will when ever you are ready. My place or yours. I got no problem traveling up to you if thats what it takes. You can watch, help or just kick my nuts as I toil away on your bus. My calender is open so just pick a date or two, hey even a week. If I finish ahead of schedule I could just work around the house maybe clean the chicken coop. It's up to you. I'm free whenever.

Oh chit. I just realized where that came from!! Joisee in da house.

Joisee in da' house is right! That puppy's sitting in the barn right now.


After depleting the Binghamton Walmart of their Satin Jade stock I decided to get cookin' and color up the bus. Still have a ways to go, but it's starting to take shape.


Apologies for the low quality photo, haven't brought my camera back from ROC yet...

On a negative side, just found this out about my neighbor, Freddie.

Hale Eddy lost a fine one.

niiiiiccccceeeeee...I wanted to post earlier, but can only do so from home, since I don't know m password and am too lazy to reset it

are you doing any sanding between coats? is the roof white? I can't wait until these two get together again...





sorry to hear about your neighbor...

glad to see you working on the bus Will. You done with school for the summer?

Will my condolances on your neighbors sudden death!!

Sorry to hear about Freddie.

That bus looks sweeeet. How many cans? and how is your finger feeling?

Looks good from here!
Sorry about your neighbor. I passed another of your neighbors on the road about a month ago. I forget the name, but it was a purple 18 wheeler from Deposit, NY.

Thanks everyone...

John, the roof's going to stay white. I'm spraying around 4 light layers of paint after sanding the surface with 400 grit, no sanding in between. Seems to work okay. Has some runs, but I can't be looking two professional can I!

Raj, finished up mid May, but spent most of the time running around the east coast in a donked out "box" avoiding cattle and watching the peanuts grow.

Mr. A, finished up my work yesterday with 5 1/2 dead on the floor. I've got the rear corners, hatch,and the rear long panels left. I might leave the last one in primer bein' they need body work any way, but if I have enough paint I'll go for it. The finger is looking a tad bit scarred, but other wise great!

Go Deposit truckers! You probably saw one of Schaefer's trucks, they're the hidden billionaires of Deposit, NY. (I might "disappear" for saying that!)

Will I forgot to mention at the Cinco de Mayo bus BBQ it got a little chilly so I pulled my Deposit T shirt out that had been hanging in my bus since last year. One of the girls there saw it and said that they been to the lumberjack festival. It was funny because I heard about it from you on my tractor thread.

My parents where up there a couple of weeks ago at the lodge.

Deposit has many hidden secrets it seems.

GA, the Lumberjack Festival is a weekend or two before the campout. The raft race is a bunch of fun.

I could grab you a T-shirt if you'd like, I know I'll be getting one.

Speaking of tractors, you missed the Callicoon Tractor Parade!

The old farm vehicles are fun, and most show their age...



A 1927 John Deere backfired while driving past me, I turned around thinking someone had slapped me in the back to get my attention. Pretty cool.


Moving on.

Got the rear finished today, the bumper will go back on tomorrow A.M.



Thank God for Krylon.

looks great bro. Its amazing what a little color can do for a vehicle.

Ha!

Thanks, Raj. It made a big difference over the flat white.

Will your rig looks sick. The color and flatness is perfect.

Yea I'll take a shirt fo sho. Never told you but I rocked My penguin shirt to Bullibrigade last year knowing you'd be there in spirit. I could never find a good picture of me wearing it though.

Thank you, GA. What size will do ya'?









Added my location (a little lopsided) and painted 3 out of the 4 hubcap centers black. The 4th still had OG black paint left so I figured I'd leave it.

There's another way to paint them with spray paint and lacquer thinner. After going at it with a brush and seeing the results up close, I'd go with the route below.
