Old School #1

This is our 1986 Ford School bus we are converting into an RV, We are trying to build the entire bus with recycled, used, unwanted or salvaged parts. It is a Diesel with an automatic transmission that gets 14 mpg. on the hiway and 12 mpg in the mountains here in Colorado. This is a green built RV!
We will add more video as the build goes on.
Thank you for looking

I hope that antenna I see on the dash is for receiving only. If it's for transmitting get it further away from the driver seat. Transmitting antennas can really fuck with your brain, better not to risk it. Nice bus, how did you get it for $500? Cheapest used bus I've found around here that runs is about $3000.

I had the Diamond plate cut to fit at DenCo in Colorado, I wish I used smoth plate. It is 14 Ga. steal, cost was $85.00 I used auto body 2-part appoxi, and screws then finished it up with auto bosy calk.

did that diamond plate fit perfect on those windows or was it cut to fit? did you just screw it up there?
