Ive found lots of various good info here and there but sure would be nice to have a bullit list.

from what I gather so far it would have:

- check frame rails for sag with long straight edge and look for serious rust issues around boggie attachment points

- check wheel camber, bent boggies seem to be fairly common issues.

- check for body spread (Im not exactly sure the best way to do this yet) the sides have been known to bow outwards

- cracked windshields could be an indication of more serious body issues (perhaps poor crash damage repair but info has been hard to find about this, Ive only found bits here and there)

- check floor inside and out for water damage. it is wooden.

thats the main stuff Ive been looking at, Im sure there is much more but I have been looking at the lower end coaches many of which are not running to restore and so I am more concerned with the biggest issues that are the most difficult to correct/repair.

what are some other the major points I should add to this brief list?
