Was perusing the Coos bay photos with an envy and a bitterness because I'm still wrenching (and couldn't take that much time off anyway ) and I noticed this interesting ride:

Nice headlight job. From this distance it very much looks like what GM would have done if they had re-introduced the coach a few years ago.
Anyone have any info on this coach, its owner, and whether the conversion was documented anywhere? If not, could anyone take closer pictures of this one? I'd like to know what headlights were used, as they seem to have the proper forward angle. The only thing I have found for a donor is a mid nineties buick century, but the wrap around has the wrong angle.
On another note, I will know better next time to schedule my major GMC surgery around the rally schedule. You never need anything until somebody goes on vacation, and my volunteer mechanical team is breaking some of the oddest parts on this engine swap. Maybe I should have held off on the beer until after they were done...JimK, you owe Nick as I have been wearing him out, be sure to bring him back a t-shirt or something.
