Sully,

I am thoroughly impressed by the thorough job you are doing. It is obvious
that the coach had been abused. Usually the solid front cabinets look
better than yours. I don't think I've seen a dash or end caps in such bad
shape. Even the roof air shrouds look like they the war zone.

Now I see why you say "basket case". However, I think I'd add "cases"
while you're doing the refurb. Another $30K of time and labor and you'll
have a $30K coach if the economy holds up. But, you'll have one you'll be
extremely proud of. (For everything else there's MasterCard.)

Thanks. I have had many days when I look at what remains to be done and am completely overwhelmed by it all and have to think of something else. Usually when that happens I try not to think about it for a day or two and then look only at what needs to happen to finish a stage and that helps. When the body is painted and the windows back in the light at the end of the tunnel may develop a faint glow. I started in November last year and hope to have it functional by October. But like some have said,it will be dependable and comfortable when done and should hold its value

Sully,
Amazing work. You obviously know what you are doing. Is that your business? Where are you located?

I hope you keep posting pictures.
