I hope to be able to do a little on the bus soon. I'd like to drop the engine and pull the gas tank. I plan on installing an alternator.

I took a look at the wiring under the dash tonight. It's a mess :help: A previous owner did alot of 'backyard' fixes, including a floor mounted hi-beam switch. There's a lot to correct. I'm not trying to restore this thing, just get it running.

I'll be happy when she's running.

April 4th (Saturday) i'm going to remove the engine and gas tank from the bus. Then i want to install the Alternator (i know, not a big deal). If there's time I'd like to install the seat covers on the bucket seats (already have the new covers)

All are welcome. Let me know if this interfiers with something else.

Update on the workday :!:

I will be working on the bus on Wednesday April 1st, no more workday that weekend.

I'm taking the day off. Other than taking my son to the dentist in the morning, i will be working on the bus all day. Come over whenever, i suppose 4 or 5 works for some of you, but you can come over at any time. Give me a call.

281-235-5361

I plan on removing the engine and fuel tank. Changing out the generator for an Alternator.

I have a few items that i will be picking up in Fredericksburg, like a new tank :dance:

also getting a right rear corner. I don't need to replace it, but i cant beat the price (free)
