Looks like you have an engineering background with all that custom fabrication that you are doing. Great work so far!

That pic was taken in response to the fact that he had it on "cinder blocks" and everyone was telling him he was going to die and to use jackstands. The bus was still supported by the cinder blocks, that is why there is a box next to the jackstand to hide them.

First mock up (looks like the bumpstop has to go and the frame notched. It looks like it is hitting right now in the pic, but its not)
