Looks great John - seems like your bus is getting close to done. Since you're gonna be up here to pick it up -- how about making a lucky lab visit out of it and let us all know so everybody can come and drool on it. :flower:

BEEEEEyoutEEEEful.


New power plant, new coat, now all you need to do is go for the trifecta and get a new driver.


It would be tough, but for you John, I would make the sacrifice and be that driver.



what can I say, I'm a giver that way. :pirate:
So it all started when I wanted to get better gas mileage....

Be very proud and go ahead a brag :cheers:

What can you share about fiberglass used? I used it in my batt box with a wood bottom and it lasted for many years, replaced it two yrs ago with metal tray, did,nt need it I just had read so much about not using anything but metal. Is what you have just the resin or with cloth strips also?

Thanks, Barb
