Hey group,

Check out my blog for pictures of my MCI 102A3 project...
I have heard it said, "life comes at you fast".  I didn't know it would be in the shape of a bus  :-)

Danny,

Looks like you are doing a great job! I am in the process of starting a conversion on a 102A3 that I bought in September. I have removed windows and added the panels and the bus is in the process of being painted.

I would like to know more about your bus conversion, like what gen system you are using, how you setup your holding tanks etc.

If you don't mind interfacing with me send me your e-mail address. It would be great to hear more about your bus.

Thanks,

Doug High

Thanks for the encouragement... 

Actually, I took a year of from my real job to do custom furniture making.  Question regarding getset - I have yet to decide.  I am at that point myself.  I will need at least a 7K unit to pull what I need.  I have a man in the process of painting the bus as we speak.  He is doing it on the side.  He started working on it in early June and is almost ready for paint.

Nice work. I especially like the curves and the ceiling.
