Just know that it's going to be a lot of work removing seats -- from what I read on other projects, the bolts are often rusted on and most people tend to grind them off. You may want to take a generator to the salvage yard to make quick work of getting the seats free. Also, make sure that the seats will actually fit and mount in the new bus. My bus had one end of the seats supported by a ridge on the wall; you'd want to be sure that lined up properly between your seats and your bus. Good luck with your project!

The short model, It has the Superior Coach. We are in desperate need of parts to restore the interior. We need seats. We're not picky, just bus seats that we can attach seat belts to Every other part of this bus needs work or replacement. The thing runs and the engine overhaul seems to be the easiest to take care of. If you can be of any help in refering us to a source to buy parts. I would appreciate it soooo much. Thank you Alesa O.

We'll have to do a little rediscovery if and when we go back.

That's the type of thing I just couldn't let go if I went to that junk yard, where is it by the way? after a hunch and a quick google image search I've found that the computer is in fact a trs-80 model III, now I'd really take it.

I subscribed to your RSS feed in Google Reader and everytime you have something new I read it instantly. Watching the bus being restored is awesome, the bus really grows on you. I'm always really excited to see what you came up with this time... and I'm looking forward to find out what the End-product will look like some day! Thanks for this Blog.
