Hello all,
I'm just now getting around to posting some pics of my Colorado conversion project. I've been working on it for 2 1/2 years, and have more early conversion photos on an old hard drive I will recover and post as soon as possible.
They are in no particular order, but I'll do something about that as soon as I figure out how.
I know some on this board will thumb their noses at anyone taking the time and effort to convert a skoolie, but having recently inherited anough money to buy the Maddencruiser several times over, I still stand by my decision to convert a
Thomas pusher.

Nice cabinet work. I'm working on my cabinets as well. It is definitely NOT my specialty, but it's coming out OK.

Nice work Jay. That all-rite door is that a stock house metal insulated house door with a dead bolt?? |

My thanks to all for your kind words. However, if I had known before starting this project just how much work it reallly is to convert from scratch, I might not have taken it on.
But, being this close to the finish, I suppose it's all been worth it.
Mike (Busone) I'm in Calhan, midway between Limon and Springs.
Paul (Paso_1) The All-Rite door came from All-Rite.com. They will build and ship your door, including any options, in 48 hours. Set up a business account with them before ordering anything...they will charge you retail PLUS, if you don't have an account.
My particular door has a locking RV handle, and 2 deadbolts. I framed the door with 1/8 SS angle, and feel pretty good about it's security. About $450 |

For as long as I've been looking at busses I've liked looking at the creativity some have demonstrated with interiors of skoolies. Seems like a platform for more different kinds of ideas than coaches, from which I always get neat ideas.
PS: Feel free to offload some of those $$$ dollars you could have spent on a Maddencruiser and send this way. |
