http://groups.msn.com/AceRossiMotorsports/foolsgold2.msnw?Page=1 Still without interior ceiling! Kitchen is very useful and couch is very comfortable which was a good ($200.00) deal via a bus nut friend who found it. I feel so bad that it wouldn't fit in his bus! LOL Also installed a simple black tank level gauge (not shown) and our rear vision camera and monitor which works very well. I guess I need to pop and roast more corn to get this thing a little further along! Thanks |

Oh, if only I had the ability to perceive what could be done with a talent like yours. I'm dumber than a post! An absolutely fantastic job! What are you doing in your spare time? NCbob |

Wow... I love the chairs. Are you concerned about the glass? Was the table an end table, or something you had made? I have to show this to my girlfriend when she gets home. That looks a lot like I hope mine will end up. |

Hey Ace I don't know how you sleep at night, just paying $200.00 for that couch. By the way it does look good. Catskinner! Sonnie Gray 0/5 Eagle 3406 Cat |

DUDE, that looks almost good enough to be a Prevost. Oh wait...it IS a Prevost! Man, do I love that rosewood? laminate. The last time I asked you said it was easy to do. Yeah. Right. Well done, good sir. |

Ace, This bus of your's is becoming a show place for sure, don't hurry, it's looking too good. I look forward to Arcadia to see it again in person. Can two people sleep on your new $200 couch?? You know, just in case the Eagle is still in cognito here in SC?? Only kidding. Thanks for sharing your progress, I can't wait to get started on something pretty. I have no idea how to start?? Do I need more tools than a welder?? How about that couch, does it sleep two people?? Oh, I already asked that. Take Care buddy and prayers are said every day for Carla. Gary |

Thanks everyone but I DO have help so I can't take all the credit! Seems I get all the dirty work though! JW as for the glass? Not really concerned. It's sort of a trial thing to see how it works. When we move the bus for any reason, and even though the bus rides really smooth, and I think it will be just fine, it usually sits on the bed... to save an argument if you know what I mean? We're really sort of leaning towards a table that folds up and down that will match the other counter tops. With glass, you have to be so careful and that I'm not. The laminate is pretty easy to do once you see it done, OVER and OVER, and having the RIGHT tools helps tremendously. Sonny, nice to hear from you bud. How's the Mrs.? Well about the couch? You see a friend of mine called and said it was worth every penny and I took his word and I bought it site unseen. I was very pleased to say the least! It wouldn't fit in his bus since his lay-out is different than mine. (Lucky me) YES it is VERY comfy too! NO I haven't had to sleep on it YET, but close! Gary, I WOULD offer to let you stay on the couch but if I did that, you wouldn't have any incentive to GET YOUR BUTT IN GEAR, and get that Eagle rolling south, now would it? I will post more pics real soon of more updates IF I can find the time, which by the way, answers the other post. I have NONE left! Free Time that is! Always busy doing something. They say it keeps you feeling young. I'm still waiting for that to happen, but at least I'm not on any meds at my age regardless of what some of you may think!! LOL Later... Ace |

Ace, That's a sharp looking coach you've got doing. I wish I had the wherewithall to get busy on mine again. Now your making me look bad and Cat is going to start hollering about the half done remodel in the front. Gee, Thanks a lot! Lol Dallas PS: This is Cat, I can't start hollering, I've BEEN Hollering since before he had his knee surgery. He may need your couch, or a shed, at most. Lol Cat |

Ace - that's the exact couch I was looking for - and a better deal than I had hoped to get - I don't suppose if you ran across another one that you would give another BN - say like me - a call? - As soon as I get my bay intertainment system finished I plan on getting our of the Sauna State and heading North - Niles |

Sure Niles I'll let you know if anything comes my way. Where you heading to? I thought you had a job down here? You need someone to take care of them girls in the office for you while your gone? I'm your man! Trouble is, they might have a free rein since I have no time to look in on them! Ace |

Ace - technically I've been retired since Sep.1,1996 - youngest just turned 18 a couple weeks ago - I have mom totally set up in/and loving her new home in Sun City - I am now a FREE MAN - I am heading anywhere there are pretty girls, fresh air, room to roam, and liquor stores (any suggestions welcomed) - If I get out of here next week I'll probably stay in the southeast as I will have to return for son's graduation and other stuff end of may - I may crash Dallas' party if I'm in the neighborhood - If you would take the girls off my hands permanently I would be entirely indebted to you and a friend for life - you are happily married to Susan or I would set you up with my bookeeper who is in dire need of a husband, as she abuses me as a surrogate - You got my cell # so call me if you make it out of the Sauna State and I'll try to hook up w/ you all - Niles |

Yea I was thinking about getting to Dallas's party too but Susan advised me that even though were not working (popping/roasting) on that Sunday, we ARE on Friday night and Saturday at two different events here locally so I guess I will have to pass! As for the bookeeper? I'll keep that in mind if I ever have to sleep on the couch! I would suggest just about ANY ABC or XYZ but the girls are FUBAR...if you know what I mean? In other words there isn't enough alcohol to make them look any better, at least from what I have seen! Later and keep in touch fellow H model owner Ace |

Alas - BW, I will soon return to that enchanted land of Molson flowing rivers - is it possible to drive my bus to Hudson Bay? I do have to visit Quebec as that is the only mainland province or territory I have not visited - I will of course notify you well in advance of my scheduled arrival as it is very time consuming to amass the amount malted beverage it is possible for 2 busnuts (3 if the BOSSNUT has successfully launched his new venture and transferred the duties of operation to his under payed and even lesser appreciated minions) to partake in whilst lounging along the banks of Georgian Bay - Oh Canada !!! Say hi to the wife and crum crushers - Niles |

Well, almost. You can get to the Quebec shores of James Bay, the little bump at the bottom of Hudson Bay, by road, and there is a great train ride to the Ontario shores at Moosonee from Cochrane. The Rand McNally will show you the basics. I'd do a bit more research as to just who and what goes up there. If you are keen, I'll ask around my trucking industry friends as to some details. Some serious mileage to get up there! At least you'll have some support of the Quebec locals by driving a Prevost! Or.... beer and imagination is cheaper than fuel and reality? Hudson Bay, James Bay, Quebec, Ontario, Uxbridge, Burnt River, Toronto, Notre-Dame-du-Nord, wherever... Just say you went to Canada, that'll be impressive enough back home! happy coaching! buswarrior |
