Long shot of bay floor steel

If you look close you can see that a couple of the down tubes in the middle of the bus are a green cast. This is what seems to happen to the Rustbullet when you just apply one coat. It seems that the Rustbullet turns this color as it "etches" itself into the steel. I can tell you from my experience that it is just as hard to get off no matter what color it is. If you are just starting to use the rustbullet and you see this happen, dont worry as it seems to be normal. The next two coats dont "tarnish" like this and stay that, brillant aluminumn color.

Bay floor support steel

I finally got the new steel all wire brushed and the Rust Bullet applied. I am a lot more prepared for winter this year...lol.... Notice I set up everything on the same plane as I will be panning the whole bottom of the bus with aluminumn to be able to pour foam all the floors. I would like this bus to be usable down to about -20 degrees or so. I will use some sort of heat supply in the water bays and circulate the air also.

Looking down into the generator bay

This will become the generator bay eventually....lol....

Looking down into the boggie area passenger side

Theres the new filler boxes with some Rustbullet on them.

New mount for the air filter

Here's the new mount for the extention of the air filter with a little rustbullet on it. Earlier I said I needed to put in soom diagonals and you can see I didn't forget. Really I did, But went back and put them in....lol.....

Lining up the differential

I used this big rachet strap to pull the differential over an 1/8 inch. You would be surprized how hard it is to line up the darn thing to the new shackels.

Engine compartment looking from the passenger side

Later, this compartment will be covered in polished stainless steel sheeting. I have to work out a good way to seal the access doors in the bedroom floor though. If anybody has any ideas I would appreciate any and all input there.

New shackles from Silver Eagle Bus

Here I have started lining up and welding in the new shackle mounting boxes. After I get a little further along in the drive line replacement I will be replacing the torsalistic springs and at that time I will rebuild the control arms that you see here and send them to the powdercoater to get a little bling bling too.

Rustbullet on the fuel tank supports and boggie axel area

Just another shot of the newly fabbed frame.
