Powdercoated doors

Here is the first of three loads of doors as they looked the day I picked them up from the Powdercoater. I have all the doors back now and am in the process of hanging them now. Just a little hang up on getting to a brake long enough to fold the long stainless.

Bay doors ready for Powdercoat

This was early spring this year.

Weather striping flange

After I fabricated the doors up it was quite a chore to add all this flat stock for the stab on weather stripping. It all was stitch welded from behind and the welds ground out. I tried to keep the weld splatter to the inside and bottom because I am covering the jambs with 24 gauge stainless and I want it to fit fairly tight,

I know I have not posted much but its because I have spent more time welding and less time typing. I am done welding now and have the frame all painted up. I have made all the steel frames for the doors also and had them powder coated. I have been busy and will share with you as soon as I can.

This is the stair cover turned under the floor. Later I will add a pneumatic cylinder to operate it on the dash.

Heres a start on the frame work for the half moon stair cover that spins out from under the false floor under the cockpit area. I had this idea for some time but have had a lot to do else where on the bus.
