ask him to do you a favor and reach down there and take that rear marker light out. it's two post on the molding will pal nuts. you should have all ready taken the tops off the fender wells to get the upper bolts off the bumper. there a source of rust that hole punched in the quarter.

Before/After

[Mike McGeehan]

more

Thanks, James. I think the contrasting colors add more interest as well. I'm pleased....and the color is " Omaha Orange".

 

[Mike McGeehan]

A big "thank you" to Michael Mykulak for supplying the door weather stripping. It fit perfectly and I'm very pleased with the results.

 

[Michael Mykulak]

Nothing makes me more happy, than to get a bump in reputation directly from the people that appreciate the hard work Dawn, Ed Renstrom and I put into the 9 month effort to bring the door weatherstripping to the members. Two prototypes and the third one was the hit. Metro Moulded rubber has been in business since 1918 and is always attempting to cater to car restorers that have needs for desireable replacement parts. They were getting anxious with me and my obsessive desire to get the part perfect, but only asked that I continue ordering quantitiys of the product to make them happy. I am sad to say that interest has waned and at this time what stock I have left might be the last. If anyone is on the fence trying to make the descision, buy now. I owe you a favor Mike, for the kind words. Please tell me what it is like riding with no air leaks or road noise comng through the door seals and no more dust filtering into the interior, plus you notice the A/C not working as hard maybe? Doors rattling? Exhaust is also capable of getting vacuumed into the inside with bad door seals. I know folks experience a degree of all these issues with bad door seals.

It looks real nice! You will definitely get lots of attention with your ambulance, now. Enjoy it!

 

[Richard Vyse]

Always a work in progress.

For a moment I thought that orange was my Lifeliner. Your rig looks beautiful.

For a moment I thought that orange was my Lifeliner. Your rig looks beautiful.

I've admired your Lifeliner for some time from afar. Thanks for the inspiration.

 

[John ED Renstrom]

looks sharp. they must have put every light in the drawer on that rig.

 

[Abe Bush]

She is beautiful, I LOVE all the beacons! Also love the two Ful-Vus up front too! Do you plan to keep blackwalls on her? Your coach is beautiful, great job!

I'm always curious how local police/fire/EMS folks react when they see a beautiful old coach like that driving around! I'll bet they crane their necks trying to get a better look!

Looking good Mike!
