Custom dash and instrument panels installed,   Additional 110 outlets for inside and outside wired.   My cyclocross pal and RV authority, Steven Webster,  suggested I install an outdoor shower to clean bikes post race.  I'll install the unit this week prior to painting.  

I've been lax about posting progress on this blog.  Primarily because I've decided to waste little time adding to this blog and continue sanding, filling, primering, sanding, filling, sanding . . . you get the picture.

All the windows were removed and resealed.  The sliding windows received new felt tracks and  all windows have been reinstalled.

Work is underway for the 12 volt chassis wiring.   A custom instrument panel was ordered and received.   It fits over the driver's dash panel.   Instrument gauges, rocker switches, stereo and back up monitors have been added.  Custom spanish burl wood inlays will be added soon.  We'll  be installing the dash permanently then installing new wind shields.

The Team's Bus rehab is underway.  It's a 1975 GMC Motorhome and is being overhauled with many custom features added for the team's benefit.   My neighbor and fellow racer Steven Webster of the BikeClicks.com team has been a great resource of practical advice.   Steven's 1980 Airstream provides the needed support for his team and I'm taking notes of the good, bad and ugly of sharing your RV with others.   I appreciated his advice on not equipping the bus with a toilet ~ no explaination required.

The 'Bus' will have a fully equipped garage &  bike storage in the rear with a custom designed full rear cargo door utilizing heavy duty hydraulics to lift the cargo door. 

We have also added a 6'x10' aluminum roof top deck.  A custom hatch opens from the roof, the deck ladder slides down and will allow us to watch races and other pretty things.  Three foot folding rails have been added for safety  in case a racer guy named JT decides to pay us a visit.  Photos can be found in our photo album
