Re: Begining the Conversion : Gillig Phantom by TomC
Post New Message Strip the interior, check for cracks and fix them (especially around the doors), wire brush the frame and re prime with Rustoleum, make sure the floor is sound. I then screwed in spaced 1x2"s at about 1 foot spacing to anchor the walls, cabinets (overhead used 1x3 ash) ran the electrical that was needed in the ceiling (other electrical and plumbing is external from the walls for service) then had spray foam to the level of the 1x2"s for a total thickness of 2.25", lined the walls with 1/4" plywood and 1/8" on the ceiling. At this point you should run the electrical and plumbing. After that, start at the back of the bus and work forward. Do one job at a time and don't think about the other jobs until you finish that one job. If you think about the whole project, you'll go into overload. Just think of it as a bunch of small projects and pretty soon you'll see progress. Good Luck, TomC
