Let me just guess how this works.
 I assume you put the socket screw driver on the air chisel (thing) and turn the wrench looking thing as it impacts.
 Yeah?

Jason @ TRP couldn't handle the job and is in over his head.
Long story short, the money I gave him as a deposit, he spent on ?? and now has no money to move forward with the work promised and paid for.

We have partially settled up with him giving me the sunroof Notch here - http://lowbus.com/BB/index.php?topic=1065.0 and promises of blasting and sealer on this bus, but he could never come through with that either, so I am now waiting / hoping he come through with cash at some point.

In the meantime, I am taking it to a more "professional" shop.
On to the next phase......

The SO-1 has moved to a new "undisclosed" location and they are wasting no time...

Inner valance out



Outriggers, jack points and top hats, center belly pans out and, and some bracing added to keep things square



Window openings being removed for a proper "panel" job as it was from the factory

I can make that happen for you. I'm sure he'd be happy to do the work.
