Update on the Stovebolt Mobile HQ:

Almost done de-schoolbussing (removing all the signage and flashy things)
Learned that the heat gun is not your friend as much as the decal eraser wheel is... Note: when using the eraser wheel, do NOT park the daily driver next to the bus ... frown

All the reflective striping and signage has to come off for repainting

Especially anything identifying it as a school bus. I thought it might be cool to stop at this point for a picture ...

All safety related items (as a school bus) have to come off, as well -- especially the top side alternating flashing lights.

As the priority currently is getting through the inspection so I can title and register the bus as a "multi-purpose vehicle" (RV in Maryland), interior work will have to wait awhile. In the meantime, the field desk and folding chairs make do nicely.

Bought paint yesterday. Here's what the bus *should* look like repainted Desert Khaki.
