Thanks for the kind words everyone. I wasn't sure I'd ever get it to this point. With the fiasco concerning the title, to working by Mother Nature's schedule (too big to fit in garage and welding, cutting and grinding can be rough on a wooden barn!), it wasn't exactly smooth sailing!
I snapped a few pics under the hood (back to the cell phone for those, sorry). I'm still trying to find a creative way of hiding the wiring, especially that ugly, rusted armored ignition wire coming from the original switch and getting everything else looking respectable. Right now, the easiest way seems to be by leaving the hood shut!
The last I heard, the bus/hauler is up for sale. It took Roy all of about 10 minutes to get it fired up! If anyone is interested, I'll get the official word from him.
