[BusNit]

Oh, I didn’t take it that way and I know you are truly in the right mind to ask! I think I posted on the FB site about welding Galvanized and that I haven’t died yet! I caught so much flack over my pit on some of the bus forums (not the Newell one) that I took out all the pics and quit sharing. I mean, OSHA was thrown in the mix and deadly explosions will eradicate me while working outside and under the bus. I do love to weld but after the skoolie project, I didn’t want to run not even an inch of welding wire. This coach had its defects but the rot under the bays really put me off. I was not going to go into full on restoration mode as the damage seemed limited to what I stripped out. I can’t fault Newell for using what materials was available to them at the time of manufacture but I certainly hope that todays materials and synthetic composites would be used that fare better in wet environments.
