Heres the current progress:
That's gonna be really sweet when it's done.
Ohhhh so that's what the strobes were for... going to go on the roof?
Na lol will be mounted at the back somewhere a bit lower down lol
Omg that's awesome... Keep us updated!
Todays update
Trial fitting of the equipment...
And it all started off like this lol:
EDIT: Will keep you guys updated, going to mount a few buttons and a key switch tomorrow, then probably get it ready for a primer & paint!
Just out of curiousity, could you show me how your monitor is positioned? Also how much higher it's standing than the wheel.
I'm really interested in doing a similar build myself.
How do you remove the gear shifter btw?
When i get money for it , i`m gonna build this too
I havent mounted my monitor yet, but will be on the wall in front of the cockpit.
As for the shifter, the long bit of wood is actually two bits, with one being on a hinge with a planned storage area underneath it when you lift it up!

Is this what you're gonna use to drive the buses now?
I used to have a ruler like that, I think it got split in 2.
Here are my two, second one is being built into an suv style setup. Plans are to rebuild the first one and but some sort of car shell around the outside
Done two coats of undercoat/primer, now done the first coat of colour:
Hopefully will be back on the servers, cruising in this beast!
All i gotta do now is:
- Touch up the current coat of paint
- Mount strobe lights
- Mount neon
- Mount side LED's
- Wire up buttons/switches
- Mount TV on the wall
Then its all good to go!
EDIT: Carpet will be going on top of the non painted area lol
Managed to get quite a large area of off-cut for free from the local carpet barn thingy
Very nice. Keep keeping us updated!
Just about to mount the tv on the wall now! Will be back later this evening
That looks really good
Maybe get a bigger screen though?
