wow congrats im green with envy...either that or im so mad im turning into the hulk... but yeah grats all the same

Grats, but allocate a lot of time for fixing it up...and a little money. Enough bad news, though, this is a wonderful time. I remember mine started with moving the driveshaft out of the way and hooking up a towbar. They start with this swaying thing sometimes, and you have to hold the wheel straight and let it smooth out, or you'll make it worse. Then I unhooked the towbar with the driveshaft still out and the coach started rolling down the road. The 3-way doors were locked together and I couldn't get to the bake. Tony was in the front yard and I yelled at him for help, and he said, "Just a minute". I'll never forget my replay...

"Just a minute, my ass! The hease is rolling down the street"

Well, enjoy your new toy. It will get you a lot of attention, especially when you start driving to work, or church

Always use your jack stands on level concrete and kick the bumpers to make sure that it's solid before you go underneath it. These cars are heavy, long, and have lots of blind spots, so be sure to stick on some convex mirrors, and be careful backing up.

And most important of all, don't get frustrated and put it on Ebay. I have 5 cars, and sometimes the hearse just has to sit there for a while until circumstances are right for working on it.

yeah i'll second that - be careful when backing up, especially at night.

never park where you might back into obstacles such as trees, or low retaining walls. body work is not cheap.

The pics I've seen look a lot like that on! Thank you all! The driver window is broken, but we already have a replacement! Got lucky, getting the glass and replacement for $160! Only has 53K miles, and runs good maybe I won't have to do much work to him! I will always be careful, and attention is what I hope for, though I doubt it will go to church very often, unless he can drive himself!
