Trek to Cheney Tech

In the shop

In the shop
I dropped by Cheney today and found that Anne has been successfully moved inside. Soon the steel to build the tank will arrive, be welded into a wonderful large tank, and mounted in the bus. I’ll be keeping this blog updated with progress.

The Plan

I met with Joe today, and we went over the grand master plan for the bus conversion. The veggie tank, heat exchanger, and general configuration are all set. It is fairly simple, and each little step is easy to explain (I’ll show you everything once it is done). The trick is getting all the simple things working together.

The bus needs a little other work too. The brake lines need some work, and I’m certain that more will come to light after they make a real inspection. But all of that is still a ways in the future. The good news is that we now have a plan to follow, and I’ll be sure to keep this site updated with the progress.

Seeking Sponsors

Well, there is enough money to cover the conversion, but to make this project really shine we need a little more money. So I’ve started an official search for sponsors. Hence, the eBay auction.

If you know anyone who is interested, point them my way.

Also, I should be visiting Cheney Tech later this week, and I’ll post video of what has happened so far, and what will be happening soon.

Tank – Exploded Assembly, originally uploaded by somjuan.

No video, because there isn’t much tangible to show yet, and I figured it would just be a little weird showing Joe and I walking around real excited-like. Here is a page of the plans for the tank, which is being welded together specially for this project. It’s a nice looking rig, and I should be able to post completed pictures soon.
