11th Hour Custom

เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 20 พ.ย. 2016
These videos I should say are the excuses that I don't have the motor back my bus. I'll showing some paint jobs, Airbrushing, drawing, fabrication, sewing, computer graphics, vinyl applications and mechanic work. Stay with me as I go on the rollercoaster ride of emotions on some projects.
I hoping at some point this turns into a vlog on the road with the bus and then eventually at sea. As I set sail to the Bahamas. Lol.

Converting Air to Electric Bus Wipers
#bus This is a huge upgrade to my 1988 Model 15 Silver Eagle BUS. The one thing you take for granted when buying a bus is the air windshield wipers. When they work, they work OK but after a few hours they become a job to keep them working or the noise gets to you. There's nothing like having quiet electric steady working wipers and washers....Wow, well that's a bonus.
This is something when I bought the bus I knew I would eventually add but some of the kits are like $1,200.00.
So this is the way I did mine. let me know if there's anything I didn't cover?
Thanks!

Bus Issues Steering & Starter

#bus #silvereagle This is a continuation of the power steering hose video. I'm trying to get the bus back to normal but there is always unexpected problems.
Bus Conversion Don't!
มุมมอง 1.3K3 ปีที่แล้ว
After all the time I spent getting the motor and trans in, Boom! The power steering goes out! I'm just glad it happened where it happened and I can spend the time fixing it the way I want it rather just getting it going and head down the road. This is going to be a on going project for awhile but it doesn't mean I won't be taking it places. Stay Tuned for future videos and see where.

Will This Detroit Diesel Start!?

#bus #detroitdiesel #silvereagle I know it's been a while I appreciate the people who watch. Especially the people who watch the entire video. I promise this video is worth the 30mins to watch the whole thing I poured a lot of time into the editing to try and fit the past year's work into the time I have it stripped down to. It's been a lot of ups and downs and the rollercoaster hasn't stopped....

Bus Balancer Install
มุมมอง 6883 ปีที่แล้ว
This Balancer has been a problem since before the engine was out of the bus. I believe because it was never installed correctly it caused the motor to come apart when it did or it definitely added to the failure. I did research and found a extended cone wedge but the part number was obsolete I was told. I took the balancer keeper and puller mount from the motor I bought and we made a 1/4" shim ...
Toesy's the sleeping sock
มุมมอง 983 ปีที่แล้ว
#sharktank #invention #patentpending This Is a sock I invented to just cover your toe's without slipping off and speaking of slipping..Toesy's make it safer to walk in the kitchen and hardwood floor without falling. I have had trouble sleeping because my toes are freezing for years. I put socks on and I get too hot and if I put them half way on they slide off.

Hello still waiting for a new video where did you go and how's your bus coming along
Can you break down your process for me. What did you use to draw the lettering onto the tracing paper which then gets transferred onto the boat? Is it pencil? Ink? Some kind of paint?
Paper with pounce holes and then I use chalk power over the stencil I made.
I hope to do a convertion on an RTS got to get back to work first😊

Thank you for sharing.. When I send part number of my Detroit 8v92 water pump to the mechanic, he asked me to take picture of it, because there are 2 of the product carry same part number! Could that be true?
I'm not sure. Sorry

I have 2 to pull so I can swap the fan bracket from underneath the dampener. Thanks for posting. Just knowing it’s supposed to take forever is helpful. I’ve had tons of pressure on the smaller pullers and it’s like I’m gonna break them. What do you think about using an impact on the puller? Just inviting chaos?
I’m so glad I came across your channel. We went on our first RV trip last April. I was a nervous wreck the whole time while my husband was driving because we had to take all three dogs with us. One turned 14 mid May, a miniature schnauzer, and she has signs of dementia. She would pace back and forth, back and forth, so much of every day, and I was sure she would fall down the steps! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Beautiful job you did! Thanks!!
WOW thanks for the comment! I hope it helps and I'm sorry to hear about your dog. At least this could give you the rest of worrying about them while on the road.
in my opinion, the correct assembly is when the water seal is pressed onto an already installed shaft. Pressing the shaft into an already installed water seal may damage the seal.
Thanks for the advice. I'm not a expert. It's been done for a few years now and so far no leaks.
@@11thhourcustom hmmm... it's very curious
what kind of paint did you use
One Shot lettering enamel on this job
Looks good - what did you use for the rubber looking matt and type of glue to attach it ?? I was thinking using some old leftover flooring I had when I did my basement floors..
I had bought a roll of that rubber from a rubber supply company to do the basement of my bus. I used DAP landau glue. Thanks for watching.
Nice work !!
Thanks Tom!
TH-cam's algorithm brought me here. And boy am I glad I clicked. Keep bringing more content, absolutely loved this.
Thank you! I don't post often but I do try to keep posting.
Nice work brother you do great work and it looks stock to me very nice glad to see you back at it your coach is really coming together your floor removal and hose repair was a huge undertaking but you nailed that to. Love the videos keep them coming.
Thank you! I really appreciate the comments! I takes me forever to edit these videos, that's why the time in-between is so long. On to the next one. Lol!
@@11thhourcustom oh I get it it's probably more work video taping the project than the actual job your doing your videos are great I for one appreciate them and the time your investing into them so thanks for doing them. You really are great at it.
Damn brother you missed your calling you could have a whole video series on Detroit engines or Detroit diesels and it'd be the best video series on the TH-cam I'll send you my water pump off my 60 series and you can rehab that one
Thank you for watching. I appreciate the comments.
I’m sure this is been asked before but how long is your bus?
It is 40 ft.
Heat always hurts.It wrecks the temper of the metal.
Digging that mid-entry! Quality work, nice Eagle. I have a 79 model 05.
Thank you I appreciate it! I'll be at the Historic bus meet in Trenton NJ next weekend. I don't know where you are located but if you're in the area you'll know where I am. Lol
@@11thhourcustom yea I’m in N Mississippi, wish I could make it, never been to bus show/rally but looking for one closer. 👍🏻
I just started watching the first couple minutes of this video but I followed your work on this floor. It never dawned on me until now in regards to this floor and ALL the time and brain power messing with wood floor and getting it back to it's original settings. When you mentioned replacing the carpet up floor, heck why don't you carpet the whole thing and the heck with the wood floor. Buses aren't like houses when people have it in their minds that kitchens have to have hard floor surfaces. Buses are rolling earthquakes and hard floors are cold. Just a thought for ya! Blessings to you and your family and cats!
Thank you! I agree with you but I did like the way the hardwood looked and I wanted to put it back the way it was minus the carpet. Carpet collects a lot of dirt and it looked like the beach when I ripped it up.
@@11thhourcustom Yes, you are right about the dust and Sandy Beach. I experienced the sand also when I took out my carpet and installed hard surface floors. But during the winter season I do use a Mohawk carpet type product with thick recycled rubber backing because of the cold floor and there hasn't been any kind of residue from them yet. Going into my 9th winter season as a full-time Bus RV'ER out here in Western Maryland at 2900 feet. Brrr! I saw your end results and the floor really looks great.... good job! And thanks for the update on your bus. Blessings!
QUALITY WORK, NICE BUS .
Thank you!!!
What a dork
I appreciate the comments!
Whatever
@@jasondonegan6063 make sure you pick up a shirt in my online store. Tell your friends.
Shirts probably have holes in them like your bus floor
@@jasondonegan6063 they are left over Geraldine Ferraro election shirts. Some holes
That wood flooring looks nice but also very tedious to install! Especially the latch router inset. I look forward to more of these videos, as well as perhaps the video on your home made dust recovery system. I think I understand how it works, but not how you made the cone shaped part.
Haha! Thank you I appreciate the comment. I have the footage for making the dust collector. It's harsh but it works. Stay tuned. Thanks again
Great job Chris that was a ton of work but it turned out great well done brother I watched you struggle taking that floor up to get to your hoses so I bet your really happy with the outcome what was the product you painted of the framework in the beginning to keep the moisture off the wood? Anyway another great video brother.
Thank you! Believe it or not I'm still working on it.
I have become helplessly invested in this bus project! Lol i love it . I cant wait to see the upholstery process ! Id definitely come help ya if i was closer lol
Thanks man! I appreciate it. I was really dragging my feet to get this video finished
@@11thhourcustom i know the feeling !
Great job Chris.
Holly shit. What assholes covering that up
Ahhhh, the roar of ✌️ victory!
Well done Chris well done. God that's a good looking Detroit is that a silver 8v92? But I've got an 8v71 in my MCI MC9 but I have a silver 8v92 I'm going to go through it someday and maybe swap them out but the current 8v71 runs so good it's just not worth the effort until it gets tired. Anyway brother love the channel and your work. Keep up the video's I'm sharing them with fellow bus nuts. You've got a great channel.
Thank you I appreciate it. Yes, it's a Silver series. If you have a good running 71 I would stick with it too. 8v92s seem to have some quirks.
Keep your channel I enjoy every one of them hope to see some made in your coach in future on the road trips 👍
Thank you I appreciate the comment. I'll be out and about this spring.
Hope you can make it to spring fling in Hershey in June. We usually have the most Eagles show up here. I love all buses bus Eagles stole my heart since I was barely able to walk
I have every intention of making it out there. My bus should be more complete than it was in September.
@@11thhourcustom I missed the Jersey trip unfortunately due to scheduling on my end, having a contract for the date from two years ago. I will be trying to make it to Jersey this year though.
