Hi Joe,
Thanks for the kind words.

The Smart is 102 inches long. The weight is almost perfectly evenly distributed over the four wheels, but the rear wheels sit closer to the rearmost part of the car than the fronts to the front, so the weight is biased toward the rear a little.

Why is it taking so long?...well, life gets in the way. We have been traveling on our boat, I am building an airplane, and family matters seem to butt in there from time to time as well. Plus, it is no fun working on it in the rain outside my shop. The bus is too tall to fit in there. And if I go to the hangar where I store the bus, well, then all the tools and such are not there. So I am procrastinating until the weather is a bit nicer. A poor excuse but I am sticking to it.

The other thing I kinda like about it, is you can only do this on a Prevost. Because of the internal structure of the bus you can carry the loads easily. It seems like a cool way to set the bus folks apart from the Winnebagos.
