I'd like to see it completed too.
My in-laws did something like that to an old Greyhound bus. It was first class all the way with a pro cabinet builder and paint-job. My FIL did all the plumbing, elect. etc.
They used it for a about a year before trading it in on a truck and fiver.
When I finally got him to tell me why, it was power. It seems the old Detroit just wasn't powerful enough to drag the heavy rig around and he could only do 55 on the freeway.
Still, like the OP's it was a beautiful rig and worthy of a re-power.
