Ford E-350 conversion

Looks like someone with ambition is converting this unit to a home on wheels.  My (limited) experience with these van-bus conversions is that the original, with tis raised fiberglas roof and side panels, not to mention door, is noisy, unaerodynamic--lots of whistles and creaks. Looks like some soundproofing is goin on in this unit. The van itself looked to be in good shape, but I wonder how many miles these bus-conversions have on them before they get retired and sold? I'll try to keep an eye on this one, see if the project is still a Project.
