Savin' old tin every day!

This one is about a 46 I think. I wish it was older, but oddly, I have never owned a bus before, so it is a good start.

You can stick any cowl, hood, grill, and front fenders on it.

True, I had not thought about that. And you know I have some of those. Good thinking!

And speaking of paint.....

It shows 60,000 miles and was tagged for about 10 years. After that it was used by an electrician as a work shop, and maybe even driven to job sites. I have not figgured out the tags if it was driven, but that is what I was told.

Magic Bus.......

Remember, with Bonehead it could very well end up like this...
He did just buy a big military truck......

I have rode in this first one, lots of fun... ‘22

Cool bus, Bonehead. I actually like the stock roof height. Cool magic bus.

Well, to be truthfull, I had it in my head to mate the two right up until I went to look at it today. The axles are super wide on the army truck, and would stick out a good 2 feet wider than the front fenders.
But thanks for the Monster Bus pictures.

I am thinking of calling it the "OLD SKOOl-BUS"

Here is the quick photoshop of Gastrick's "any front clip", and 22's monster army truck idea combined....

That is one of the many things I like about this site. I have already built this bus 10 different ways in my head thanks to you guys. I really like the 30's front clips on a bus.
It will be different not being bright yellow, or fancy painted.

You've got a real interesting piece there. With your creativity, I'm positive it will turn out to be something unique. My suggestion is you bump it to the head of the project line, so we all don't have to wait too long to follow your build.

name that bus

I have 2 names that could work.
THE COOL-BUS
OR
THE SHORT-BUS
every body knows about the short bus

Forget about a "school" theme... go for a "Penitentiary" theme. I'm sure with your imagination, something will come together.
