The Spool Bus thrash

[jfg455]

Here is what about 11 of my friends and 3 strangers came up with in about 40 hours time. We thrashed on this 06 Chevy express van school bus that I got for $800. We chopped 55" out of the middle, added 2 $199 Ebay turbos, decapped the injectors, put a Walbro 450 pump in an impala SS fuel tank, made the pipes all out of whatever scrap exhaust, duramax intercooler piping etc we could find, put the shortened rear body back on, cut the drive shaft down to 20", and just got it running with a basic tune tonight. A couple of small things to button up and we will see if it will pull wheelies! I have a few larger variety friends that have volunteered to ride in the back seats for ballast! [cl[cl On a side note it has an 80" wheel base just like a Mini...

Plenty of room behind the axle for weight.

Too Much Time On Your Hands

But in a very interesting way[
You could drop the roof about 8 inches for better aerodynamics [S

Might bring new meaning to the phrase: "Back of the bus"[cl

I just saw videos on Instagram from Josh (Vague Industries) of it doing wheelies. Cool!

 

[maverickmk]

That is so cool.
