another jacuzzi bus???

We had so much fun building the last bus we're seriously considering making yet another bus just to sell on ebay.

here's the plan:

spend under $2,500 for bus and supplies, sell bus for at least $5k on ebay.....

oh, the best part....build the bus in under 2 weeks. (1 week if all goes perfect)

i'm sucking more people into my evil vortex. Not only is Jim my trusty mechanical project wizard joining me once again, so is phillbus.

we want to strip the bus, paint inside and out, install the jacuzzi and make it function (including heat exchanger and generator)
then we plan to leave the rest of the bus empty. Most skoolie owners like to do projects themselves, and they're cheap like me! Not too many skoolie owner's or future skoolie owners have the ability to install a full functioning 8 person jacuzzi in a bus. I figure if we do the impossible part, then someone hopefully will be interested in finishing the conversion themselves. However, in the interest of appealing to the broadest spectrum of perspective buyers(ie: those with lots of $$) , after the auction is complete we'll offer to finish the bus built to the buyers specifications if he or she so chooses for a fair price.

i found a perspective bus, but i have to schedule some time off of work so we can do the project

updates to come..........

Hey Jason... What kind of rivets did you use on the bus you just finished for your previous client?

... Never mind... I just read my previous post ....

Man...I wish I lived closer to the L.P. That seems like the kind of project I'd enjoy helping out on.

Re: another jacuzzi bus???

Anybody know where to get the proper rivets to use on a bus roof? Or basically, what kind are they?
