Just watched video it seems pretty neat but its dark!

Do you have any daytimebpiz? What's your story how did you end up with a bus? Is it a tailgater rig I see the 12th man logos on the tables.

Thanks for posting a video!

I use imgur to host pictures so I can show them in the forum.

To be completely honest your first post needed a little more sentence structure so maybe that scares a few folks away.

Nicely done!

I particularly like the way in which you have repurposed the original seats.

I didn't see a sink or a potty. I can understand not having a bath or shower but a private toilet is a requirement and not a luxury according to "she who must be obeyed".

I didn't understand what you wrote so I thought it best if I didn't say anything.

Nice! Clean, and simple!
Is the project finished?
Would you be able to register as an RV/other-than-a-bus without plumbing/water/toilet ?

How's everyone doing those damn "ceiling" arch cuts to do partitions?
I might have an idea to do cardboard templates, but short of doing paper mashe'....

Anyway...very nice. And forgive my ignorance: what team are the numbers and log from?

I saved the interior front cap to template off of. There's also a ship spline curve can be used to take the angles off of the interior framework. I may get one when if the cap doesn't work out.

To further hijack, in my experience those things are not the best if you want to mold a curve then carry it across the room to draft it onto something else. Laid flat on a drafting table they can help to fair in a curve between a set of points, or whatever.

I for one am not likely to click on a link, especially if I have no idea what the text with it means. I also will never click on a link to a video, uses too much bandwidth. Pictures and text aren't hard to put on this site and use much less bandwidth for those of us who don't get all cheap data.

Originally got the bus to move my extended family around the state of Washington for vacations and maybe a little bit farther the bus seats 20 people plus the driver.. And now it's going to be a Seahawks tailgater this year when the season starts..

The state of Washington pushed it through as an RV you know it does not have a bathroom or running water and yes it is insured to..

Even with just the light I can see that you detailed the trim nicely. I'd go tailgating with you.

Just copy the url of the YT vid and then paste it in your reply in a thread. DON'T use the tools in the message bar, jut paste the url directly and it will embed the video.
