the paint looks good, I remember someone once telling me that if the flames don't look like antlers that you are good to go, their is no resembelance so your good to go.
one more time masking the windows and then it's done.

I need a vacation! Been working really hard trying to finish the bus. Soon it will be time to take her out on the town! (we did take her out the other nite before she was finished...i just couldn't wait!)

clear coat is finished, so are the vinyl graphics. It is overcast today, I didn't have the best lighting, but i think you can see she is nice and shiny now!

I thought that this was the Keeper/Business Bus. For holding Mobile "Bachelor/ette Parties" and Wine on Wheels and stuffs.

i'm gonna do that with the next one!

although i should keep this one....since it only has 67K miles on it. It'll prob have near 68K when i list it for sale in a couple weeks. I love the rear end ratio too. it seems very foreign to me to not drive a bus with the pedal all the way to the floor all the time. Speed limit on the expressway in michigan for trucks is 60, so being able to cruise 67 on the flats and 70 on the slightest downgrade is really awesome. Especially after years of buying buses governed near 57 mph.

did you see/check out the other old bus that the kiwanas club had in the storage lot?

[lapeer20m]

yes i did, but it is a lot newer....like a 2005 or something, so it'll be a long time before it's for sale. Then the new one they replaced this bus with is 1 year old.

Last nite was fun.

Last night... I pulled ticks out of a stray dog and gave it a tick bath. You win.

I've already driven this bus almost 500 miles, and not the slightest little hiccup! I really should keep this bus for me, it's too nice to get rid of. Everything works, horn, all the guages, all the lights, brakes are perfect, steering is nice and tight...even the windshield washer squirter's work, as do the backup lights. I'll never find another bus as nice as this, unless i buy a brand new one. It's so nice to drive down the highway and be able to pass big trucks! The truck speed limit is 60 in michigan, and this bus will cruise 67 on the flat, and hit 70 on the slightest downgrade. Just immagine what she'll do when/if the govenor is turned up!

I'm just thinking out loud...the plan is still to sell her...i think.

Now I see why! Thanks for the pics!

[Papabear]

Ok, instead of lopping off the rear of my bus, I'll put a tub in her. But how do I tell the little mrs. about the "party favors" that might come with it?

[Sojakai]

Party Favors come in different styles and flavors. Just have to go shopping for something for everyone... Think of it like buying candy for Halloween. ^.^
