The bus is in Bartow Florida but we can get it anywhere it needs to be. 1991 All-American. I have everything needed to convert but work to much to complete. I think I want to raise the roof though.

Re: seeking someone to hire to build my bus

I live in michigan, an hour north of detroit. I've built 4 jacuzzi buses and sold them all. I have not raised a roof before, but i'm sure it's not rocket science.

here are the links to my other buses..

jacuzzi bus IV

jacuzzi bus III

i'm a full time firefighter/paramedic, but i only work 9 shifts per month.

my buddy phill who is also a bus guy here on skoolie and i could even drive the bus up here if you want....well, i haven't talked to phill yet, but i bet he's game.

Re: seeking someone to hire to build my bus

here are links to youtube vid's of two of the buses. I wasn't into video yet with my first 2 buses.





this next bus was much too nice for the playa, it was sold to a limo company.

Re: seeking someone to hire to build my bus

dear lapeer20 this bus is needed for us to live in due to my husbands work. he is on the road constantly and likes his family to be with him. so we havre some very specific ideas as to what we need for this second home to have. we are not on a real tight timeline as we are restoring a 1971 vintage airstream as we speak.. so the bus is for the family the airstream is for his life alone on the road.... we have already torn out the seats. stripped another travel trailer for windows and appliances and started the inside at the bedroom but I think that needs to bee taken out and a new plan put together. I bought the bus on ebay in payson arizona and i have been in love ever since. all traditional rv's just put me to sleep.. we have already driven her and when I say her I am referencing (aunt bee) our blue bird beauty, across the country once, to get her to florida let me just say BIG ADVENTURE... how would I or my husband be able to talk further with you about our project and our vision. please let me know I would really like to get her on the road to FABULOUS......
