Fizzle Fazzle

Delighted to finally get Fizzle Fazzle on the road. Build time was 5 weeks including tear out. Managed to do the lot on the street in front of our house in Toronto. Nice way to spend Covid!

I gotta say, 5 weeks is hard to buy if you have all the necessities--like fresh insulation, hot and cold running water, fresh/grey/black tanks, propane, range, heat, a frig, some solar with a house battery pack and a nice inverter generator.

If on the other hand you have built an "Ikea meets Mr. Bus" then I can see 5 weeks as being doable and that's OK if that's what you desire. Fill us in on the whole backstory we'd all love to get a leg up on how to do a conversion that fast.

I'm really liking the look of this interior but I just can't seeing it happening in 5 weeks? And working on the street? If so that's an amazing amount of work, congrats. What about rust removal? If that's an Ontario bus you would have ate up 5 weeks on rust. I grew up in Toronto and southern Ontario so I'm comfortable in saying the only way that bus wasn't a rust box is if it came out of Ontario California.
Not meaning to discredit your hard work but amost makes me wondering if we're being punked by the $115.000 crowd

My bus has been in the shop for 5 weeks getting the exhaust fixed,...


Seriously though, I think I could finish my bus in 5 weeks if I had an unlimited supply of money.


Nice looking bus though!
