Hey! :greetings: I'm a 17 year old senior in HS and I just bought my bus!
my grandfather lives in AZ, and so after doing about 4 years of research, I went out to visit him and by a bus who spent it's whole life in a phoenix school district!

I bought my bus from Tony at AAA bus sales, and its a 2010 Blue Bird all American RE, 40'!

lmk if you have any comments, tips, or anything, even though I've planned a lot, I'm still new and will take all advice I can get my hands on!

Great to hear a young person jumping right in. Good luck, dont get stressed about things, and don't be afraid to change what you have built if it does not work out the way you planned. There are many ways to do things.

Do you plan to do a full conversion stripping the skins and roof rasies or just removing the seats and retrofitting it with existing skins?

The latter is cheaper to do for a kid your age but just as functional.

Plus we like to see pictures of the build.

I am planning to do roof raise and doing a full all out conversion. The nice thing is I am going to college so I can continue converting it as I make money before I have to move in, and I have about 4.5 years to do it!
