Looks like a prison bus now...need some bars on those winders and you'd be ready to taxi on a fri/sat night.

That pretty badarse right there... I've been to Texas Motor Speedway for a few races and some folks have some really tricked out school buses there.
You need a potbelly stove and a window unit...

How much paint does it take to paint a bus?

just curious, what does a used bus like that cost, and to retrofit basically like you have? we have been wanting to do one for tailgating at Texans games..... never even thought to use it at the deer lease.

I did that whole bus with one gallon of paint beleive it or not
its a semigloss oilbase ultrahide paint from HD
23 bucks

spent more on masking tape and paper than paint itself

took the bus to SLP over the past weekend to see how she would handle the sand...it did better than expected, we even had to pull a guy out that had gotten stuck..

also a pic of the "shotgun seat" we built for the co pilot (my dog at the time)

lol at the dudes w/ the white chevy trying to go duning in SLP, everyone knows that sand will swallow your ride up.

Sweet ride, now all you need is a BBQ pit on the rear bumper and your set! Or maybe a jacuzzi and an ice machine...... so many possibilties, so many upgrades. Great Job!

I've been watching this one. VERY COOL! Lots of talent and hard work fancying it up.

Put the BBQ grill/smoker on the front so you can cook while driving to your destination and attract plenty of attention. :eek:

I thinks with a few more pictures, this is the thread of the year. Everytime I see this one pop-up, I go to see what is new.

I hope the ole bus is having fun at deer camp this weekend.
