Well the Big Blue Bus Project is coming along very well. I was over working on it today for like six hours. All the seats are now gone and all the aluminum trim is out. I swept it out and cleaned things up. I'm ready for the new floor and the side walls. I will put 3/4 inch plywood on the floor and sand it and varnish it with polyurethane. The walls up to the windows will be tongue and grooved pine. I pulled the rear heater out, that was a real life experience. I had to grind a lot of the screws out that was holding it cause they were so rusted and rounded over. I then turned off the heater line to the rear bypass and cut the line to try and loop it back on itself. Well all hell broke loose, antifreeze everywhere. It took me ten rags and three showers to get the stuff all washed off, and one hour to clean the bus up. After that I fixed the loop and tightened the clamps down and called it a day. Any time things start going wrong its telling me to call it a day.
I have found the theme I want to paint the Bus. I'm planning to paint it in remembrance of the
partridge family show. It was a sitcom that aired from 1970 to 1974. I'm in love with the 1970's , live was still fun then. We lived and cared about things back then. I have always like the show when I was a kid and I love attention... so what better way to kill two birds with one stone. Here is a video I did last week on the bus. I will put another one up next week of the progress from the past few days. Check it out.!!!!!!!! Here is the link....
Well here is what the bus will look like on the outside anyway by the month of June. are you ready for this. Tada!!!!!!!! the only difference is the bus in the picture is a 1957 chevy round nose school Bus, and mine is a 1990 International deisel, School Bus.
