Hey 4speed, Don't look now, but your message is scrolling across the screen. Maybe you need to adjust your horizontal hold.

Ah, -4speed is having fun with his html tags.
Thank goodness he can't run javascript in here. At least I don't think he can.

Hey got to show off the new hobby! The site doesn't support javascript that I know of. Don't worry we can get back to the school bus topic now. -4speed

Well I was hoping the bus was like the 54 f100 I'm working on now. The old owner worked on it for 10 years then sold it with a ton of parts. I don't know if it's even still there and how much he was asking for it. I really don't need another project so I hope it's really expensive.

Hey Josh, Wow, nice job. Are you considering buying it? It looks like it has a lot of potential. How much do they want for it? John

It would be interesting to have someone on the board do a bus. I'd do a bus but I'd want a 48-56 though.

You know 4speed, I tried floating a trial balloon out there this weekend with the wife. She was not too happy with the idea of another project.
So I guess I better not chance it. I even showed her my old shirt "Low Life High." It was a 40s era school bus we saw a couple of years back. Oh well, just to dream of what could have been....

Ahh well, at least you tried. I bet Daryl's been itching for a school bus. I might be trying him

Great idea, Daryl's project looks like it's done so he can start anew. I've got a good set of 3.5s he can have for the rearend!

it was still there this afternoon. i just dont want to see it end up as a beer can. i tried my wife this weekend again as well and got the same results. somewhere along the lines i saw a 48-50 bus with a chopped top and lowered if i remember correctly. this thing would look killer like that. and its gutted so that screams hot rod RV. could you imagine rolling up to a campground with something like that.?

Josh, is there a phone number on it? May I could "look at it for a friend". If you know what I mean.
