pics. 49 school bus

Here is a 49 school bus just sitting going bad. Painted up like a RT.66 dinner on the inside. Even has a jukebox in it.

I can't even put my hands in my pockets cause the mortor from building the stone fireplace has eaten the skin off my finger tips. Man thats painful. gloves yes i wear them but it gets in them anyway. NOW i use ductape on them then the gloves. LIVE AND LEARN.

Very cool bus. I would love to have that, but I would be sleeping in it. Besides, I have to get mine on the road first.

I think carnut and Moe Craig are on to something Dale! The bus looks like a perfect match for Rebel Yell. Think of the possibilities...a place to stay when going on long road trips or car shows...Dales' Diner...tourist attraction...or maybe just the challenge of getting her to run 100mph!

Glad to see you on the forum.

I would really like to see a school bus that is completely restored to its original state like the day the kids stepped out of it. I just think it would be a big hit at shows and gatherings.

Or if you wanted to go to the dark side with it:
(Part way to the dark side, it has a Ford Racing engine in it.)

Bars around here have been picking up a trend to drive people around and in a way keep them from driving. (At least part of the trip home) I bet that would be a real eye catcher.

Nice to see you around Dale. Hope the leg's all good now.

bus dinner

When i was able to work at the mills/powerplant/and other big jobs someone always had roach couse to sale lunch to about 1000 people. This would be great for that. But i already got my plate full . Just thought someone on fte might want it. It has a flathead 6 in it and he said it would run. I think it would look good with wood sides and do the inside with some really nice woodwork on the inside. Maybe a tour bus for all the snowbirds that come to FLORIDA. lol I should have the cabin done in 3 more weeks . Then i'm going fishing and maybe thin the gators out around here. After i sale the green truck i might build my 52 if not i'll have some nice parts to get sale. Hope i can get trueblue trucks to post some pics. of the green truck before i sale it. I know it will be OT but i'll post some pics. of the cabin in afew weeks. If anyone gets down this way yall got a place to stay. SHORT DRIVE TO PANAMA CITY BEACH AND ALOT CHEAPER !!!!! LOL
