bought a 48 school bus

well i didn't buy that lovely original 56 i posted a few days ago, but i did go and buy this, think its a 48, anyone an idea of the weight of this so i know what trailer to take to go pick it up, the plan is to turn it into a hot rod limo, running 1 ton axles and a lightning supercharged 5.4,

school name down the side will be St, Trinian's school, and will be used in the UK for hen parties (bachelorette party), you need to watch a st trinian's film to understand where i'm going, in the uk a lot, maybe 75% of women go on hen parties as a naughty st trinian's school girl (maybe just a british thing), so as the american school bus is known the world over as a school bus, i think a limo school bus will go down well in the uk
