Wanna see it? C'mon down :ThumbsUp
You mean I have to take new pics? You won't settle for "old" ones? :Rofl There's been a few pics posted here before.

Here's just after paint, and the cedar trim hadn't even weathered yet.

That thing is cool, I could live in that forever. Did you start with a school bus? Diesel?
Hey Neon ain't you got some pics you posted during the build process?
Makes me want to become a nomad.
Wilbur you to find you a drop deck electronics van and convert it. Then just slide your tractor under it and take off.
Thanks! Yep, '93 International Chassis, Carpenter Body, just over 60K on it when I bought it. 360DTA (after-cooled turbo), it's a turd on the road, and gets 5-6mpg, but ask me if I care :Rofl
Yeah, G or someone found them and posted either pics, or the link to the post. I need to get off here and eat (haven't eaten yet today), so if they haven't appeared by tomorrow, I'll dig through my PB account and post some.
Get ya a bus, and a spot for me to park, I'll come supervise :ThumbsUp
That is awesome Neon. And I really like the little deck off the back, you done a good job on that thing.
OK, I was a Mod on the site where I'd kept a running thread of when the bus was converted, turned-out the site owner was a liar, but that's in the past. I left the site, and hadn't been back until just now, to snag the link to the thread containing the entire project.
Knock yourselves out :Rofl

G, not sure if there's any problems to my adding the link, I thought it was just regarding other fishing sites. If there is (a problem), just squash it, and accept my apology.
no problem.....its not a fishing forum
ZED entertainment center..............simply awesome addition. Second only to the deck that raises and lowers.
All you need now Neon is a double hitch and a full size boat. Lol

Know anywhere I could get a nice boat Bill? :Rofl Wished I could, we'd talk, but already at 60' length, add another 20+ feet, and I'd have my own one-man convoy. Then there's the issue of launching, might start a ruckus when I hogged the ramp with the bus :Rofl
some awesome stuff there brian you and gdg should have a tv show on home and bus renovations :biggrin
You gotta point. I pull two trailers all the time, but not with a bus. Lol
I don't think it would bother folks at the ramp tho. It's the coolest bus I've ever seen!!!!!
BTW, I got some nice boats in stock right now, and a great deal on a used boat or two. You could just leave em at my place till ya come back down, or you Could just stay here and fish, and go back home for short visits!!! Lol

If it wasn't for Dad, I wouldn't really have any reason to ever lay eyes on, uhhh....er....duh....oh, Indiana again. I do have a Brother and Sister there, but they seem to get by just fine without me.
See John, that's what you guys get for bein' nice to folks down here :yikes
Thanks Bill, who knows, maybe one day we'll talk. But I'd want a boat just like yours, only 3' longer with a 50 horse bigger motor :Rofl
So Neon are you Smitty in the build? how long did it take you from idea to bus.? I understand there was more thinkin and plannin time than actual working,not to mention shopping for parts.
Wait...to stay or go?
Yep, 1.5 years planning (before I even had a bus), about a year to build. Didn't really shop (for bargains/used) just bought everything new. Figured since I was gonna live in it, may as well start-out with everything new.
