back to school WAY BACK

well it's 5:30 am here in lovely lake hopatcong nj where i have been held prisoner my whole life.lol

i can't sleep so i thought i would show this bus. i made this bus to look like a bus from my town that ended up way in the back of the junkyard. it is made from three busses. the nose motor and chassis was a signature series 1941 gmc fire truck. the body is a hubly that i cut up and the floor is a buddy l.

i molded the body parts together using bondo and painted and aged. all of the windows are real glass/ i made the side trim from aluminum corogated cut into strips and held in with pins to look like rivets/ i made all of the aged tires and the drum i made out of bondo/ the top lights are handmade using lenses from kits/ i made a stop sign and a hand grip and put in diamond plate steps.i made all of the seats from heavy wire and each one is padded and upolstered. why i did this i do not know because after i loaded the bus with junk you can't see them anymore.but i guess just knowing they are in there makes it kinda cool.i will let the bus tell it's own demise.lol
