This sweet bus belongs to a good friend of mine. It is also a factory walkthru, safari, and ambulance fan bus. Pretty much rust free too. Enjoy!

Nice. |

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon. |

I love this one thanks for posting.
Is that German Coffee?
I still think about converting my bus into a Coffee "van" and start a business selling coffee at events being I live for coffee, I might have to steal this design if I ever follow through What an attraction, priceless.
