You guys with your nice headliners are brave souls! I have done with Buses what you've done, but it soon became apparent I needed a truck…plus I once put a tiny tear in my DoKa's headliner which did my OCD no favours!

I now have a 1970 SC and have already loaded it more than the following pics, but in these ones I couldn't even wait until the hubcaps were painted… Very Happy

Last minute load-up of the bus carrying a few hundred pounds of LEGO bricks, some stainless steel armatures, four tool boxes, and a shop vac down to the local children's hospital for a playroom installation:

After doing a little cruising today, we stopped by the big box home store to pick up some stones for a fire pit.

They don't have Christmas in California. It never snows, and you can't have Christmas without snow.

If disco wasn't dead then that ball would still be in the venue it was in instead of rolling around in some dumpster divers van. Razz

Besides, what in the hell do you know about disco outside of Saturday night fever reruns? Laughing

Ahhh, you all are mesmerized by Robbie's shiny ball. But what you missed was the "Pantie dropper" in the passenger seat. That cute little dog is going to pull
more hot chicks for Robbie then disco haters. Besides, before Robbie cracks the first glow stick. He gets to ask girls if they want to see his ball without getting slapped. Nice move Robbie to have a dog, molly, music, dessert, and a bed. If this bus is rockin' don't come knockn'.

Hope you're not alone painting bus parts in some abandoned sub division Laughing

NaranjaWesty brought Chloe's engine down from Atlanta GA to here in Pensacola FL in late February. Tool box was just behind my head on the counter, with a 16 wrap of parachute cord holding it to the table bracket:

I don't think "Cougars" can "relive their hippie & disco days" as it was before their time. Wink Smile

For reference:

The "Feline" Scale
Based on a woman's age, this scale classifies women (who prey on younger men for their sexual appetite) as felines.

The scale is as follows:

Age 0-12: Housecat
Age 13-17: Bobcat
Age 18-21: Wildcat
Age 22-29: Lynx
Age 30-39: Puma
Age 40-49: Cougar
Age 50-59: Jaguar
Age 60-68: Panther
Age 69: Pussycat
Age 70-79: Cheetah
Age 80-89: Leopard
Age 90-99: Tiger
Age 100+: Lion


It's interesting that older men are just called "creeps"....

I didn't either until the internet revealed it. It is rather sad what the human race has become(or always was?).

You are welcome...I too, think Wink

Planted the garden this weekend with a little help from the bus. Very easy to load and unload everything. I've owned a couple of pickups in my life but you can't beat the ease of access with the bus. The kid at Lowe's couldn't believe the space and wanted to know where he could get one. Very Happy

This is a great thread and it's amazing the stuff people have hauled around over the years.
