looked like you were having way too much fun great project can't wait to end result another great vid

I'm a bit late to the party as I stumbled upon your channel only a few days ago. You weren't lying when you said this was dangerous @6:54. Glad it all worked out.

I used to see those naked buses getting driven from the factory, with the drivers in old flight suits. A mad sight for a kid, and probably illegal now. Thanks for the memory.

You guys made fast work of that, your boy driving it down the road cracked me up, I half expected him to take it for a wee rip

Bout had a coronary when Brandon bumped the tire, 4-5 days done in 1. Now what? I know, Fun done, time to put the new plasma cutter to work. Carry on! Great stuff glad I'm here.

That was awesome J.C.! It was also nice seeing your son wearing the WVU shirt. I'll bet Jonathan caught that detail as well.

I thought you was gonna work! Looks like you was screwing off and having fun!!

I should of known that you knew Jonathan W. as he is quite a builder himself. I have watched all of his... back on subject, that looked really dangerous but why live if you don't really live and that would look good on a work resume. He sure looked like he was having the time of his life. That goes in guinness book of records/LOL

Well Dang that was Awesome man! Wish I lived near you I'd come and help

that running chassis would make a great base for a parade float!

fully air conditioned streamlined non body

Looked like a new bus... Would love to own one but I can't drive and my income would never allow me enough money to get one..

Interesting video

Hey the bus body looks like it could make a good deer camp

Do you have more of these busses? If yes, are you selling any of them? Im looking at either an old school bus in that length or an old firetruck, as a project here in Denmark ;) thanks for alle the awesome project videoes!

Did you use the chasis for something else?

This very cool I am wanting to do the same thing I have a 1966 f500 I am torn on what I want to either remove my truck body and set it in the bus frame or remove engine trans and axels from the bus and use them on my truck this great I hope u make more videos to help me make my decision and I was looking more towards the 12 valve Cummins instead of the headache of the electronics of the 24

Now that looked like some beer drinkin hilljack fun!! Lol! I'm thinking OSHA video! At least put a hard hat on!🤙🤙

Oh my flashbacks of my days having to work on ambulances and they never came with a wiring diagram for the boxes or add ons.

I am getting the shakes just looking at that " rats nest " !!!

Do you have plans for the running chassis ? Or are you just pulling it all apart

That’s a Thomas Body. That bus was built in High Point, NC

WOW!

that bus has to weigh a good 5000 just the body

Very cool. Are y'all in WV? I noticed the shirt.

Is that a 5.9 or an 8.3?

I guess that is one way to get rid of your blind spots lol

interesting movie trivia: in the movie "The Mexican" a chassis manufacturer in mexico drives the bare chassis from one plant to another plant.

Thats one way to get 10+ MPG

Necesito un volante con dirección completa como la tiene ese bus.desde Colombia

I hope you put together a new bus with a lift... I thought the inside was nice.. Dirty but nice

quick stupid question,would you take an RV body off the frame the same way?????

What ended up happening with the chassis, cool to watch... sketchy but cool lol

You know , once the bodies is gone, staring at the chassis , it kind of gets ideas all over the place . Usually all are good and feasible , the only hard part is finally decided which . Lol, those are good problems , choosing !!!

Great video, i do comversipns for a living. I can strip a 40 foot flatnose bus in about 8 hours time of work.

Rip bus 2017-2017

Why was it taken out of service? Looked like it had plenty of life left in it. That body could make one hell of a playhouse or quick place to stay for a camping spot at a hunting lease or something along those ideas.

All that and no burnout!?!

Hahahahaha!!! Good times !!

Can you guys help me out??

👍👍👍😄

great stuff !!!!

That bus looks to nice to scrap

Ever put a mechanical dt in a 4300

Now what are you doing with that

Sell the bus body for a mini home. A lot more money and a lot less work!

AWSOME.....Please do mine.....

That school bus still in great condition why Destroy it. Can be remodel and some repairs.. mr Thomas built some good school bus.. that is very dangerous to lift that bus up.. those cables could come lose and the bus body will drop down.

Body off restoration! Are you scrapping the whole bus?

I wanna drive

U can use that body for a tiny house !!

That frame looks just like one that has spent it's life in northeastern Ohio! Driveing that chasse out from under the bus is one of those things that make your but pucker.lol

I can’t believe I found someone doing the same stuff that my sons and I do. It looks more crazy when you see someone else do it.

J.C., read the capitalized stuff for the gist of this rant that you know about. This'll bug me if I don't ask you. I'm a School Tax payer like everyone else. It's a property tax here. School taxes never go down unless we, the school district voters, refuse to fund the proposed budget. That bus looked pretty decent to me. If the other ones are roughly in the same shape, WHY WERE THE BUSES TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE? This one had no visible rust, it wasn't too torn up inside and the mechanicals are ok to reuse (some) or you wouldn't have bought them. Second: You took off the whole body, rather than cutting the "cab area" out of it first. IS THERE A MARKET FOR OLD, USABLE BUS BODIES." RATHER THAN COMPLETE BUSES? (Fantasy) "FRESH FROM THOMAS, REFURBISHED SCHOOL BUSES, ALL NEW MECHANICALS FOR RELIABILITY AND EASY SERVICING.... 8-) ) Around here the schools use a school bus company for their buses, easy to budget and they don't have to fight the voters for each new bus and how they dispose of the old ones. Voters want the District to get the most money possible from them.
