  5. don't know if we are going to run polished wheels or black
    wish I could find some steel 19.5s with the 8 on 6.5 BP near us
    students said they like polished lip with black centers and chrome caps and lugs

    the fronts are 17.5 in the picture

    That's awesome! Keep the kids excited about the skilled trade! We need more that are hungry and driven. They are doing a great job!
    I wish my shop class in school was more like your class. Mine was full of tobacco chewing mouth breathers who wanted their Hondas lowered or their trucks jacked up. No hot rods except mine at school.

    That should get some local recognition in the papers etc if they knew about it, Also....
    That shot puts the actual cool new size of the bus in better perspective.:cool:
     
  13. got to finish up the frame horns
    the tubing is just tack welded now, will be beefed up
    having trouble locating power steering lines for the hydyo boost

    looks like we gonna have to make them
    a student asked about the 2x4 where the spring go, I told them it would be ok because they are spring boards

    Man, This is looking Great! I cant believe no one else is commenting much, especially with the Youngins involved...
    Maybe we as a whole here are more or less becoming just a bunch of grumpy old men anymore???:eek:
    ...or maybe Im commenting enough for everyone:D....I like what you guys are doing;)
     
  17. lights on

  18. sometime its easier to believe the negative
    young folks are just as stupid now as we were then, they just document it for some reason
    anyway, if I needed attention I would have built a 32

    Seems like I had more fun when I was young enough not to know any better:D
    ...and by the way, 32s are cool but this old bus would grab my attention more if I were walking the rows at a show;)

  20. Well done sir!!! Have you taken it for run yet. Is the inside full of seats? Are you going to be able to use it with your students?
     
  21. hoping to test run later today
    will install the seats tomorrow
    we are driving this bus(hopefully) 450 miles to Charlotte NC for a science exposition this Friday
    we are taking abut 10 students with us(they will follow in a van for school ins reasons) they will ride in it into the show area

  22. Okay you are getting way more slack then they would ever give by me. I graduated high school in 1998. Even then this would have been shot down before it was ever started. They were scared of there own shadow. I do think the tide is changing back then all they pushed was college. Now we have a shortage of trade labor and this I know from experience. Looking back I sure am happy that I went to work full time after school. Safe travels and Gods speed.

    I have a hunch that is what the students say about Mr. Myrick too.
