Art & Inspiration Tech School Students Doing Good

Cant view it but glad to here you got er fired up.

 

this morning

this evening

had an awesome group of students get a lot of stuff done today

 

side shots
got to determine which way to go on the wheels

 

Looks like shes coming together

 

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.

HAHAHAHA
we have those too
it just depends on how you focus their interests
it was the 'lifted truck' and 'Honda' students that helped us all day yesterday

 

Something like this?

 

thanks
I have the matching aluminum wheels to run on the front
going to pick up some 225s and check the fit
we have 245 19.5s on the rear

Sam Memmolo visited us today
supper cool

 

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.

 

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
all the stuff from the part stores are not fitting
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

 

getting a little closer

 

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???
...or maybe Im commenting enough for everyone....I like what you guys are doing

 

lights on
thanks to our automotive instructor and students

 

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
...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

 

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?

 

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

 

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.

finally got some steel 19.5s

 

Updates?

 

Made the 450mile trip just fine. Currently at unc chsrlotte for the science fair

 

Science is Cool

 

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