Jack you're an awesome kid I'm sure you make your mama and daddy very proud for being so young and so smart and knowledgeable

For painting the thing. The hood is where you can take the most time and get the best results. You could set up a little paint booth in the garage for it, prep it, prime it, and spray it like that. For the rest I'd really use a roller brush. It's not going to be perfect, for sure. But, if the nose is close to perfect it'll grab all of the attention!

Hey dad, just a tip on sealing the wires with heatshrink, if you heat the shrink really hot, part of it will seal around the wire plastic, some will be a tube which you can crush with a pair of pliers and the heatshrink will seal to itself. It prevents anything getting down that tube and possible at the copper. :)

Back in the early 80's I found a 1951 International short bus that had been turned into a camper. It had a Chevy 283 with a truck 4-speed and a 2-speed rearend. I did a lot of work on it, but the outside windows were replaced with camper windows and the rest were covered with sheet metal. It had a stove with an oven, dinette, a double overhead bed, two bunks in the back and a bathroom with a shower. That thing was crazy cool and would fly down the highway easily at 70-75 mph. My family and I had a fun time with it, and we went all over western Colorado when we lived there. You have unlimited possibilities! Have fun, great video!

I would sure go for a sub-floor giving a few access panels..Good for keeping wiring hidden thus having a clean look and also able to add any accessories later on that you may want ..They make a thick tar like wide strips that adhere to the ceiling to deaden the excess sound you will get when driving it..Thats what they use in auto assembly plants before the headliner goes in..i would use those for sure..You have Jack on the Job so i am pretty sure he will have your back on anything you want to do..Awesome project..can't wait to see your end result

Since you are only going to use it for the weekends. You might want to put the bathroom on the back portion of the bus. (You can always add a metall carry cage to the back to store a water tank/Generator and or bikes/mini bikes kids stuff.) Also may want to invest in solar panels for the roof and maybe a portable power station like bluetti, eco-flow, or anchor or others (I guarantee you that Jack can get one to sponsor his page Since he's a bigger (more than 20k) channel. You and Crystal can use the fold out couch and you could make bunk beds on the same side as the couch and put dining set behind the driver's seat and kitchen behind that. Use the wheel well to put mini fridge (so it'll be raised up a bit higher than mini - less bending). The reason I suggest the bathroom in the back is because bathrooms on busses are very tight and uncomfortable. Save yourself the heartache and headache of wishing it was bigger. You can always make it a bit smaller and use some of that space for water heaters, water storage, batteries, solar set up, etc. But make sure Crystal has enough room to sit on the toilet spread her legs all the way and wipe her backside if needed. Because if momma ain't happy ain't no one gonna be happy. Lol.

I really enjoy watching your videos and how you family is involved in the projects.

Jack sure is a fantastic worker. You might was to recouping some of your money by selling the seats if the cushions are in good condition. For instance, a cafe or dinner with a school theme might want to use them or waiting rooms for pediatric dental patients might use them. I have seen some KZread sites on RV conversions. Keeping in mind that your conversion would be for weekend or vacation use would require a different floor plan than one used for permanent living. Coming up with a plan is exciting.

I just started watching after AFH sent me here. I've got a 2005 Bluebird 12 Window just like yours, as well as 2010 BB and 2000 Chevy BB both Handy busses with the side lift door and I think 7 windows IIRC. Also a little 6 Window BB International and 1 2002 Thomas Freightliner. Jack has made mad progress already and doing exactly like I did, but I was by myself unfortunatley, by clamping about 5 vice grips on the bottom then going back up to the top to remove them 5, them back down under it for 5 more and repeat til I got all the seats out. Not fun.
