I've been looking around here and joined awhile ago, but never introduced myself. So, here I am with a 1946 Chevy/Wayne school bus that I am in the slow process of getting back onto the road. This bus has been in my family for many years as my Dad used for Boy Scouts and around the farm. Well...It's been sitting on the farm for quite some time and now I really want to do something with it. So far I've got a 1985 1 ton cube van chassis that I'm going to set it on and a 454 to put under the hood. I'm not going to "restore" so much, but rebuild and make user friendly. Nothing radical like a street rod, (I don't have that much $) but pretty much just a driver with some modern technology that I can have fun with. I've already used lots of info that I have found here and hope to use and add more. Thanks again for a great forum! 1946 bus | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Hi Larsen, welcome fron Scotland.
I had a look at the pics,what a cool project. I assume the pics were taken a while back,judging by the snow!
It's great that it also has some history and I dare say a few good memories with it too.
As you're already aware,this is a great place to hang out,the knowledge here is second to none.
Glad you could join us.
Good luck
Jock.

Its a "hot rod" but looks great. His "name" is phantomgas I believe. YOu might find his bus in the gallery.

Ive got to get over to Iowa and take a look at it and pick his brain some. If mine turns out half that good I'll be happy. Larsen, a fellow bolter also did an old school bus.

That said, breaking it down into lots of "baby steps" gets a lot done, keeps progress moving and you don't feel quite as overwhelmed by the scale of what you've taken on.
Glad to hear you are getting set up and looking forward to seeing some pix. If there is anything I can share, just let me know. Let the fun begin! | | |
