chris when is was young i had a model of a bus like that if memory is correct it was skool bus.
heck i will donate time and energy for paint and body for that rj short bus special |
I wish it was available here but alas, it is a pic off the web. I do know of another one owned by a school bus company but it ain't fer sale.
|
actually that one has been for sale for awhile
http://www.racingjunk.com/Rat-rod/26...S-RAT-ROD.html one of my employess went and looked at it thinking the guy would want $1000-2000 for it. He is asking $8000! :roll: |
Low miler, one owner, ran when it was parked 24 years ago?
|
When I say 'shortbus' I mean 'S H O R T' bus....

Chip Foose did one a while back for John Force on 'Overhaulin' like that one... turned out good. Personally, I like the Rat-Bus at the bottom!! The gate on back can be purchased at Home Depot too.

That is the ugliest rat rod I have ever seen! lol I'm not all that crazy about rat rods anyway. That's the cool thing about people having different taste. You end up with all kinds of crazy stuff people build. |

My new name for them is 'RAD RODS' as they are a completely radical direction from anything traditional, pushing the boundaries of conformity. Not a single one is the same as another, like 'billet rods' tend to do.

Sorry for the BIG picture, RJ isn't letting my smaller image post.

I've seen a few that were pretty cool. I'm just not into the thrown together junk look. Bad thing is it would be a perfect thing for me to build. Put my best effort into it and people would think I built it on purpose to look junky. lol
That much bare metal and rust would give me a panic attack! I know they get clear coated and are suppose to look that way, but... |
Yeah, I hear you Wabb... a lowered 1975 Granada (w/a 6 cylinder too) in primer Black with pained Red/Black wheels should not count as a "Rat Rod"... some have taken the Rat Rod movement WAYYYY TOO FAR. However a Model A slammed with a little rust is awesome to me.

Hey Sam here is you a ride :!: :!: :lol: Mark |
Granted there are many that are literally thrown together 'junk', there are many more that are rolling works of metal art, and even MORE that blend it all together and they come out real nice. It all depends on one's taste, ya know !
'Radically pushing the boundaries of conformity' |
I know this sounds crazy, but I actually like looking at stuff I don't like.
It's cool to see something I wouldn't build or I don't like, but know that somebody else thinks it's cool. If everything was designed or built by what I like, it would get boring pretty fast. That makes sense to you? |
well mark if he "donates" the bus and everybody "donates" partsi'll put her togetherl LOL :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:
|
or change the donates to everyone sponsors lol

Tow w/ that... I think that would be cool. Definitely different.... |
Don't know if you guys saw the show but Chip Foose actually stole John Forces' old short school bus that he had bought from the town where he grew up in yrs. ago. Foose comletely restored it and Force didn't even realize it was missing from his shop's back yard. When they brought Force to see the restoration he actually cried when he saw it. I kow it's irrelevent because both of the guys have more money that GOD, but it was a neat restoration.
Zip. |
yea it was seen it twice
|
