[6'9"Witha69]

Did anyone else see this? John Force gets the Overhaulin' treatment for a 56 Ford Bus!

I thought it came out OK but loved the reactions of Mr. Force himself!!

[Bill Howell]

Very Cool Nick. I have always wanted an old bus like that to build a cool cruiser out of. There is one in Daytona every year that has on the side.... S-COOL BUS.
That would be a great Power Tour cruiser for several to go together in. It would get more attention than the average car for sure.
Thanks for the link.:worship:

I thought that was the coolest thing ever. For them to do a bus and not your typical musclecar was real cool of them. I'd rather have that than your typical SUV as a family hauler. And John Forces reaction was priceless. The man definately knows how to cuss that's for sure.

Here is a couple pictures of another one that was here at a car show last year. Man I just love these things.:bananna2:

Great theme to the bus. Bill, I'm not positive but that may be #156 in vehicles you are going to get before you die. Hurry up, times running out for us old cat's. You are great Bill, I'm pretty sure I'm coming to your own event this fall. I just have to make sure my belly can handle all the laughter that weekend.

You will have to pace yourself if you can come Roger....lol
I will do my best to keep you away from Bob J.
He alone will keep you in stitches.....funny guy.

I hear you on the collection, I have been looking thru the book that came today with the lineup for the Barrett Jackson auction next month. I can find at least two cars per page I would love to own, and there are over 300 pages...:eek:

I will never own half the ones I would like to, but I can dream....lol

Really there are only about 10 cars I would really like to have in the garage, but the checkbook keeps getting in the way..

ain't that like the short bus you rode to grammar school when you were 18?

[Bill Howell]

Ok, who wants one really?

Of course I rode the short bus in school Bob, why do you think I like them so much now.....
I was president of the fifth grade, for four straight years.:candle:

like Force hasn't got enough money to do his own bus. That's several guys that are pretty well off that have had their cars done...wish he'd pay me a visit..

I remember back when Overhaulin was about fixing up a car for a guy that couldn't afford it. Fulfilling a dream.

This is sorta like doing the car for Lance Amstrong and Cheryl Crow.. both have more money than god.. lol

Nonetheless, the bus is very cool, but I liked when they did the stuff to average joes..

damn Bill, that one looks like the one you rode when you were on that one year vacation at Milledgeville..but it don't have bars on the windows.

I still refer to that year as a hiatus.......lol
The rubber room was my favorite....

The buss Bill posted looks like a bus that used to come to the local shows back home in Maryland It was out of Delaware it sad "Low life High" on the side. It stared out front wheel drive and then they redid and made it rear wheel drive I swear that is the same bus just renamed.

you gave new meanng to "bouncing off the walls"..

[Bill Howell]

Brian, that may be the same bus. One thing that disappointed me about it was the Monday after the show, I saw it on a 5th wheel trailer, being towed home. :hand:

I would much rather see it actually being driven.

maybe you'd like to see him driving it...could you imagine meeting him coming down the road with the visibility he has with those skinny windows and that obnoxious blower obstructing all but his straight and left vision. He couldn't see squat across the right side of the vehicle...better off hauled..I wouldn't get out of the electric chair to drive that pile..

Agree completely. The one good thing about the Force bus (other than its cool factor) is I think it will actually be used in the community for charity purposes. He just seems like the type to turn his gain into a positive for someone else. Let's hope anyways.:fingersx:

I'll have to agree that Overhaulin' cars for those that could afford to do it themselves is ridiculous but the bus is still cool. I just wish they would do cars elsewhere besides Socal. Or how about different builders across the country Overhaulin' some cars to mix it up a little. Brizio, Johnson, Trepanier and so on. It might help to spark some new life into the show. Especially with the same old pranks being played. I swear I don't think they could get me that easy.

kinda like the show Punked...you wonder how some of victims could be that naive. They tried it on Bill Goldberg..he had them pegged the whole way...that particular episode was very funny...especially when the big rig truck missed the motorcycle he was supposed to run over..

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

i can dig..

[Pro-touring towncar]

Seems like overhaulin is only doing builds in southern california and for famous people. Figures a decent show going to the rich yuppies.
