Took my bus down to the Hot wheels car show in Elsegundo today. Both Adam Corolla and Jay Leno stopped to check it out. Leno came back a second time and was asking some questions about it. Pretty cool day

Very cool. Both of them are car guys, not Hollyweird.

Are those P-Chassis 19.5's on your bus?

Probably should fill the class in on that bus...I see its got an inline 6 with a hairdryer:D

It’s a 1954 Chevy c4500 Wayne bodied short bus. eBay, alcohol, and pay pal is a bad combo. I bought it as a rolling shell. It has a hot Rodded 5.9 Cummins in it. Compound turbos, camshaft, more fuel. Probably makes 500–600 hp and 1000-1200 ft lbs. It has a nv4500 5-speed and a gear vendors behind it. The front suspension is from a c30 dually and the rear end came from the same truck. The rear 10 ft of frame and 4-link is all custom by me. It is on air bags so it rides real nice. There are pics and more info on its own site. Thespecialbus.com. My dad and I did Hot Rod power tour in 2015 in it. 5800 miles in two weeks. Had a blast.

I always wanted to do something like that. Back home those old busses are everywhere.

Well done!
