    These old historical relics represent the very best of how America used to be until the build quality went down under. I've always had a much stronger affinity towards the classic and vintage machines that once roamed the roads back when they were in their prime. Bringing the bus back to life was perhaps one of your best life decisions made yet thus far. Mad props for waking up the beast that spent far too long in silence and neglect.

      i generally hate the "like they used to" attitude because it dismisses something much better and more impressive than just being built different, though i would agree they knew better how to make a vehicle that looks good
      every era has its share of trash produced, but it's easy to forget because everything we see from "back in the good ol' days" was lucky to have one or two out of the following three qualities:
      designed well
      built well
      well taken care of
      and survivorship bias has allowed us to forget the trash that was produced like the king midget

    This is one of the most enjoyable videos that I have seen in quite some time. You are really dedicated to do the job the way it is supposed to be done, and you hit it right out of the ballpark . Congratulations and I might add, the coachwork was done by Superior Coachwork in Detroit Michigan after after the rolling chassis was finished. Originally, it was fitted with a cab, and Superior cut the back of the cab off. And they fabricated the bus bodywork to the cab. The rest, is history.

    I'm so glad I clicked this video. First time seeing this bus, wish I found it sooner! Amazing job! And what a beautiful ending. I can't say enough about that. Huge respect for getting in contact with the church and driving there for the reunion! Brings a tear to a feller.

    God bless Mary. My parents also drove a school bus every Sunday to pick up children from the inner city of Minneapolis to take them to church. My mother was a Sunday school teacher and dad drove the bus and I was in the front seat every Sunday. Brings back so many memories. Thanks for this video.

    From start to finish .... an Amazing Adventure! I love the Scripture message on the back door. I was born in 1948 but I think the ole bus is in way better shape than me. You did a great job getting it road worthy. I reckon I'll have to wait until I crossover before the Master ✝Mechanic gets me completely restored! 😉 Keep up the good work, my friend.

    Well done, sir. I imagine bringing that bus back to Stafford Baptist for a reunion was full of emotion for everyone involved. Kudos to your lovely bride for supporting your efforts, as well as others that have helped.
    My other fave is Derek Bieri and Vice Grip Garage. He's been at it a while (over 400 vids) and has a lot of fun with the videos and the abandoned cars he finds a way to bring 'em home.

    I really enjoyed watching your video. Two of my friends were watching and at first I thought I'd better find something else to do till this is over, but I couldn't tear myself away! Watched the entire video! I don't believe I've ever seen a man work on an engine and not once get frustrated and curse at it! Well done! Learned a few tjhings and enjoyed the entire journey. Thank you very much!
