Your sister definately needs to start her own channel. She is gorgeous and has a great personality. She made this build entertaining. You made it technical enough to be helpful to allow others to learn.
I agree. I have been trying to encourage her. Haha
Love Christina and Dale in the video.Can't wait to watch you help little sis build her bus 🙂
It would be so much fun to get the opportunity to help her on her bus!
Please do a series on your sisters build! Your sister seems awsome and you guys seem to have fun working together.
I’d subscribe to Christina’s shuttle bus build!
Of course she should start her own channel! Navigation ANYWHERE! 😉 I would love to follow her own build. Remember that there isn't many young women out there and i think she could be a huge inspiration to youth, young adults and women out there that want to do stuff, but have not so many to get inspired by. You go girl! Bus looks phenomenal, and cute! LOL. Thanx for sharing!
Your sister Christina is hilarious and fun! I’m glad she’s helping her bro out. I for one would love to see your sisters shuttle bus when the build is finished.
So this one became the Christine and Dale show, and they nailed it!! Christine, get that camera rolling, we're all ready to watch you put your own bus together. And with Dale as your supervisor, you can't possibly lose. Oh and Michael, good job on the lights, between naps apparently. (Maybe you shouldn't let them near your camera, they give away all your secrets.) Can't wait for next week and the inside to start. And to see what Christine and Dale are up to next, of course!
Your little sister is adorable! I would definitely subscribe to her channel if she's building a bus.
Your sister totally needs to start her own blog, she is FUNNY.
I for one would love to watch your sister convert her shuttle bus and vlog her bus life
Yessss I want lil’ sis to start her own channel, I’d definitely follow that build as well! 🇲🇶🙌🏻😍 can’t wait to see the work inside this one 😅
As a long time school bus and van contractor, I can tell you that the large size brake/tail and turn signal fixtures are made as an exact replacement for the old bulb style fixtures. They are available at your local Blue Bird , Thomas , or IC school bus dealers. Also School Bus Parts or Bus Parts Warehouse and several other parts suppliers have same fixture. They would save a lot of time and work for installing without modification of the holes ! Just a word to make life a little easier. The school bus parts manufacturers have thought of everthing !
Love seeing your Christina in your videos. She seems totally cool!
She is the best sister.
Dales the best, those t-shirts are money!
Another great video Mike. I'm not sure if I enjoy seeing the progression more or your child-like giddiness with each finished project. Really enjoying this series. 👍
Love your MacGyver skills to get the led lights working.
Your sister should get her own UA-cam channel. Your bus is looking great 🙂.
DALE!!
I freaking love you haha Your excitement for building buses is adorable. I love Dale's updates. 🤣 Idk why but it always makes me smile when your family shows up in your videos. Still laughing at Dale haha
Those lights look absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Dale is such a trip and so funny. You all work great together and it’s so nice seeing things come together especially while working with great people. Love y’all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great job Mike and crew, Little Navi is looking brilliant!
I have no intention of ever building one of these on my own but I love watching them be built lol. Great job!
Determined DIYer sand here though I’ll buy mine complete. Maybe Mike can build me one out of a sprinter.
I put them same headlights in my Express and they make a huge difference. I love them.
I am already happy with them and the best part is that they don't shine really high so it does blind other people
There is so much more involved with a bus conversion than I would have imagined ... so much better than an overdone RV, though. I'm really enjoying this.
She should totally start her own channel she’s adorable
The bus looking so sweet and your little sister so adorable and beautiful and funny, keep it up guys.
Christina, represent!!!! You go Grrrl! Ah, Mike, for your next build, will you pre ensemble the entire deck on the ground. (Paint, Drill all your holes, etc) and then partially disassemble, and bring it up on the roof? Awesome lights, well done!
Aw man, I think we need more Dale haha! Such a great crew!! You are pumping out these videos, watching you get so excited about your build helps us remember why we started!! Love those lights, we will need to look into those LEDs!
'at a boy Dale, you tell 'em. Crack that whip! Great job!!!
Your sister should totally make her own UA-cam channel
Sis should definiely do a bus building vlog, shes a cutie
Ew
Whoa there, yes Horny Police right here
Lol... As a member of the grey hair club... I do like Mr. Dale!!! He's got to be so much fun on the build site... 😂 and that last clip with him and your sister, just priceless!!!!
Dale is funny! You have like a built in camera man
Looks bad ass!! You guys are tearing it up. Congrats the color wood trim and lights look great!
Please start a channel Christine! Would love to watch your videos ❤️
🙋♀️I think she should start a new UA-cam channel!!!👏👏👏
Are you for hire?? Your patience is amazing!!
Careful Mike. You're about to make Dale ,'MURICA's new favorite sidekick.🤣🤣🤣
He's a hoot!!
Dale is the best !! He is welcome anytime on the build
LEDs for the win
Great job on the outside, love the lights!!
Dale always in the backyard 😂😂
Those LED's are amazing!

By far one of my favorite episodes. Love the soundtrack. You & your sis are an epic duo 😎 Best wishes & healthy vibes
Go Christina !!
Not quite enough lights ... for a Christmas tree. Dale was funny, but he's right. Ya gotta have some fun ... and take a nap, occasionally.
Bus family!!!! Heck yeah! Go Christine, go! i will watch!
Great Videos and Dale is King !
Every Video just gets better and better
Thanks!
DALE!!!!!!! LOL
Thank you for letting us know about the parts needed I'm this video. I hope we get more parts lists.
I want to try to share more specific information about parts in future videos.
@@navigationnowhere maybe a dumb question. The link you gave for headlights was for a jeep. Did the jeep lights fit the chevy?
@@davidmace856 The lights fit my bus perfectly. I was a little confused by the listing myself because they are marketing them to both.
So excited for you! Can't wait to see the start of the inside build!
Sub floor is going in next
Love watching your progress, with you every step of the way on this one.
That looks absolutely amazing! At first I thought you're going to put LED in the entire roofside like the other project you did..as in "It's Christmas everyday theme😅🤣
Haha, I am a big fan of Christmas but, not this time 😂
Yes I was one of the many that asked about the LED lights lol. Look sharp and give your bus that one of a kind look. Loving these videos and looking forward to the next one! 👍👍👍
When everyone was asking about why I didn't do LED's. I was thinking... just wait they are in shipping. haha Thanks for supporting
very good video you making me look bad lol dale. lol sis needs a channel I know a guy that can help her he is in New York lol awesome video 👍👍🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
Love your videos Mike I gotta hand it to you it's really taking shape and the rack your building and using clear cedar 4X4s
Posts just shows how high the quality is
Their spendy very spendy but we'll worth it.
Yes she should start her own channel
Watching your deck and while I'm still looking into designing a bus.. I think ill over hand the roof deck by 18" or so creating an eve over the back door..
Sweet accomplishment!👍🏾 Your dad is funny. ROFL 😀
Who thinks she should start her own youtube channel? ✋✋ my two hands and ✋✋ two from hubby!
Now I finished the video and scream *yeah, let there be light!* 😂
Also the end of the video is hilarious! 🤩👍🏻
Ahhh we're working on a shuttle bus toooo. I want to collab with her!! :D :D :D
Good luck RV Davy
Love that handlebar mustache shadow at 4:28!
You guys did a fantastic job with the LED lights. 👍☕️🍀
Great job guys it looks really great!
Thank!
She should!! I'd watch!!
Your work is excellent.
Dang sir, the lights are no joke amazing!
Awesome job. Looks amazingly beautiful!!!!!!!!!
That looks great guys well done
looking good mike!
Wow great you have lights see you next video I’m so excited for you things are coming together
Dude!!! this looks great!!!
I use Locktite Power Grab X8 glues metal together 24 hour cure time.Works better than welding sheet metal! if you make a mistake you will have to cut it out!
Led's are the only way to go.
You guys are so cute, how you get so excited about lights. LOL now all you Gotta do is figure out how to put ground effect lights under the bus. On a foggy night they look so good. but I know how you feel. It is exciting and damn that looks good. Great job, see you on your next video.
Your predicting the future. Just wait till a few videos from now when I show you what we have been working on (under the bus) in the background. haha
Navigation Nowhere can’t wait. I know it’ll be awesome.
Since you didn't use carriage bolts to attach the wood cross beams to the steel frame, you should caulk around the countersunk bolt heads. Otherwise water will accumulate around the bolt head rusting the bolt and rotting the wood. Looking good so far.
Thanks, it’s not on film but everything was caulked and sealed before it was final installed.
Christina should start her own UA-cam channel.
Looks Good!
It looks nice so far
It would have been great to see a side by side comparison of the old lights with the new LEDs though.
dale is lit
Question for you, where do you go to find such busses as these? This lifestyle is my current plan for the future, thanks for all the good tips 😁
Wow it looks amazing. Great job ya'll.
LED Turn-signals, will REQUIRE an "ELECTRONIC" flasher unit.
Because they draw insufficient current to trigger old-fashion flasher-units.
I switched mine out with no problems.
Love your videos only thing that drives me nuts is the same song/tune on repeat for20-30 mins...maybe consider adding more variety to your audio choices? Bus is looking really good though! Can’t wait til you get to the inside!
Thanks, that’s a good suggestion I’ll try that out.
Navigation Nowhere maybe consider a platform like soundstripe or artlist. i use them both for commercial videos. there are thousands of songs and you can find certain albums/playlists/artists that have the right vibe so your videos can have different songs but the same feel to them
The lights look great!
Small explanation on the relays.. Normal relays are configured for load. Each bulb pulls a fixed amount of load. the relay is configured to blink faster if that load drops (like when a bulb burns out) to notify you there's a problem. When you replace the regular lights with the very efficient LEDs the load goes to nearly 0 so the relay buzzes like that. They make LED relays that don't have this feature and simply click on a timer.
it's looking GREAT so far! this is awesome
Thanks!! It’s starting to really move !
Im using 1/4x 1/4 inch rivets to fill holes in floor on mine!
Wow talk about BRIGHT
To avoid having to replace the flasher they may a load bar to put in at the lights to make the flasher work properly. I would have added plugs on the lights instead of hard wired in this way when something happens to the lights just put a new plug on the light and plug it in this way the wiring won't get to short. But looking good and while you're up there I think it's Tampabaybusmarket for so Florida ones
Great video
