What a great dad! UA-cam needs more content like yours sir!
I appreciate that!
So far it’s going great! No I’ve built two built bus’s when you start on the bathroom you put the shower in and the toilet, the sink, and the hot water tank all in that way you will use less pipes
@@SpeedBumpGarage I found out about the law it is needed because school children may think the bus is there bus resulting in an accidental charge of kid&apping
Very nice to see mom getting into it! Very cool!
She is excited about this one
Yeppers, I'm digging AJ's suggestion.... Double decker school bus sounds cool to me!!! Great to see Mom in there with all the boys....This is gonna be FUN!!! A+++
Thanks Dr. Lee!
I can’t wait to see the finished product. That A.J. Is a hoot, he really steals the show.
Jack is a hard worker and very intelligent. You are awesome parents. Just started watching you guys. Daniel Arms mentioned you guys and you do not disappoint.
Jack is a awesome kid! Very well mannered i hope my kids grow up just like him.. and il be watching this RV" build till alls done!
For painting the thing. The hood is where you can take the most time and get the best results. You could set up a little paint booth in the garage for it, prep it, prime it, and spray it like that. For the rest I'd really use a roller brush. It's not going to be perfect, for sure. But, if the nose is close to perfect it'll grab all of the attention!
Great idea! I think the hood will also be the hardest to prep
@@SpeedBumpGarage You could also farm that out! I doubt a paint shop would mind something so small with such a quick turn around. If the price was right, it would save you a lot of time and effort.
@@SpeedBumpGarage use a wrap to cover the hood make it a Partridge style wrap job ,eave the side rails black
Great job guys, mom and Jack did great job on the floor. Looking forward to following your progress on the bus. Also, looking forward to seeing Jack’s videos on growing stuff. Be safe out there, God Bless.
We have let’s more coming!
You can tell A.J. adores Jack! My family came west in a school bus conversion back in the 60's, I still remember wet sanding it so my Dad could paint it. What a great family project!
And good to see Momma Speed Bump on video
She is finally excited about a project!
Hi Jack..hi Aj. You two and your Momma are great helpers ❤
Yes they are!
I love the MOO D HOO sign on the side 😂👍👍
😂
You could have a bunk bed over the driver. I doubt the wheelwell can support a toilet. Good to see Crystal involved in this project. Have fun!
Thanks!
Jack you're an awesome kid I'm sure you make your mama and daddy very proud for being so young and so smart and knowledgeable
So glad y'all decided to do a camper with it. May I suggest looking at pop-up camper layouts for floor plan ideas. Also, tractor paint is a very economical way to cover all that yellow. So much cheaper . Can't wait to see what you come up with. Family projects are always the most rewarding.
Thanks Paul! I think tractor paint is the best option
If in doubt, always choose the lightest building material. 😁
Good point!
These kids are impressive! Love it!
Thanks!
Wow, so impressed on how the family works together on this project. I can’t wait to see more videos.
Thanks so much!
Wow..we never get to see your wife. Hi Sweetie. You have the most amazing boys. You are great parents and should be very proud. Take care all if you ❤
Thank you so much
Hi Carol! Thank you for watching 😊
Yes Sir!! Im so excited to follow along this journey
New video is live!
Awesome y’all done a great job on the bus.
Can’t wait to see what’s next.
More to come!
Can’t wait to see where this goes!
Me either lol
So Good To Finally Meet Mom ! --- She's got her hands full with 3 boys ---- Bless Y'all (Maybe make room for a little Bible verse plaque,too )
We keep her on her toes!
Very smart using your personal protective equipment! (P.P.E.) 😊
Back in the early 80's I found a 1951 International short bus that had been turned into a camper. It had a Chevy 283 with a truck 4-speed and a 2-speed rearend. I did a lot of work on it, but the outside windows were replaced with camper windows and the rest were covered with sheet metal. It had a stove with an oven, dinette, a double overhead bed, two bunks in the back and a bathroom with a shower. That thing was crazy cool and would fly down the highway easily at 70-75 mph. My family and I had a fun time with it, and we went all over western Colorado when we lived there. You have unlimited possibilities! Have fun, great video!
Sounds really similar to what we want to do!
I love the family work plan concept
Thanks
Your family is working their butts off on the bus I think you will have a lot of fun working on it
Thanks!
You all.did a great job cleaning out the bus. After you fix the rust, just get some laminate flooring to put in it. Easy to clean. So fun
Thanks Carol!
Daniel at Arms Family recommended checking you out. Glad he did !!! 😊
This is going to be cool you guys. And BTW Jack your are getting huge man, I can't believe how big you are next to your dad. Aj to, you're getting big there buddy. I think this is the first time we really see Crystal in a video, Hi there mom.
She hides from the camera a lot lol
Hello! Jack is almost taller than me 😢😂.
Great job to the boys and Crystal. All the stuff they did looked like it was really tedious and hard on the knees but it came out great so far. From a viewing standpoint though, this looks like a super fun project. And I love how you are trying to involve the viewers. Nothing I have any experience with so I can't help you there, but I will definitely be along to watch the build and hope to see the maiden voyage adventure soon!
Thanks Douglas!
looking forward to the adventures!
Thanks!
Hey dad, just a tip on sealing the wires with heatshrink, if you heat the shrink really hot, part of it will seal around the wire plastic, some will be a tube which you can crush with a pair of pliers and the heatshrink will seal to itself. It prevents anything getting down that tube and possible at the copper.
:)
Wow 🤩 !!! I hope you enjoy converting the Schoolie. A great family project, with future fringe benefits if you plan on keeping or selling. Good job !!!
Thanks!
Jack is such a good worker.
He sure is
Jack is a genius, AJ is hilarious with all his comments. Mom keeping up with the guys..priceless.
Since you are only going to use it for the weekends. You might want to put the bathroom on the back portion of the bus. (You can always add a metall carry cage to the back to store a water tank/Generator and or bikes/mini bikes kids stuff.) Also may want to invest in solar panels for the roof and maybe a portable power station like bluetti, eco-flow, or anchor or others (I guarantee you that Jack can get one to sponsor his page Since he's a bigger (more than 20k) channel. You and Crystal can use the fold out couch and you could make bunk beds on the same side as the couch and put dining set behind the driver's seat and kitchen behind that. Use the wheel well to put mini fridge (so it'll be raised up a bit higher than mini - less bending). The reason I suggest the bathroom in the back is because bathrooms on busses are very tight and uncomfortable. Save yourself the heartache and headache of wishing it was bigger. You can always make it a bit smaller and use some of that space for water heaters, water storage, batteries, solar set up, etc. But make sure Crystal has enough room to sit on the toilet spread her legs all the way and wipe her backside if needed. Because if momma ain't happy ain't no one gonna be happy. Lol.
Ain’t that the tooth lol. Thanks for the tips
Jack is one hard worker ... Your teaching him things. That will carry him well into adulthood.
Jack you're such a cool kid... Makes me wish I was young again, I'd hang out with you.. You keep doing you!
Came here from Arms Family Homestead - glad we did, great channel.
I an hardly wait to see the upcoming vlogs on the skoolie. It already an amazing start to the project. WTG!
Kent,
Wow! What a crew you have! My suggestions to start would be to build a floor structure and cover it with removable plywood panels. Make it deep enough to go over the wheel wells, give room for plumbing, electrical and insulation. I can see y'all going to car shows pulling a trailer with a rat rod loaded on it and staying in air-conditioned luxury right on site.
Thanks! I think I would have to raise the roof to do that
Wow ,thats a lot of work,amazing Job ,Mum and Jack!
AJ you're the Man with the Tool👍🤭.
This is gonna be Fun🎉.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Thanks 👍
Well, looks like y’all are going to be busy for a while. Lol that is awesome though.
Thanks for watching Brandon! Never a shortage of things to to around here lol
Lol
You don't need no help you got your own construction crew great job aj and Jack and mom and Kent .
Thanks Gene
Oh HEY Momma Crystal!! So nice to finally meet you. yay
What a family you got. Precious man
Thanks so much!
Love all the family working on the bus.
You guys are a really inspirational lil family.
Brotherly love from Australia. Your projects are great!
All the best...
Y'all have a great idea on fixing the bus up to travel around on weekends 😁. I took my 3 kids around within our state many years ago but we only had a station wagon. Great for lots of blankets laid on the floor in back and they had great views while I drove around to visit great places ❣️ we have great memories of Arizona ❤❤❤❤. You will have your own 👍
I really enjoy watching your videos and how you family is involved in the projects.
Your family is like a dream for many out there. Keep up the good work. And Jack what a son you have. AJ will be the same in a few years.
Work ethic for the kids. Sorry to say, these wonderful parents and their parenting skills are becoming rarer by the day.
I would sure go for a sub-floor giving a few access panels..Good for keeping wiring hidden thus having a clean look and also able to add any accessories later on that you may want ..They make a thick tar like wide strips that adhere to the ceiling to deaden the excess sound you will get when driving it..Thats what they use in auto assembly plants before the headliner goes in..i would use those for sure..You have Jack on the Job so i am pretty sure he will have your back on anything you want to do..Awesome project..can't wait to see your end result
Jack is awesome! So is AJ & Crystal!
Love watching this evolve.
Making many memories, thank you for sharing. God bless you all
Great job getting the bus started on the way to becoming an RV. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
Thanks 👍
Great to see mum having a go , kodos to her , great channel , awesome to see the boys learning and growing . Keep them coming and thank you .
Jack sure is a fantastic worker. You might was to recouping some of your money by selling the seats if the cushions are in good condition. For instance, a cafe or dinner with a school theme might want to use them or waiting rooms for pediatric dental patients might use them. I have seen some UA-cam sites on RV conversions. Keeping in mind that your conversion would be for weekend or vacation use would require a different floor plan than one used for permanent living. Coming up with a plan is exciting.
Thanks for watching
Everyone in the family highly motivated to get that weekend express ship shape!
Hopefully we can keep it up
Looking good! Looking forward to following along :)
Thanks!
So cool to see your family doing these amazing things. Great content!!🤲🙏
I’ve been watching your channel from the very early episodes. Something was special about this one. Hmmm I wonder, Oh yes Mrs. Speed Bump’s first appearance.
Turns out she likes school busses more than junk cars lol
@@SpeedBumpGarage glad to meet her and see y’all’s entire family together. Was very cool to see y’all all interacting and involved.
Hi! 😊
Great job on the bus. I think you will love a schoolie. It was so good to see your wife in a video ❤️❤️you have such a beautiful family Mr. Kent.
Turns out she is way more interested in having a RV than working on junk vehicles lol
But think of the fun y’all are about to have😃
Hi Crystal! It's so nice to meet the mama of those two adorable and fun boys. You've all done amazing so far. Thanks for the safety reminder AJ.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Hello! Thank you for watching 😊
I like a that Moo d hoo on the other side of the bus. Haha
😂
Such a great idea and excellent to see all the family getting involved including woody, Jack is such a natural and definitely not shy of hard work
BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ‼️ ✌🏿👍🏿✊🏿
GREAT FAMILY CAME OVER FROM ARMS FAMILY LOVED THE VIDEO
What a great kid! Jack you are awesome
You guys are a great family. I love it. ❤
Hey, you guys just found your channel and I must say awesome job on the Contin keep it up and I’ll be following your Skooly build
The foam inside the seats is valuable, and the steal can be used in lots of ways if you can weld.
You guys really stay busy , nice job,💯🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲😎
great job I can't wait until you guys finish the bus. the video makes me want to buy one
Do it!
Love it
Love that your family helps
Thanks!
13:18 wow
Daniel from Arms Family told use to check you guys out. Wish you guys the best of luck. Jack you can do anything you put your mind to.
Just watching you guys makes my back ache.
Beautiful family!
Oh man i found your channel watching FB shorts. I watched all your shorts and wanted more great content. I cant wait for you guys to explode with subscribers. You guys deserve it! Wish you nothing but the greatest success!
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm also a welder from Alberta Canada. Super cool what your doing!
Great job family!!!! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Thanks! We are excited
Resource A Bus Life Story is great at this
His name is Isaac
That looks like an awesome channel! Thanks
Daniel Arms sent us over here.
Cut the Bus-V wall on both sides so you can extend the walls out when parked.
On the interior?
I just started watching after AFH sent me here. I've got a 2005 Bluebird 12 Window just like yours, as well as 2010 BB and 2000 Chevy BB both Handy busses with the side lift door and I think 7 windows IIRC. Also a little 6 Window BB International and 1 2002 Thomas Freightliner. Jack has made mad progress already and doing exactly like I did, but I was by myself unfortunatley, by clamping about 5 vice grips on the bottom then going back up to the top to remove them 5, them back down under it for 5 more and repeat til I got all the seats out. Not fun.
Absolutely awesome video. I like your blue print layout. It's going to be a great family project and looking forward to seeing more videos. Buy tractor paint it would be cheaper. Tractor Ford blue.
I was looking at Tractor paint today! Thanks for watching
Looks like y'all are on the right track for painting. You know this would be a great time for Jack to learn how to spray paint a Bus.
This is going to be so fun to watch!! Jack, I like your vision!!
Thanks!
Came over from Arms Family Homestead! Cool video. Just subscribed. I hope lots of people take Daniel’s advice and subscribe. Now going to look for giant water melons & pumpkins!
Put caster wheels on few seats to have for family seating , much better then folding chairs of any kind. Those seats will be Super long lasting n strong.
Hello Daniel Told us about you! So I came here, and subscribe!❤
Great teamwork you guys are awesome
Such a fun project! I’m done laughing now. I’m full on jealous now! 🤷🏼♂️🙌🏼
Get one!
Came over from Arms Family - Love seeing the whole family involved - great video 😊
Thanks for coming
You're a good father to those boys.
One of the things I forgot to mention is you might consider magnetic switches on cabinet doors with interior led lights. (Magnetic switch like you see on alarm systems for windows and doors. ) They make single, and two wire switches. I use them on my trailer to light taillights on the tailgate. Just a thought.
Great idea! Thanks
Awesome! I just subbed ya! Im subbed to your son and he shared this out and I was like “sweet!” Look forward to it! Also all those poor kids that lost their lunch money😂❤
Thanks for stopping by! I'm surprised there wasn't more lunch money after over 15 years of use!
@@SpeedBumpGarage 😂that was prob from the last ride it took! The bus driver prob funded their coffee fund everyday with it daily!
It’s nice seeing your wife involved. I’m sure it’s lonely inside all the time. I grew up with three brothers and didn’t mind getting a little dirty. Of give momma a daughter!
Have a great idea about the outside of the paint it to make it look like a giant pumpkin take that to the fair
That would be awesome!
