The secret of riveting is to start on one side and evenly work your way up both sides, it allows the metal to stretch evenly and not buckle. That is why you had gaps. Regards from South Africa
Drilling into metal. When drilling into steel the rule is slow speed higher pressure. Into soft metal or material like aluminum it's high speed low pressure. Drills ( commonly called drill bits, but that's technically incorrect) heat up. When they get to hot like from using higher speeds they can lose temper and break. This can also happen if you side load the drill. Drills aren't designed for cutting by applying lateral pressure. A good way to extend the life of a drill and keep it cooler as you drill is too use drill lube. It's a waxy substance. We use it in aviation. I think you can get it commercially. Cobalt drills which are gold colored are the best for drilling through metal. Drills also dull from use. Reducing the temp through lube and technique will increase the life, but you can only get so many cuts out of one drill. If you save your dull drills you may be able to find a service to resharpen them.
thanks for these videos, i'd like to build my own soon and it's really nice to have people like you showing everyone how to get things done. around 11:10, your friend is stabbing through the sheet metal that you're holding in place with your two hands - i kept worrying that you might accidentally get stabbed in the hands!!
You're welcome! Ironically while I could see where the drill bit was coming through and it didn't stab my hands, I cut myself in some other capacity and there's a thick drop of blood on the sheet metal right after this time stamp!
I think riveting it would've been better if it was planned out, but that's what the learning process is all about. No harm in trying something new out.
I would advise against welding as the welds often break with all the shake rattle and rolling down the road causes. Always keep movement in mind when building things that…move 🙃
This is your second school bus conversion your first one that you guys did how much did you guys spend on the conversion trying to get an idea about how much it’s gonna cost
currently doing one with the latest products everything brand new no shorts here. 100's of trips to homedepot, many nights scalping offerup and a crap ton of days, weeks and months; now with 3 contractors and electrician. You will spend nearly $30K if you want one these skoolies that looks like its out of a postcard.

Justin, when the drill bits keep bothering up use a self tapping screw to make the holes with, it’s cheaper.
This!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Rust dissolve okay to use on the rust spots on the floor? I’ll get the rust paint! Thank you
What gauge steel did you use for the larger holes?

Did you remove all the caulking around the wheel well @mobiledwellings
Would welding the hatches have been an option? Both pieces are steel, right?

Did you use the floating subfloor again?
