TNT Bus

Me and some of my buddies were eating at The Great Wall and in came Herm with the family. The family was so huge they made Herm look approachable. We waited for his family to get up and told Herm hello, nicest stranger I have ever met. Throughout our meal I could not help but look at his mom and think... poor lady.

TNT if you are monitoring the thread hit me up about a flat screen for the bus. I work for a Distributor of them and can give you a deal. We have a clearance center that I get updates from weekly.

Any help with the TV would be greatly appreciated, let me know what ya got.

What are the box cabinets in the 2nd picture?

---

The cabinets consist of 3/4 inch plywood for the doors and sides. We jig-sawed the LSU out on a template and then used it as a guide for our router. Behind the LSU is expanded metal that was spray painted John Deer Yellow. The cabinets were framed up with 4x4's and we then burnt all of the wood grains and applied a Brazilian Rosewood gel stain for a finish.

I have always thought about doing this but I hear it is a nightmare to keep those old buses running?

---

We purchased our bus from a church in Hammond. We have had pretty good luck with the engine so far. We make sure to crank it up often so the bus doesn't sit up. Flat tires suck, when one goes down we put the bus on blocks and go and get a re-tread (about 125$, new tire cost $500 roughly). We do baby the bus, no road trips etc... at 1-2 mpg why would you.

TNT,i'm sure you've seen TUB. The unsupervised bus

---

We have seen T.U.B. We actually ran across their website before we purchased our bus (left to die at a flea market parking lot in Hammond, paid $500 for the bus, lol) They did a very good job and gave us a number of ideas.

Looks like some good times will be had in that baby. The best I ever saw was at Georgia Tech. It was an old converted school bus just like yours, but a big chunk of the passenger-side wall (10'-12') folded down to just above ground level making a deck/wide entrance. They installed an awning over that.

Whenever we were building the TNT bus we actually came across that one on the web. It is an excellent bus, I believe it had wood floors as well. We were wanting to do a deck on top of this bus but at the time (4 19 year old college students) funding became an issue post Katrina, material cost etc... We did have the LSU theme to work with though, which is a big plus in terms of status and colors.

A new TV on the interior hopefully will be taken care of before App St. These pictures were taken before bringing out to the first game (LSU vs. Tenn 2005, Les first game) we have made changes/repairs since ie. new countertop, completed bathroom (installed LCD TV in bathroom)etc..

Everything out of Saint's camp indicates a very productive season on his end. If training camp goes well he has as good a chance as anyone to be the number 2.
