If you guys ever wanted to help support the channel, PLEASE take a moment to share this video!!! It REALLY helps out and I really appreciate it :)
With that being said, THANK YOU! This build wouldn't of been possible without every single one of you.
But what about the water system thingy?
Good video luv the bus. But at 10min 10sec, it says January 31st 2018, now im pretty sure its 2019.
@@owensymens lol
Gingium Dude I love seeing your titles now standing out, you get way more views and who cares if it’s a bit flashy title. It’s a really good way to get different viewers
@@Ryan-mg7pd "bit of a flashy title" is a really ass-kissy way of saying "typical RUclips vlogger clickbait"
Who didn’t have a dream about this as a kid?
Me
Haha Lol everyone who hates camping...
Haha Lol being a dropout? Oh yes of course.
Haha Lol I would only stay in there for like a week
I’m 15 and still have a dream of this
as a retired union electrician who also went to college;you have some serious skills there that I rarely see in most college grads I deal with.Great conversion.
school doesn't make a success, skills it is
james ellis read the title of the video
Slendertale he’s comparing him to a college grad not calling him one
Ashton Dawson thank you kind sir, I misread his comment.
You do know that there are MASTER Craftsmen that didn't go to college, right?!!? Some not even to high school!!!
Imagine all the gum he had to peel for this!
😂😂😂😂😭😭
Seen you comment on another camper van conversation vid
@@NickyTheLesser nobody asked for yor sad ass to enter the comments
*your
OG HƱD ok, and? Lol
I’m always astounded at how few people bother with staining their wood. This looks amazing! Well done.
It has been 2 years already since you bought the bus?! Man time goes fast...
@@Stackali Oh XD
Lol. I was thinking the same thing. It honestly only felt like a month a go that he was spray painting the hubcaps on his focus outside the apartment building. How time flies
Joe Stacks
Then why does it say “2 years ago”?
420 likes. Hell yea.
Can you imagine having a full length school bus and using the back part as a mobile garage for a motorcycle or mountain bikes or even a go cart
Terrorbyte mk2
@@tudormese at that point though you might as well add the homing missile launcher
Back door of the bus would turn into the ramp and the a fucking motorcycle with missles just blows up the fuckin city random thoughts have a grrat3day
They have those, they are called 'toy haulers'. You can get trailers and RVs with this sort of thing.
@@Tasarran I imagine there fairly expensive
Me: buys bus
Also me: I’m ready * hot glue gun in hand”
I thought it was gonna say. Bus sits there
*reads unoriginal meme comment
Me: ew
Ean Hill I think I saw it on tik Tok but yes it is unoriginal and so what it was funny to me so why not share it
Ean Hill chill
@@laurenrangel6612 i mean it was still funny so theres no reason to not repeat it imo
This video is very watchable. Nice music, no funky dancing, just really good images about how you did your build. Awesome!
it looks amazing! but the black paint will make you burn alive in youre bus when the sun is on your roof... still a amazing job!
also, black paint is like an invite to taggers if you try to urban camp
@@user-pg7uj4bp4q what are taggers?
Lake of Crystalclan people who paint trains and stuff with grafitti
Dr. Dangus adds character
How when he added insulation to the vehicle?
What does this have to do with being a college drop out?
It's for views
If he wasn't a college dropout he probably wouldn't be living in a bus
Struggle from zero prospects and status I suppose, but more likely to push the idea that those who drop out aren't useless
Example the comment above
@@ryomashouta5046 ouch
I am surprised how talented you are to be able to this by yourself. You did a great job and the results are amazing. The paint you chose is very nice and stealthy. Great job, thanks for sharing.
Nicely done! Loved watching the conversion process - thank you - and good luck out there!
Can u switch the music for the next one so my wife won't think I'm watching softcore porn......
Murray Family once you hear it you can’t un-hear it 😂😂
😂
LOL..
This burn was scalding 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
God bless you and your editing skills. I got the feel for what it takes to convert a bus in 10 minutes, while other channels can't keep a video of restoring a rudimentary lathe under 38 minutes.
@Albert Twangle Thank you.
when i was growing up my dad fixed up 3 diff old school busses into campers and we spent almost every weekend on the river or at the lake if it wasn't too cold,i was thinking about finding an old short bus to build,it won't be as nice as this but it will work for me
Didn't show enough of the finished inside. Looks very nice. Wanted to see more and the flow.
Great that the owner uses safety precaution and proper gear.
Nice job but I would have used two by twos save 50% of framing weight, as it was not needed structurally.
It all started with a girl and her pet snake Alfredo...
The one that's scared of little bugs?
Wajai yep 👍
CowBoy BeBop omg yessssss that was in my recommended last week idk why but I watched it now I can’t stop watching these videos 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Ahh i love her
i mean van life, bus,rv and tiny living has been around for sometime and the community is pretty huge
1:12-1:18😂! So glad you left that in the video!
Beautiful Bus Build!
That part with the saw horses 😂🤣😂 then the light 😂🤣😂 So Good!!
Amazing project and awesome job!!
Lesson to take from this?
Do NOT build a bus. It will make you go bald.
But great work, you've come a long way.
He became Saitama. 😂
David Carreira Cante-me uma canção!
true，but still better than those camper conversion companies who always try to charge you the cost of a house
@@davidli6899 yea it tru but i seen a story where a guy took yr 2 build a Tiny house it cost 20,000 he recycle material ect.
That college drop out part of the title is very necessary
Honey painting it black WAS A TERRIBLE DECISION , not only because it attracts the heat but because it arises suspicion like you are hiding something sinister in your black bus
THANK YOU!!!! Finally an build I can actually follow along amd understand how it was done.
I loved everything you did ...design, color, choices floor plan, its all great.
I don't even remember you with hair 😮
Was thinking the exact same thing
America's Firstborn he used to be ginger, don’t know why I know that
@@ihateracin possibly bcos that's what he named the channel after? His hair colour?
right? i saw that first bit from the very beginning of the build and was like "oh shit, ging had hair"
Maik V Was sham, you ain’t a og fan then
Fulltime nomad here..absolutely awesome. GREAT GREAT CONVERSION..KUDOS
Great conversion, love the mishap at 1:15 , it happens to us all. Glad you put it in the video, vey funny
Currently saving for a bus. When the time comes I will be using this as a reference to insulate and frame the inside. Well done man! See you on the road one day. 🤘🏻🤙🏻
Grommets! Please put grommets on the wires running through the frame.
Or spray foam insulation, or ducking gel on the screw would have insulated the seal as the screws went in
With quality van build skills like these guys have who needs college ! You guys could make a FORTUNE building vans for people as a profession. Super job guys. 🚐💨
Best I've seen; too cool for the people and brilliant craftmanship!
But where are the final results? I need closure lol 😆
I know. Im not mechanically wired type of brain. I wish I was... I'm too impatient. I only wanted to see the final product :/
I only watch for the ending so I can see what it looks like after he's done and they don't show it
ruclips.net/video/e9sBNRSgK1Y/видео.html
I've been in construction for 20+ years. I can build damn near anything with wood. But you guys have vision (hard to come by) in what you wanted and executed it to perfection. 👍👍
Damn, i was hoping to see the finish work at the end of the video.
Great job shout out to the man doing all the work . Dude is a BEAST!!
When the stands, wood, and light fell over lmao
Rx7 in background makes me sad
agreed :(
Seriously he gets rid of all the cars I like stacy and Regan were my two favorite of his cars so far and he sold them both :(
What time stamp
Ikr
:/
Awesome build man! Good luck:) hope to see you out there one day
LOVE IT! ROFL when your workhorse fell then the lamp...loved your funny moments!
1:17 LOL The equipment said they were done for the night
How in the world were those bus seats in the beginning so nice when my bus's seat r all torn up with holes...
well u can tell they have money. they bought a newer short bus to make this with to avoid rust issues and motor issues.
@@CidZombie going by the front end, it's a 1993-07 Ford E450 cutaway chassis with the school bus package. The dashboard is a 97+. They gave slight update to the front end in 2004. This is a 2004-07. It might not have been expensive. Old buses are kind of a special market. They're usually really cheap. Ranging from $1000-$3000. Large coach buses are usually $10000+.
Great vision and outstanding electrical skills. Good build.
What a beauty, congratulations, you did an amazing job!
Omg imagine living in a bus and going to school
New definition of homeschool
sounds good
🤢
your brain huh hahahaha
I was actually planning to do that,cause my school is like five minutes away from a camping
Love seeing the whole process. Thank you so much for going through the added hassle of filming so much detail. It helps us see what we’re in store for.
I dropped out of school when I was 8. I have learned more from my dad and life then I did in public school.
(I’m homeschooled nerd, not that dumb.)
Public school sucks.
There just something about watching Conversions its so satisfying
I love it when I see a carpenter build things nice and sturdy that will last for a long time the installation process looks 100% excellent good job
This video was already amazing but the "College Dropout" part in the title made it 10x better
Why?
@@harrynut3044 societal norm is that without a college degree you can't do much. It's really BS though
@@MaxSpeedMike Thanks for the reply. Yea, i've heard the "mental Program" as well being pushed upon the Herd, but have yet to hear the Pushers of this theory provide a solution for the unskilled laborer. I know if i never went to college, instead of making over 30 bucks an hour, i would be most likely making minimum wage. Ever notice how the people making that claim are ALWAYS wealthy? LOL, should be a clue. They want everyone dumb down and dependent on the System. What better way then convince the sheeple there is no need for an education.
@@harrynut3044 nobody is advocating unskilled labor. People are advocating SKILLED labor positions; auto mechanics, machinists, electricians, etc. Not only are the instrumental in making the world go round, but they earn a shitton of money doing it. And they are in short supply. The point isn't that you don't need ANY higher education to get a good job, it's that you don't need a COLLEGE education to get a good job. Apprentice for 5 years; earn certificates. These paths are no less viable for a prosperous life.
@@harrynut3044 you're right man. Glad you get it, most don't. To be successful, you get out there and do what you need to do. A piece of paper doesn't provide you skill nor experience. College is the biggest sham /business
You guys did an awesome job redoing
the inside of that Schoolie you got there.
I really Like the Idea of this Bus, Lot better than just a Van. More Room for the Space. Thank you. Y'all did a GReat JOB!!!
My dude, these are some mad chill beats. Proper build video mate, cheers.
Any outsider will freak out as to why one clip you had a full head of hair and the next you were bald haha
And in the end he has hair again (the plastidipping clip)
Lol right new ones only know baldium
Tiltle should have been "Cancer patient makes schoolie for his last wish." for clickbait
I wouldn't say full head lol
I didn't freak at all.
I am always in AWE when in the presence of such great craftsmen.
When I saw fridge🤦🏻♀️ sick, man! Keep up the good work
Primo work! 👍 Most school bus projects look half assed and horrible. Thanks for exceeding my expectations many fold. Had a guy drive through our town a few years ago in an old school bus with the top half of an old VW van mounted on top sort of like the observation deck on an old passenger train car. I thought it was an interesting consept, but his looked like the result of a wreck!
I burn grilled cheese.
This is beyond my skill comfort zone.
All you hafta do is make measurements, cut them out w/ mini saw things, use special adhesives & nails. And wah lah. Yw 🤗. :/ I might be able to build sh... Idk so much about wiring sh
Truly inspiring, y'all are awesome 💯
Great vid, very informative. This would be such a great alternative to van camping/living. seems like twice the usable (head and floor) space.
The bald guy is a pro right down to his exact measurements on the beams. Usually can’t find a master builder that knows electric and plumbing too. Great build excellent!
But the electrical wiring should be in conduit for safety reasons.
@@firedup692
This literally was why my friend sent me the link. Next to nothing can be accessed easily. Everything is screwed/bolted, assumably, behind panels without easy access. Will it pass the grade? Yes. Is it a master class?....
...
I will let that question answer itself.
@@fearanarchy more importantly, is it in compliance to code ? Electrical wiring should be in conduit, or if easy access required, in trunking with removable cover.
@@firedup692 You gotta be from California, right? (kidding)
Stop making yourself feel bad by saying a college dropout, call yourself a person who had a better vision than the rest of the students
gotta get dem views
Yeah but your version is too long for a title lmao he's going through rough times on RUclips, he deserves to make a catchy title to get views and potentially new subs
No but for real, he needs to see himself like this, he definitely won by taking the decision he took.
He doesn't feel bad lol if anything he feels like he succeeded
"better vision"
That's debatable lol
Good point. I am in college and almost envy gingium because he found his calling and i still don't know wtf I'm going to do with my life
Nice job! Enjoy your travels!
Great job! and really! nice music while enjoying your progress
I joined this channel around 2 years ago. I hope I never leave. Keep the great content and builds flowing!
Thank you
Also, have you considered using a jeep TJ (or other model) frame for the rally miata? If you go thru with the body on frame plan, those jeep frames will be hands down the easiest to get parts for
We all know what this is going to be used for. Bang Bus 2019 Summer Trip Tour!!!
Probably the coolest school bus I've ever seen... The video was excellent too, quick but detailed.
CONGRATULATIONS!
You did an amazing, awesome, wonderful fraking great job!
Respect!
Love it!
GOD bless you❣🙏
Glad I stumbled upon this!!! Been thinking about doing one for a while. Well done on the vid and the build most of all.
When you started by sealing up the floor (really well), I was thinking, “No! Conduit, plumbing!” After building my boat I have some suggestions:
I would suggest aluminum 2x4 replacements as much as possible, (wood adds lots of weight).
Less glue. That insulation will stay put with panels on. Thermo tape.
Look for products for this with RV, trucking, Marine websites. (4200 or 5200 to seal holes).
Very cool. I like the paint. Wind generator for when stopped? Between sun and wind we do pretty well on the boat. Nice work!
Yeah, The amount of 2x4 was the only thing I was shaking my head at. It's nearly a mobile lumber yard. But awesome project in general.
When you're new to building you have a tendency to over build. I'm guilty. Made some steps for my trailer once and used 2x6's 'coz I found some scrap for free and by the time I got thru, them steps were Stout and weren't going Anywhere! Took two strong dudes to lift them! I'm kinda wondering about his safe total weight vs what the bus weighs now with all the wood and other stuff.
THE ULTIMATE BRO..... taste in music and good with his hands.....yesssssss!!!
Solid! Thank you for sharing.
You may be a drop out, but from what I just saw was a brilliant young man probably pursuing the wrong degree.
I don’t know your story, so it’s just my opinion from what little I’ve seen. However, with your level of smarts, as a Counslor, I would’ve directed you to a technical college rather than a university if you prefer to work with your hands in creating something of value.
Have you ever considered courses for a journeyman? One can get a well paying job anywhere in our country. It also looked to be right up your alley.
You sure as heck don’t have to do it right now or tomorrow, enjoy your life for awhile. I’m just offering you some unsolicited advice is all. Do what feels right for you.
I wish you all the best in your travels.
Be well and stay smiling,
Ma’iingankwe
Brilliant. Love it. Maybe an internal/external walk through at some stage?
The fact that He single handedly worked hard for finishing the inside but when it was almost finished then his friends suddenly appear but they didn't even helped him
College dropout seems to know what he's doing. Great job keep up the great work.
You skipped the entire part of the first interior haha lol. The new interior is a thousand better tho. Love your videos!!! Keep it up
Yeah lol, it would've been WAY to long of a video if I showed both!
I guess it would've made the video too long but I think he should've mentionned it.
@@_Gingium_ Yeah that's what i thought as well
you should have turned the bus into a vScO sLeEpOvEr
Hhahahahhaahhahaah i ThInK aReA 51 iS bEtTeR
Mr. Frank 'forever 40' Garret 15 Mexicans can fit into an 07 civic
Looks like he landed in the right place! 💗 Can't wait to finish mine 😊
You guys did an amazing work there! thanks for sharing this video..
Your wife in 15 years: "I want this thing out of our god damn driveway!"
That will be his dog house...
Bold of you to assume he'll have a wife.
This is literally the coolest thing ever. I wanna do this one day lmaoo
A brush guard and light cages would look BA on that. Well done!
Best part of the whole video, when you made the cut on the OSB and the sawhorses collapse along with your video light. I actually laughed out loud because that’s the exact kind of crap that happens to me lol
This video not only shows us the build but the passion and character of this build and what it's used for I love this video
It’s so sick
Better backing music than most!
Oooh, nice van!
This is some serious school bus for big boy. I loved it. Great choice of background music.
I love how you let people hit the dislike to get back feed back❤️
Damn I still remember getting the notification for that video when you bought the bus
Love it,you viedos,very informative,fun to watch
That's dope bro, well done
Very nice although painting the roof white will help with the interior temperature
it feels like yesterday when you said “im going to geta tow rig”. ughhhh time goes too fast
Really cool! I would've raised up the roof and added a small loft space for the bed above a living space though
Awesome work dude! Love the look of your bus
Good to see you used the classic “border around edges and x in middle” glue strategy.
what was the budget for this entire job... lol I need a plan
Following!
Best conversion I’ve seen yet
wow the old shop, the fc, and gingium with hair this is so nostalgic
