- Sorry to busy working today To shoot a lot of video. Thanks Richard for the free fuel from his commercial filling network station. Sage has to be back at work Monday so we will pick up in a couple weeks where we left off. It’s very close to done. Happy to be back home in Indiana tonight.

Being a split window Vw bus pilot that longs for the open road , watching the scenic miles thru Lenny’s split front glass and your lovely wife’s feet up on the dash, you make us feel like we’re right there with you .
Mine felt like I was piloting a zeppelin. On windy days leaning forward with both hands at 12 o'clock on the wheel, arms straight was the automatic sidewind compensator. Wind blows car out from under you, bodyweight and straight arms pivoting from the waist turned into the wind automatically.
Right? Thanks for the video 😊
Kind of hard on my eyes right now because watching the highway through the windshield and the wife leaning back relaxing in the copilot's seat brought back some of the fondest memories I've ever had in my life. We used to do that in an old Allegro motor home we fixed up and drove a lot. Sadly, today, twenty years ago, she went home to be with the Lord and my world hasn't been much fun since. You really don't know until things change like that just what really living is all about. Scott and his wife have found that magic button that makes moments like this irreplaceable.
Richard ; sorry for your loss and prayers for you
"Whispering isn't making the bus any quieter" love it.
I tried to be quiet ;) She is so funny... when we were driving by homes she says “Sorry sleeping people, my jack ass husband made it loud like this, i had nothing to do with it”.
@@BusGreaseMonkey love it buddy!! Hang in there both of ya. Lenny is gonna whisper again soon Kellie
@@BusGreaseMonkey I had to idle my motorcycle in and out of the subdivision so I feel your pain. LOL
Guess I'm lucky. I don't live in a subdivision or a city limit.
My Tesla is silent. I can haul ass and no one knows. Big change from my old straight-piped diesels ... Mercedes 300 SDL, several VW TDIs and a 6.0 PowerStroke. The Mercedes and the 6.0 sounded the best.
It's always fun watching Scott and Tyler working and playing off each other. But let's face it, the team just isn't complete without Kelly. Glad y'all made it back home safe. Peace, y'all.
They seem like nice folks at that Diesel station!
@@bobl78 There is a 81 GMC FISHBOWL on auction for $500.00 in Lafayette, IN on Public Surplus dot com, the high bid appears to be a salvage yard. Please, someone bid on this and spread the word. The auction ends October 21st, 2019.
Had it been a suburban version, I would have bid on it myself.
Great fan at the fuel station and good to see nice people follow your videos and keep history rolling 😎😊
What a fulfilling week of work. Well done! Was great to meet Sage.
Scott, you are amazing, the work you do out in the open with just basic hand tools. It's nice the way bus people come together to help one another, I have a 1978 Bluebird Wanderlodge, and the help I get with it from people I've never met is really something else. Hope I can meet you someday.
This series of videos was truly enjoyable. Looking forward to your next project. Rest well
I really enjoy seeing your work bringing these old buses back to life
Enjoyed traveling along with you on that Silversides adventure. You accomplished an amazing amount of stuff on that trip while in the field, in cool weather too. Watching your videos, it's clear you love what you do (and are good at it) and have a great family support system. Keep em coming !
That’s a really nice man at the fuel station. Incredibly kind of him to donate fuel. He appears to be a huge fan of your channel.
he must be, donating such a huge amount of Diesel..
Did he know HOW BIG your tanks were when he made that offer?!
Hope he still slipped him a 50 or so for the tip.
He said the guy would trade a fill up for some pr on the station, I must have missed the pr part!
Really like the guy who gave you the fill up. Reminded me a lot of my late grandfather. Used to chew Juicy Fruit gum and wear rawhide gloves when doing anything on a vehicle.
Is the diesel pump as cold as a propane handle?
Back home for a well earned rest ? What a generous gesture filling Lenny up for the return journey, good on ya Richard. That engine mount really looks good now, the icing on the cake so to speak, though brakes tyres (sorry UK spelling LOL) and all the other work equally vital.
Since I'm old and don't travel any more, I really enjoy the road trip videos! May your fuel friend do super well - he sure filled Lenny up! WillyB
I liked it when scott put his foot down passing that big concreate wall on the highway so he could hear lenny roar for one last time before he fits the new muffler
Hi Scott and Kelly, this has been a hell of a trip you've taken us on ,many thanks for allowing us to look over your shoulder and watch the fun, you sure had some tough days work there. It must feel good to be home for a while.Lenny sounds terifick on the highway,never missed a beat, looking forward to your next adventure,Best wishes to all ,Stuart uk
Before you put the new muffler on Lennie, please make a couple of drive-by videos from outside the bus. Would love to hear it run through the gears from a couple hundred yards away.
Cool fan, looks like it will make it go 10 mph faster. Lenny seems louder, maybe there isn't any more glass left in your glass pack.
The people in the GoBus are getting an ear full. The driver on the PA telling the passengers . "And out the right windows, that's what a two stroke diesel sounds like", passengers say "What" ?
Either that or he was responding to the passengers who yelling at him to slow down or speed up.
I'm the old guy on his front lawn shaking his fist at these young whipper snappers wakein the dead with their glass packs 😂
@@timbuck2505 I have a pack of young guys renting the house across the street, and they all have VW Jetta's with noisy exhaust, varroom varooming on the rev limiter all the time.
But I was young, and had hedders, and glass packs, on everything I owned, so they aren't hurting anything.
@@rudedog302 Best way to deal with that is record them and play it back to them during their quiet time over loud speakers full blast directed at their house. When they come outside to investigate, turn it off. Maybe they'll get the message and learn a little respect for other people in their neighborhood.
Thank you again Scott for an exhausting week. I took some video of the bus this morning. We got done as much as we could. I will post some follow up on my website. With Scott and Tyler's help I look forward to getting it drivable soon.
the bus community is awesome. Thanks to Richard for the free fuel from his commercial filling network station.
Lenny sounds great, you can hear and feel the shift changes are smooth🔧🔨🐒🏁.⛽ Hello from NYC🗽 GOD BLESS YOU ALL😇👌🎥
Sure do love the sound of the 6-71 Detroit.
Glad you made it home. I used to have the contract for Gobus out of Athens Oh before retiring. If they are still the same we governed them out at 68 mph.
Gps speed they passed me going faster than that. ;)
Must have opened them up a bit. We set that when we had 60 series for optimal fuel mileage. But they all have Cummins in them now. Whole different story.
@@DontCryAboutIt - Putting a truck in neutral going down a grade (slope) is one of the most idiotic and dangerous (not to mention illegal) things a person can do. Engage your brain before driving.
@@macster43yt I used drive a 1998 MCI 102EL3 with a Series 60 and could squeeze 7-8 mpg at 70 mph. The M11 in the Van Hooles I could do a little bit better.
What a great trip that was - full of interest and every episode was worth waiting for. Bet it’s good to be home for a rest!
No matter where you live in the country, it always feels better when you get home.
I think somebody really wanted to see home .
Nothing like looking at the world passing by through a windshield...but my "office" "bends in the middle" and has 12 more wheels&tires. Good that your vocation allows for your family to join in on the journey.....hope the "emergency patching" on I-74 north of Brookville was done.
I bet that finger was a little sore this morning. lol Safe travels to you and your's.
Lenny sounds so cool running thru the gears.
definitely and Scott's down shifts too
76 gallons? I thought lenny would hold more. Really cool guy fueling you, bet he could really tell some fantastic stories!
Well he wasn’t empty
Beautiful job
Congratulations
I am AMAZED at the work you guys have done ! Even more amazed that you could get parts like the bearings and custom fab done so QUICKLY !! Can wait for the next series !
Very nice old bus rewark in good condition drive to road very antique bus
This has been an epic. Well done!
I'm not a mechanic but I've had so much fun watching these videos. Thanks for all the enjoyment! If I ever come into some money I'd love to own a 1941 GMC bus tiny house conversion. You guys have definitely got me hooked!
And the neighbors are saying..."he's back"...lol.
G'day Kevin from Australia.
Coming into your home you should have given Lenny at least one rev. Just for shits and giggles. ✌
It's all shits and giggles all right till that one arrogant SOB calls the HOA President and cops on ya and then Lenny gets banned from coming into Scott's neighborhood for good, and yes, they can easily make that happen with one phone call if they want to be an ass about it all unfortunately so shits and giggles are never worth it!!!
@@1982MCI tho its possible the day you move from there! lol
@Sherloid Bai ... you're new to the channel, aren't you. You've obviously missed all of that static from several months back where the HOA DID try to ban him, but due to their own poorly-worded guidelines, they can't do it.
@@stanpatterson5033 would it be ok to give it to Lenny when he's moving. ✌
@@1982MCI chill out man.✌
Found your fuel stop just north of Caldwell. I am a map and satellite nut, but my first love is the Detroit 6-71. I drove a fire engine with one, which hardly anyone else could handle. I admit they are under-powered by today's standards, but the ROAR at 2500 RPM was sweeter than the big Q siren.
Beautiful drive home! I was hoping to see your puppies and their reaction.
Like a couple of teenagers trying to sneak back in the drive when she was supposed to be home an hour ago.
lol
I love you guys. It's obvious you enjoy one another as you travel from destination to destination keeping alive such a wonderful part of our commercial travel heritage in these wonderful pieces of history. It would be an honor to meet you some day. None the less, your channel is my new favorite!!!!
It might be a bit loud but it let us hear all that was going on when you pulled away and went along the road after you turned teft at 11 mins and 16 secs.
Lovely. Stuff just does not sound as good as that anymore.
Thanks for a great channel.
It's a blessing to have a fine lady tell you she loves you. You're a lucky boy.
And
Nice shoe laces you have.
A couple million years from now archaeologists will dig and come upon an outline of rust and white Al powder in a rectangular outline and that badass front engine mount/bulkhead reinforcement sticking up intact.
Sweet . Been watching your videoes for a while. I didn’t know you guys are from Indiana. I live in Central Indiana but 30 miles south of Indy.I’ve had my eye on a 671 power unit has been sitting behind the barn of my old boss for a long time. One of these days I’ll talk him out of it.
I love how lenny sounds now. Perfect
I used to drive a 2012 Thomasbuilt with a Cummins ISL-G and the Allison B500. Fuel economy averaged between 10-11mpg with a passenger load or not. My Freightliner diesel bus had comparable fuel economy, but it was worse when I was using air conditioning. And its good to see that Lenny has some attitude. My CNG bus was as quiet as a church mouse. Always hated that.
Scott, I have to say, you and your wife really have something special. Not many married couples could do what you guys do. I'm celebrating 7 years of marriage come next month; How long have you two been married? :)
26 great years
It’s always good to be home, that was a long haul. I enjoyed the whole trip, would have liked to see the 41 go for a little run, maybe lance could do a little shot and send to you when he goes for a test run. Thanks again for the real world mechanics, some channels it all goes so smooth it’s unbelievable.I guess they plan better than others? Yeah right. I know your pups were happy to see y’all!
Woah, I'm 34 I remember what he's talking about with the tanks. A lot of stations closed here around that time!
Good to be hoooooooooooome , and safe. Take care..................
"Be wery quiet scott is hunting wabbits" its okay i understand my little s10 has a custom exhaust and i love going thru parking garages and down streets setting off car alarms lol yes at 54 I'm still an infant
Me to !
if its to damn loud, your to damn old ! that's what my father says at 72
Thanks for the American road trip!
The bus runs so very well, really surprised how fast she goes, very well done folks, look forward to next episode!
Scott your friendly personality together with your wife says it all, thank for the videos, time for R & R!
That’s so cool you being so close to where I live. You should have stopped at MarryAnns and had supper
Your wife is nice to say that about Lenny. We call our coach ‘home’ but we have our home base bottom line. Just back from a 1000 mile trip.
The entrance to your development doesn't seem very "Greyhound Bus Friendly". You should bring that up at the next HOA meeting:)
great job on those engine mounts!
Super nice of him to do that, I know it was only 76 gal., I don't know the price, but how nice, now in california, diesels about 5$ a gal., about $400, that would of hurt.
I wouldn’t need a speedometer after about 100 miles of listening to that beautiful engine.
Me encanta ese autobús silver el ruido de su motor y como planea es una chulada de autobús
Amazed at how tight the steering seems to be with so little play in the wheel while driving fast down the highway.
neat cloud formation at 20:05
I love your fuel sign on the black water tank door, that cracks me up everytime.
Hey Scott how’s a guy go about getting ahold of you? There’s a shop down here in Evansville that’s looking for someone to come in and install a engine and reassemble a silver sides like your’s it’s in a nice indoor heated shop so maybe a good winter project for you
Oh hell no!! Scott doesnt work under such wretched conditions such as a heated shop with concrete floors and decent lighting. Hell, sounds like you got Scott mixed up with a union mechanic somewhere, lol
Wow, bus sounds great! Nice seeing the wife along videoing, makes more enjoyable viewing!
A person like you is precious by his knowledge, his voluntarism and also his rarity. You should...no! You have to take more precautions in your work in terms of security.
For example, put on gloves so that your skin of your hands is not always in contact with grease, diesel oil and other harmful products. Put on safety shoes, feet are better when you can walk on them! One thing that also worries me is the different components for the brakes; especially the "jaws", in France in those years, they contained asbestos...it's better not to breathe the dust....
In any case, your videos are very pleasant and very instructive and I thank you for that.
What a trip! Great series of videos. It is fun watching you work.
Enjoyed this video.
Mighty nice to get the free fuel. Now that's what you call appreciation for the great work that you do on RUclips. ;-)
I know your driving a bus but that engine sounds so increadable and smooth.
I enjoy your work . .
Scott you must live in a HOA Subdivision ? otherwise you would care less how loud Lenny was.. I vote to add a switch and a actuter só Lenny can be loud and proud and then super quiet if need be.
I vote that Scott just add a proper goddam muffler. (and my vote is the only one that counts. )
*wouldn’t care less
Never thought I would see a Tokheim gas station pump again.
Joseph Heston that was certainly a blast from the past. Since I didn’t hear the pump motor in the bottom cabinet running it must have been converted to in-ground tank electric pump. I miss the sound of the pump in the gas pump.
Tokheim gas pump 😀from Norway, odda, city,
I like a loud exhaust on my hotrods ... but really appreciate a quieter exhaust on my highway cruisers. Your eardrums (and especially your wife) will thank you for a quieter ride on the highway. I have found that I enjoy a lot more power better than a lot more noise. You're gonna love quiet turbo power ..... :)
Home sweet home. Congratulation on another safe trip!
that fan looks like x-mes tree ornament
When you were dismantling that silversides it looked like a structural wreck with fixes on top of fixes. The new parts were beautifully fabbed up restoring good-as-new integrity. Tremendous difference between start and finish! That old girl should be on the road for many more years.
It’s funny how many people wanted us to scrap it. A couple of days work and it was as good as new
I don't know anything, but that gas thing mixed into the exhaust.
Seems to make your bus fast, it in think works like a turbo with no moving parts guessing.
Good thing , you had the wife keep your speed down.😇
I though you where going to work a little and enjoy the view. Looks like a full time job 😆😆😆
Engine mount looks great
It nice to have a son to do the things you do and great you at a long journey home great fixing on all the buses great help from fellow helpers along the way take a rest if you can lol 😁
While I will admit I appreciate the "road time", as one who has been on many of those trails too. I really want that gritty engine time! Oh, 75mph is fast for a old rv, or bus. They don't like it much for MPG. I like the hiway miles, but prefer the gears & grit! Guess the hiway miles are better to those who haven't seen it themselves. A time in my life I'll never forget! Nothing like the comfy bed of home!
17:35 Another surprising thing is that “Detroit Diesel” is called that way, because Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel himself was more of a 4-stroke fan. :-) His first engine was a 4-stroke.
Keep it up love the video,s and LOVE THE OLD BUSSES
There is still one question that Scott has not answered, and I think we all deserve to know: "Scott, please tell us WHY did you hammer your finger?" (There is a reason for everything, and I cannot figure that one out.)
Because it was there and he could
Terms are synonymous Back in 80s, I was a vol fireman in a town that had no diesel gas stations . We had a fuel oil company and They came to fill our diesel trucks with same home heating oil.
Good job one that one. Like seeing the help you get on these
Given the amount of trouble i have seen you have getting the lug nuts on an off some of these buses over a series of your videos, why don't you use some sort of anti seize compound on the nuts an studs or on most things like booster backet bolts etc im sure u know what i mean i understand that it would possibly be a extra cost to you but if these guys are repeat customers it would save you both time an money great work by the way👍
The only ones I’ve ever had problems with hadn’t been off in 30-40 years??
Lenny sounds so cool now running thru the gears..
@@BusGreaseMonkey And therefore what about the guy taking them off 30 or 40 years from now ?
A robot will be doing the work for him
I learned the hard way that never seize on wheel studs will make them to snap due to reduced torque causing the stud's tensile strength being exceeded. There is such a thing as too tight.
23:04pm pulling into the neighborhood with Lenny..... time for ludicrous rpm speed in first gear! LMAO!
Sorry Scott, I can't hear you over the roar. But keep up the good work. I LOVED the fact that because of you another Silversides is back on the road, or will be soon..
Hey you should put up a link too the fab shop . I'm sure there's folks out there who need parts made.
What role does Mrs. BGM play while you are working, I mean "playing fixit" with the buses? I"d like to see you do a vidya "An ode to Mrs. BGM" because you're obviously a team and she's your first mate on these fixin cruises. Great entertainment, better than TV.
She does everything and anything. She helps turn wrenches, cleans and picks up tools, manages the yt channel, cooks amazing meals, and checks under my hood for a complete servicing ;)
@@BusGreaseMonkey and dont forget she does almost all the filming to make all these videos possible
If you had mentioned anything about her checking your oil, I may have been forced to unsubscribe and then drink antifreeze. Everyone has their limits.
@@BusGreaseMonkey Hey, does she have a sister, likes balding red headed Canadian guys? haha. Great channel, saying "Hi" also to Mrs. BGM. Would not be as great a channel without her. Make a T-shirt "2500 rpms" with a big tachometer on it. Something to do with Lenny's engine.
I bet if that turbo was on there you would have definitely given that other bus a run for it's money !
Would have loved to see that project completed and on the road
Stay tuned
Great job , can’t wait for the next video
What a nice guy
I think Lenny needs a megaphone lol. Really let him bark. Just as a matter of interest, what sort of a top speed do they have if you would him right up? We had some V8 Detroit powered buses here in NZ that were rumoured to be good for almost 100mph!!!
I remember back in the 50s and early 60s I would be going down the interstate doing 65 to 70 and a Greyhound bus would pass me as if I was sitting still.
