    To me, this bus has the best exterior shape and paint job of all the buses you've serviced. But that's just my opinion.

    Like #563. WoW, that is probably one of the most smooth quiet running test drives ive seen on your channel. That transmission whine or whatever that "whine" is, following engine speed, takes me back to riding on the Hound back in the late 70's.

    Looks like artwork on that rock face out front. Such a smooth ride there was a lot long with that bus. That could have been a tragedy. Great job bus Grease Monkey and team. You sure have from changing a head out on the sidewalk LOL. What you're doing is really awesome and I'm glad to see the positive in your life.

    This is for Tyler.
    Use 1/2 steel. Cut in a U
    Match the bolt pattern on the buss wheels so it can be bolted to the hub.
    Now add two heavy low deck axles and the 16 heavy equipment trailer wheels. You will need one in front and one in rear.
    Like a shop wheel dolly.
    Make 2 of them. One left the other right.
    They will need to fit underneath or to the outside.
    I thought of a rale under the tire but possibly no room...
    This will allow it io be moved under tow or maneuver in tight quarters.
    This will need refinement..
    A second set can have a trailer tung and steering.
    Cool vid.
