Removing Interior Side Panels in a School Bus Conversion // Skoolie

- It's important to remove the interior siding and take out the old fiberglass insulation because, in most cases, the fiberglass is wet and sometimes moldy. Plus, putting newer higher quality insulation will make a huge difference

Just use extra caution welding that galvanized steel. The fumes are very hazardous. Welding thin metal is a challenge if it's your first time. Get some practice in and the settings dialed in on the welder before doing the final patch work on the bus.
Definitely will practice some. I thought I read that because I'm using a Fluxcore wire, it should help with the hazards fumes....? Maybe I read that wrong? Thanks for watching!
@@BackroadPurpose i realize i'm several years late to the party but this is not at all true. metal fume fever is serious stuff. you should have good ventilation and always use a proper respirator or remove the coating prior to welding. i've never been unlucky enough to suffer any serious side effects from welding, but it can happen to *you*.
the difference between using flux core wire and a separate supply of an inert gas like 80/20 is the flux burns off and provides the shield gas for your welding pool.
Another great video! Picking up our first bus tonight, totally stoked and cant wait to get to this stage of the build. Well may just past this stage, seems pretty tedious.
It might be tedious but we're wanting this to be up to date as much as possible and from all the mold and wet fiberglass I found, in very glad that we did. I would be sick if we finished and the build and then had to re do it
@@BackroadPurpose I hear you. Well we just kind of brought our bus home tonight. Getting ready to post the video. Hope you guys check it out. Take care
@@TheMechnicalOwl we definitely will. Congratulations on the bus! It's super exciting
Congrats @TheMechanicalOwl! What kind of bus did you get? We just brought home a 1997 Thomas Saf-T-Liner, Flat Front, Rear Engine CAT 3126, Allison MD 3060. Got it from AAA Bus in Phoenix. Then took it on a 2,707 road trip, pre-converted to Canada!

@@BEAdventurePartners that's awesome! Way to break in your new bus!
My wife and I started our bus demo process last week! You should indeed always wear ear things 😂 by the way your channel is amazing so thank you!

Aw thank you so much! That means a lot and we really appreciate you guys wathcing!
We ran into the same thing pulling the side panels out today. After inspecting, it looks like the inner skin folds over the square tube frame. That's awesome you have an air chisel to use! That sure does beat putting a screwdriver on the heads of the screws & hitting it with a hammer after cutting them with the angle grinder!
Keep on producing cool vids, y'all!

Ah I feel you guys on that one. We got a cheap one from harbor freight. And have actually had to use a few more times throughout the demo as well. And thank you very much. I'll be posting more often. Starting to get a workflow down.
galvernised steel gives off noxious fumes when heated that can give you a realy bad headacke and can become lethal if you keep going through rhe headacke
For sure. We just cut it out and tossed it.
Love to hear hip hop in bus videos! ❤
Definitely.
My husband and I are very interested in doing a Skoolie, but we don’t have a garage or anywhere where we can demo and start it. What would be your advice on that? Also, where would we dump or discard the the parts that we demo?
😂😂🤣🤣 starting at 2:47
You forgot the bottom part
What bottom part.
No wonder I can’t freaking cut the metal sides out. My brother refuses to let me use a cutting wheel and gets pissy when I want to use a NON GRINDING wheel cause “I don’t trust you around a cutting wheel”. “Then help me please.” “No f**k u. Use a grinding wheel”. I’m gonna cry
Did y'all remove that lower panel that's parallel to the bottom of the wall underneath the panels you took off here? We've just taken out the panels and insulation, and aren't sure if we want to take that part off or not.
We did not. If you talking about the one beneath that rail that goes front to back, that's a structural wall, pretty important. You can stuff the insulation down in there if you wanted to as well.
@@BackroadPurpose yes, that one! Thanks my dude! Wasn't finding any info on that, grateful for the reply. Y'all are the best
Just curious as to why you took the fiberglass insulation out just to put in foam?
The roof had a few leaks (like most old school busses) and it caused mold. So I did not want to build this entire bus just to skip one step that could cause health issues. Plus the rigid foam has a higher insulation value over the fiberglass. So it was an upgrade.
Backroad Purpose thanks!
What was that tool called round 3:00
They're just drills and impact driver. We were removing screws.
You guys need to be wearing safety glasses or face shields when doing metal work or power tools.
We actually are wearing them pretty much 98% of the time. But we definitely should be 100% though. Thanks for watching!
