Some of you know that I’ve been working on a couple of party buses for a guy. Well he just bought his 3rd bus and we were looking at it last night. It looks nice but, other then the upholstery work on the seats, it’s nothing more then panels wrapped in vinyl, lights and tinted plexglas. Time consuming…yes but not difficult. The hardest part when working on buses like this is being able to make it look nice but engineering it to stand up to abuse and maintain a safe environment. The owner of the company asked me last night how much it would cost to reproduce the bus you see in the pictures and I told him 10k in labor or about 7k not counting the seats (I can’t sew). Do you think 7k in labor is to high? I know it’s hard to see everything in the picture but remember, this would be a complete ground up conversion from what a normal bus looks like including deconstruction.
