BusBuilding

Every few days one can find at least one salsa band practicing for their next gig. The first time I heard them I couldn’t believe the resourcefulness of these guys. Who woulda thunk that a storage facility would be a useful place to practice?

At times there are four bands spread through the facility and most of them actually aren’t bad!

Recently one of them added two trumpets and a female vocalist. As a former trumpet player, I was tempted to join in, but don’t got the chops no mo.

The messiest job.
A quick ‘n dirty posting of some before and after photos for someone who needed to know immediately.

My experience on BNO trying to get out the toilet tank

Evangelina struts her stuff in Las Colinas after getting dressed up with a new vinyl ’swoop’!

After looking at more than a dozen coaches and not finding what I wanted, this one appeared one day. The moment I walked inside I knew this was the candidate. She was clean, smelled fresh and had practically no rust anywhere. A fresh 8V71 Reliabilt Detroit Diesel Engine and decent tires.

Just back from charter service and ready for a few million miles as a bus conversion motorhome!

Evangelina is a 1982 MCI MC9, which up until very recently was the all-time most popular coach on the planet. Forty feet long with more than 15 tons of Stainless Steel, Aluminum and Big Iron.

Before she was mine, I spent several weekends at the Dallas branch of MCI (Motor Coach Industries) getting to know her. To become the owner of such a beast of a BUS was a mighty daunting decision, believe me!
