Hey folks. I’m sure some of you have heard about our purple hippie bus, and we’re transforming it into a replica of The Partridge Family bus.

We just started today, and below is the back of it (which needs some touch up). Stay tuned for more photos… I’ll post them as the work progresses : )

BTW- After this is done, I'll be on the lookout for a 1968 Chevy van so we can convert it into the Scooby Doo "Mystery Machine". We'll set it up the same way with heat, air conditioning, electricity, and carpeting so it will be a comfortable place to chill and / or crash out in any time of the year!

Still, gypsea will be Stylin!!

Man, I think these will be the neatest additions yet!
If you ever decide to accept a monthly fee for renting the mystery machine as an effieciency dwelling, I'm your Shaggy!

Reality is he doesn't have ANY free time on his hands.

AGI is the primary culprit.

that and the life long heroin, PCP, crack, and cheese addiction.

Hey Tom, did I ever show you my shaggin wagon?
It's kinda like the mystery machine...
Someday it may get fixed when glass starts paying well again. Ahhhh, might just sit in my yard and rust.

Jeff- I remember that van. You had it here the year Willy brought out the Python... it was parked next to the Parramore building before it was a building (I'll dig up some pics of that).

Here's a new photo of the bus in progress:

I had one of those Dodge vans.
Between the metal motor cover and the fact that your almost sitting on the motor, I use to sweat my nut off in the summer in that thing.

Nice bus Tom or are you changing your name to Keith now?:D

The bus looks great Tom. Was that the show Danny Bonaduchey came from? Ahhh I feel stupid asking that. Even stupiDER for not remembering bringing the van to AGI. I'm gonna be drooling and pooping on myself in no time.

Good luck with the 1968 Chevy. It's like A mystery happened at the Chocolate factory and we are going to break out the tamborines and sing about the General Lee(?)...

It's finally completed, thanks to my friend Randy. Every day we have customers that have their pictures taken in front of it.... some of them think it's the actual bus from the series / sitcom!
