Hello, cool tribe just joined this week , funny bus story. I was at Burningman last 2 weeks ago and was strangely drawn to an artbus with fllame throwers on the roof. My Buddy Jason says , I know those guys , they are from Vegas and they are fire performers. Next thing I know im meeting the owner and He is complaining about how many times the old bitch "bus" broke down on the way up to Carson city last month to finish it for the burn. I replied I had on old AM General that cost me a fortune to fix. He replies this is an AM General 8v71 with an allison. Mine was too I replied, I had the dambdest time getting the tranny fixed back in 97 it cost me my business actually. He said , this tranny was all f'd up and He broke is arm pulling it to be rebuilt. I said wow, I built mine to be a mobile training studio. He said , wait are you Mike? yup i said, He runs in the bus comes back with a brochure from 97 with my bus on it. holy shit. it was my old bus all rocked out with a roof deck and an inside that was as nice as any hookha lounge ive seen. I spent the next 3 days chillin and partying on my old bus that had been born again as art. pretty surreal.

    I was amazed and delighted to find a camp with a '48 GMC 3751 just like mine!
    Without a full support team like they had I have been too chicken to bring mine to the playa. I'll post a couple pics in the album.
