Soo after a long time of trying to convince my family to let me buy our 1940 Greyhound, it didn't work out. So I started looking around every place possible.
Finally came across something on Ebay. We happen to notice, due to the background of the pictures, that it's an old friend of my family’s back yard! We gave him a call and sure enough it was his. I hit the "buy it now" button and scored it last night! We should be bringing it home sometime after this weekend. Starting June I should be hittin’ the road long-term. It’s not diesel, soo looks like we’ll have to bust some ninja shit to get some gas money along the way. I’ll use this thread to post pictures of it as I’m modifying it.

Dude I'm totally down!! I was actually thinking of taking a few of the places off your list and adding them to my map when I start planning it out. When do you plan on starting your trip?

Umm not sure exactly, but I have a few ideas. I'm trying to do as much as I can with what little space I have. I'm sure by the middle of next week I'll have a pretty good idea with how I'm going to do everything.

Oh geez. So much potential! I'm pretty jealous actually. there is so much you can do with that and yet its small enough to still be nice and cozy on the road. Not like a huge bus would be. good investment!
