WWII Willy's Jeep Born into a Jeepney Bus

[Doom!]

That bus must be from Hawaii, I recognize "The Bus"

With the roof
A bit tricky bending this pvc
but heat gun glue and patience of sanding
We got it done

Now the jepeneys they carry cargo on top the roof too
Sometimes people ride on top of them
I have experienced it once in my younger days
More like a roller coaster with a metal bar as chairs

I'm kind of changing my mind again
To this type of bus
Streched bus
My problem is that the power of this bus is from the back it pushes the front
And what do i use between this thing
Cloth? Looks like an accordion

 

[CertifiedMike]

I've never seen an r/c build of a folding bus!
I think @Doom! plays the accordian!
Or maybe he drives an Accord...

 

[ARRMAgeddon]

At this point in time
When i realized that place for the battery lol
Two things i can do now
1 slide the battery between the two bench
Or since the body is wider than the battery tray
Ill just cut the floor for the battery

 

[Doom!]

This build blows me away with every single update.

This build blows me away eith every single update.

I'm half expecting to see a full neon light show with working mini flat screens and a working hot tub in this thing!
Fun build to watch!

 

[TeknoJ]

That looks rad, very good work!

Pleated fabric. You can make your own out of stiff fabric with an iron and lots of starch. Might be fun trying to wrap it into that shape though. You're very creative, so I am sure you will come up with a solution.

Hahahah I'm trying get the old looks of this jeepneys
If you have seen those 60s jeepneys
They have horses dolls on top the hood
I think i can easily find those horses later on

I have watched all the Top Gear and The Grand Tour rpisodes, as well as a number of exploration shows where they were in the Phillipines. I have seen a lot of really decorated Jeepney vehicles. That looks kind of tame compared to some I have seen

You have just given me an idea

What if ill cut strips of plastic glue it to that fabric
From the inside of the bus
The fabric will act as a hinges
Sandwich the fabric on a plastic
I dont know
