Pimp My BUS!!!

Now that we own a bus - we've sort of reached that critical moment where it dawns on us that we're not exactly sure what we want to do with it.

We know that the inside needs to be gutted and redesigned and the outside needs a little body work and at least one coat of paint, if not a few... We DO know that we can't do this ourselves...we need help!

I've contacted the art department at ETSU to see if they had any students looking for a part time summer job. The chair of the department thinks its a GREAT idea and forwarded my request on - but I've yet to receive a response.

I even suggested using the bus as a class project and we would make a donation to the art department upon completion (plus, think of the publicity) - and while they think the idea is STUPENDOUS - no one has the time to take it on as a class...which is fair. It is kind of a big request - and really is extremely self serving of me.

I spent a good amount of yesterday online, trying to find the location of where you submit your application to appear on MTV's "Pimp My Ride" - but I guess they aren't filming another season or they've stopped accepting applications because I couldn't find anything on their website...

My grand goal of having this bus together for this year's Christmas parade may be a little ambitious. I can't do anything unless I can enlist a little assistance!

Any suggestions, ladies?

what about just paint it, maybe not the way you would in the end, but just get it done enough to make it to the parade? Then, do the final paint and body work on your own time. Just an idea
