Restoration, Rebuild and Re-powering of classic 1954 Flxible Visicoach Bus Phase 1. The re-powering was done in the fall of 2009, the bodywork and paint was done in the spring of 2010, and with the gutting completed this spring, the rebuilding continues...

I love the color change! I had a WV bus that was that color. The redo was fabulous! Great job!

Nice set up on one of my favorite bus designs. That new engine should make it much more roadible than the original.

Very nice bus! I recently found 2 Flxible's near me for sale. I want a bus and the Flxibles have the awesome styling but we may just buy a MCI or possibly a Skoolie. When I was maybe 19 or 20 I worked part time for extra cash cleaning at the Flxible bus Co in Delaware ,OH. I got to see some cool things like the CNG buses.

I've been watching a lot of bus videos like 'bus grease monkey' and others. When I saw this I had to click on it and even subscribed. I am a little disappointed though to find this is the only video about the bus on your channel. I really wanted to know about the new engine and gear box you put in it and other parts of the mechanicals. I also wanted to see a better video on the finished bus perhaps with narrative and a short drive. Overall I really like the look of this bus.

Love the green bus color, very pleasing to the eye! Nice job on the remodel, so roomy, I envy you! The vintage chrome details on front hood are so lovely! What kind of spray foam did you use? I'm looking for something robust and non-toxic. Please share this detail as I am remodeling my Class C RV and lots of small areas need insulation. Foam will be easy to squeeze in. I'm also curious about what material you coated the front entry steps with? Was this a plastic type sheeting, or paint on thick rubber coating? Looks good. For ceiling, some creative ideas are: vintage tin tiles with embossed design, not shiny, but with a patina of old paint. Lends a lot of texture, but you have to see if it fits your style. Can also be used as a backsplash. There are places online that make these architectural copies of old vintage Victorian ceiling tiles. I've also seen people do ceilings with a nice grain thin wood panels. If you use these, refinish with shellac for a warm glow. You can insert aluminum strips to get a pleasing contrast to the wood, and break up the continuous wood cabin look.

@RailcarEng The motor is a 1995 C8.3 Cummins (275 hp) 800+ (lb ft) torque bumped to approx 325 hp The trans is an Allison MT644 The bus was modified to accept a larger radiator and a inter-cooler. A hydraulic fan moves the air for cooling

Did you sell it ? and if so how much?
@RailcarEng
@RailcarEng 14 лет назад
What did you repower it with? Looks like a cummins(ISB/ICS) - and an Allison(B400)? What horse power are you at. I assume you had to change the cooling as well?

Is it still stick? Why remove the fluting on the outside?
@dwc0052
@dwc0052 4 года назад
The standard transmission was replaced with a Allison automatic,the siding was in bad shape (Someone tried to clean the fluting with a power wire wheel) and after the bus was painted we liked it the way it was.
@1940limited
@1940limited 4 года назад
@@dwc0052 Unbelievable! A power wire wheel is a sure way to destroy the fluting. I keep looking for a totally original Flxible Clipper but will probably never find it.

Nice job getting rid of that dated interior. The old Flxible owners and Flxible owners in general have bad taste except the Creative cruiser dude. Surprised you didn't use aluminum to frame that back wall to keep the bus light. A nice thin wood veneer or even stainless steel for the roof would be amazing. I've seen some dudes use these tacky foil looking panels to do the roof. Ughh!
