KAO SCOUTED THIS BUS FROM A WRECKING YARD IN NORTHERN NEVADA WHERE IT WAS SCHEDULED TO BECOME A PARTS CAR AND LATER CRUSHED.. THE BUS WAS ALL THERE WHEN KAO PICKED IT UP ONLY MISSING FRONT BUMPER AND HAD A HUGE DENT IN ONE OF THE DOORS. THE DOOR WAS SWAPPED OUT WITH A NICE REPLACMENT AND THE BUMPER WAS SHIPPED IN FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. KAO STRIPPED THE ENTIRE BUS DOWN TO A METAL SKELETON AND STARTED BUILDING.
