Grafted
I know Mr.Sharkey is not too keen to the idea, and i see his point, but i really want to know how people have welded VW buses on to the roof of school buses. I've given alot of thought to the topic, and have my own ideas how it could be done, but i want to see a diagram or the like. I would even settle for interior photos of the juntion, or whatever people can offer.

Ok, that was funny, but not helpful.
Here's the only image I have access to that shows a VW/Bus graft that looks to me like it's worth the effort:
It's one of several of this bus in Roger Beck's book Some Turtles Have Nice Shells. What was done with this one is that the VW bus was cut lengthwise, and a section added so that the walls of the VW were even with the walls of the school bus. The result is quite roomy inside, although I have no idea how the structural stuff was done, or if it leaks water. There are interior photos of it in the book, and exterior shots that show the section inserted better, including a piece of glass between the two halves of the original VW windshield.

VW graft and slide out
Hi Sharkey & Dadeo
I swaped a couple of emails with the guy who ownes The Boogie bus and he told me he got the slide out from a reck for $175.00 with the couch. Although a modern rig It's a pretty sweet ride don't you think?
Peace along the way

it was something like this that i saw at a Grateful Dead show that first introduced me to house busses, and its still like it the best.
